Program Details
In the Bachelor of Humanities, students read the world’s most influential books and explore the world’s most exciting ideas in art, philosophy, history, literature, classics, music, religion and science. You will study the world’s most influential books and artworks including Homer, Plato, Dante, the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, Machiavelli, Algonquin myths, Shakespeare, Mozart, Mary Shelley, Picasso, Rushdie and more.
This “Great Books” program focuses on big ideas, explored through small discussion groups and writing assignments. The typical Humanities student loves to read and is excited about sharing ideas with students and professors. Students are invited to participate in an extensive cultural program, including a student literary journal, music nights, visits to museums, and subsidized trips to Montreal and New York City.
At the program’s heart are four core seminars. Each seminar focuses on a different time period and discipline (religion, philosophy, literature and politics). Core seminars for Humanities students are taught by two professors and include small discussion groups. Complementary courses round out the curriculum in subjects like ancient and modern drama, history of art and music, and science in the modern world.
Program Options
Humanities students have the option to add another discipline to receive a Combined Honours degree or a minor in another subject. A Bachelor of Journalism and Humanities degree and a Bachelor of Humanities and Biology degree are also offered.
Capital Advantage
Institutions such as Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian Museum of History, and the National Gallery of Canada all contribute to the cultural advantages of studying in the nation’s capital. Many nationally and internationally renowned speakers and dignitaries visit our city and students can hear them speak at public lectures, conferences and in Parliament.
Work Experience
Students in the Bachelor of Humanities can ask to be paired with a professional mentor and can gain insight into the workplace before they graduate. Many students in the Bachelor of Humanities also take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.
