BA/BS in Canadian Studies

Brock University's Bachelor of Arts in Canadian Studies, offered through the Centre for Canadian Studies in the Faculty of Humanities, examines the culture, politics, history, and geography that shape Canadian identity. The program is structured as a co-major, so students combine it with a second major such as History, English, French Studies, Popular Culture, Geography, or Politics; a Canadian Studies minor is also available and can be added to most other programs at Brock. Coursework takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on the university's location in the Niagara border region and its history of Indigenous peoples, settler communities, and the War of 1812. Students develop research and communication skills and can take part in local and cross-border conferences, with opportunities for international exchange partnerships. Graduates go on to careers and further study in fields such as law, business, policy analysis, health, education, and government service.
