BA/BS in Classical, Medieval and Renaissance Studies is a bachelor's degree in Classical Studies & Ancient History programme offered by University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 39,007 per year (CAD 8,059 per year for local students).
This Classical, Medieval and Renaissance Studies program examines the development of culture and thought from Graeco-Roman antiquity through the Middle Ages into the Renaissance, spanning roughly 700 BC to AD 1600 and drawing on history, languages, art, philosophy, and related disciplines to explore this span of European cultural history. Three Bachelor of Arts pathways are available: a four-year degree, an Honours track, and a Double Honours option, and students can pursue the program full-time or part-time. Study is based on the main Saskatoon campus, with flexible-learning options available for an off-campus start, and direct admission is available from high school. Students design individualized programs by selecting courses across disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology, art, history, languages, and philosophy, and a dedicated museum-studies course allows students to complete original research culminating in a public exhibit. The program suits students interested in ancient languages, literature, art, and the historical movements that shaped Western civilization, and it is distinctive for treating classical, medieval, and Renaissance periods together as a connected field of study.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from high school requires senior secondary mathematics and a minimum overall admission average of 70%, assessed against the applicant's own curriculum: Saskatchewan applicants need Foundations of Mathematics 30 or Pre-Calculus 30 (Pre-Calculus recommended for a Bachelor of Science stream), with an equivalent senior math course required from other provinces and countries; students missing the course can still be admitted with a math deficiency to clear under advisement. Applications are assessed on a rolling basis until seats fill, and applicants below 70% may be considered for the University of Saskatchewan Transition Entrance Program or special (mature) admission. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet USask's English proficiency requirement, shown on this programme's own admission page as IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 per band, or TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with a minimum of 4.0 per section (the university-wide equivalents also include Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 63 and CAEL 70), or through prior English-medium study.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January, May and July
Application Deadline:The University of Saskatchewan does not publish fixed general application deadlines for its direct-entry undergraduate colleges (Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Dental Hygiene, Dental Therapy): admission requirements and deadlines for the 2027-28 cycle become available only once applications open on 25 September 2026, and the site gives no separate international closing date. Non-direct professional programs set their own dates instead: for September 2027 entry, the College of Law's JD opens 15 October 2026 with rolling review to a 1 February 2027 documents deadline and is not currently accepting international applicants; the College of Medicine's MD applications close 1 October 2026 for domestic (Canadian citizen/PR) applicants only; and the Nutrition program's single deadline is 15 March 2027 for both domestic and international applicants, with no late applications considered. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
