The Centre for Canadian Studies promotes study and understanding of Canada from a comprehensive cultural, social, political and economic perspective, emphasizing both historical context and contemporaneous development. The centre fully utilizes programs developed by other academic departments that contain relevant Canadian subject matter, and offers limited interdisciplinary courses that integrate knowledge from several relevant disciplines.
For those with a predominant interest in Canadian studies, a major and honors program is provided. The centre also accommodates students whose primary interest is in another discipline. Such students may enrol in a joint major or honors program, combining specialization in the department of their choice with complementary work in Canadian studies.
A certificate in French Canadian studies may be completed concurrently with, and as part of, specialization in Canadian studies honors, major or minor programs, or independent of specialization.
Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students completing degree programs must fulfil writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of their program. See “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7 for information. For the faculty’s requirements, see “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 88.
The requirements are as follows. See “Major Program” on page 6 for additional information.
Lower Division Requirements
Students complete both of
CNS 160-3 The Social Background of Canada
HIST 102W-3 Canada Since Confederation
and two of
GEOG 162-3 Canada
POL 221-3 Introduction to Canadian Government
POL 222-3 Introduction to Canadian Politics
POL 223-3 Canadian Political Economy (or CNS 280)
SA 100W-4 Perspectives on Canadian Society
and one of
CNS 210-3 Foundations of Canadian Culture
CNS 250-3 Perspectives on the Environment in Canada
CNS 260-3 Screening Canadian Experience
Students must demonstrate a working knowledge of French which is determined by completing FREN 122, or the former FREN 298, or equivalent, or by passing a placement exam at this level.
Upper Division Requirements
Students complete 30 upper division units minimum, including at least four upper division CNS courses plus 18 additional upper division Canadian studies/Canadian content units. No more than 12 may be from curriculum of any single department or program other than Canadian studies.
Distribution Requirements
To ensure adequate breadth of knowledge, students must complete at least eight required key courses from at least five departments having courses recognized as carrying Canadian studies credit. These courses can be both upper and lower division.
For honors, students complete the same lower division courses and meet the same distribution requirements that apply to the Canadian Studies major, in addition to the following courses.
Lower Division Requirements
Students complete three of
GEOG 162-3 Canada
HIST 101-3 Canada to Confederation
POL 221-3 Introduction to Canadian Government
POL 222-3 Introduction to Canadian Politics
POL 223-3 Canadian Political Economy (or CNS 280)
SA 100W-4 Perspectives on Canadian Society
Upper Division Requirements
Students must complete a minimum of 50 upper division units, including
CNS 495-5 Canadian Studies Honors Essay
Four additional upper division CNS courses must be completed, plus 33 additional upper division units in Canadian studies/Canadian content. No more than 18 units may be from curriculum of any single department or program other than Canadian studies.
Honors students must demonstrate functional bilingual English/French proficiency by completing FREN 221. See “Joint Honors Program” on page 96 regarding level of entry and course challenge.
Students complete nine Canadian studies lower division units from the following.
CNS 160-3 The Social Background of Canada
CNS 210-3 Foundations of Canadian Culture
CNS 250-3 Perspectives on the Environment in Canada
CNS 260-3 Screening Canadian Experience
CNS 280-3 Canadian Political Economy (or POL 223)
Also, 15 units of upper division Canadian studies/Canadian content are required, one of which must be a CNS upper division course.
Students completing this minor with a major, minor or honors in another department or program may not count any Canadian content course used by that department or program as part of the minor. A working knowledge of French is recommended. Minor students do not satisfy key course requirements.
This program consists of the lower division requirements for a major and the upper division requirements for a minor. Certain other criteria may be set by individual departments. Students must have their program approved by the advisor.
Canadian Studies joint majors are available with the Departments of Archaeology, Criminology, English, Geography, History, Political Science, and Sociology and Anthropology, and the School of Communication.
Exception for a history joint major (see page 96), students complete all requirements for a Canadian studies major and the other subject. Any lower division course that counts toward the separate Canadian studies requirements and for the other subject may count towards both. Up to 12 upper division units in both Canadian studies and the other subject may count toward the upper division requirements of both. A joint major in Canadian studies and another subject that also specifies 30 upper division units will therefore require a total of 48 upper division units in the two subjects (30 Canadian studies plus 30 in the other subject minus 12 overlap). Joint majors complete all key courses listed for the other department’s major.
Criminology and Canadian Studies Joint Major Program
See “Criminology and Canadian Studies Joint Major Program” on page 102.
Canadian Studies and Sociology and/or Anthropology Joint Major Program
There are three joint major combinations of Canadian studies with sociology and anthropology. The total upper division unit requirement for this is 58 (30 Canadian studies plus 20 sociology plus 20 anthropology minus 12 overlaps).
Canadian Studies and History Joint Major Program
Students complete all Canadian Studies major requirements plus 24 upper division history units, of which 12 must be 400 division. All upper division courses must be distributed within groups 1, 2 and 3. Students complete at least two from any two groups, and one from the remaining group. See “Major Program” on page 116 for the three groups.
Students complete all requirements for a Canadian studies major and honors in the other subject. Any lower division course that counts toward the separate Canadian studies requirements and the other subject may count towards both. Up to 15 upper division units in both Canadian studies and the other subject may be used toward the upper division requirements of both. Joint honors in Canadian studies and another subject that require 50 upper division units will therefore require 65 upper division units in the two subjects (30 CNS plus 50 in the other subject minus 15 overlap). For joint honors with sociology or anthropology, 75 upper division units are required (30 CNS plus 28 sociology plus 28 anthropology plus four additional sociology or anthropology minus 15 overlap with Canadian studies).
Students also complete the key overlap courses specified below for the Canadian studies joint major and the other subject, and the French language qualification specified above. To determine the French language entry level, a Department of French placement test is required. Students may challenge FREN 210, 211, 221 and 222. See “Course Challenge” on page 28.
Canadian Content Courses
There are two categories that carry Canadian studies credit. ‘Internal’ Canadian studies (CNS) courses are multidisciplinary or may be special topics courses, and are unique to the Canadian studies curriculum. See “Canadian Studies CNS” on page 327.
The other category comprises predominantly Canadian content courses offered by other departments (listed below). Some are considered key and are identified below each departmental listing. Asterisked courses (*) completed for Canadian studies credit require the approval of the Canadian studies director. Additional courses may be approved for Canadian studies credit while others may be dropped. Check with the centre for a current list.
