Overview

The Centre for Canadian Studies offers a co-major (so you would take Canadian Studies along with another major, such as History, English, French, Popular Culture, Geography, or Politics). Students can also add Canadian Studies as a minor field, so it would enhance their studies in nearly any program at Brock. The Canadian Studies degree is offered at Brock University.

Key Facts

Situated on the Border between Canada and the United States, and in a region steeped in history of Indigenous peoples, settler communities, and the War of 1812 that helped define Canadians as a people, Brock’s Centre for Canadian Studies is an ideal place to learn about the fascinating, complicated, and ever-changing way Canadians understand themselves and their place in the world.Along with a deep understanding of Canada, as a Canadian Studies student you will develop advanced communication and research skills, learn interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving, and explore national and international perspectives on issues affecting Canada and the world. You will also have the opportunity to participate in local and cross-border conferences and the potential for international exchanges with partners abroad.

Understanding Canada to this depth provides you with a grounding and insight that will enhance your life and career. Canadian Studies graduates are in demand in many careers, including law, business, policy analysis, health, education, and government service.

Programme Structure

Undergraduates are also required to take core interdisciplinary courses offered by the Canadian Studies program itself. These courses are designed to familiarize students with the unique nature of the Canadian experience.
Canadian Studies reflects on how we create meaning for the nation across time and space, among our social relationships and institutions, within and beyond our cultural and territorial boundaries, and through a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Our goal is to help students understand perceptions of Canada through intensive engagement with Canadian histories, texts and practices.
