BA Canadian Studies

The Canadian philosopher John Ralston Saul noted that Canada s strange peculiarities make the country unique, exciting, complex and a perpetually incomplete experiment. As a Canadian Studies student at Carleton University, you will examine this constantly changing country, discovering more about yourself in the process.The School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies also houses the New Sun Chair in Aboriginal Art and Culture the first university chair in Canada to specialize in this area. This provides students with the expertise of a world-renowned scholar in Aboriginal studies, and the Annual New Sun Conference, organized by the Chair, exposes them to an unparalleled wealth of Aboriginal research and practices.
