Bachelor of Arts in Humanities

Program Overview

Expand your understanding of world cultures and the diversity of human experience.

Our program devotes particular attention to the ways in which peoples from various times and places have expressed cultural values, practices, and ideas of a philosophical, religious, moral, political and aesthetic nature. Our courses foster a critical approach to reading and research that, in helping students learn to identify and question preconceived assumptions and values, allows them to engage with and appreciate the interrelationships between diverse value systems. In turn, students develop a critical understanding of the human and of human community.

Our graduates have pursued careers in teaching, law, journalism, creative writing, editing, publishing, digital media and much more.

Our core program offers a wide array of courses across a variety of humanities disciplines. Students can focus their degree by specializing in one of our four streams: Power, Diaspora, Race; Arts, Material and Popular Cultures; Digital, Technological, Natural Worlds; Texts, Contexts, Interpretations.

Students interested in courses in Stream One might want to combine their Humanities degree with the Black Studies Certificate.
