What it isThis program lets you study the French language, literature, and culture in depth, including how French works across different regions and contexts. You'll also learn translation skills, which sets it apart from a basic language course — you're not just learning to speak French, but understanding how meaning moves between languages and cultures. It suits students who love reading, writing, and the nuances of how language shapes thought.You study the Anishinaabemowin language — the language of Anishinaabe peoples in the Great Lakes region — alongside broader Aboriginal Studies content. This is a dedicated language program, not a general Indigenous studies degree, so you spend significant time learning to speak, read, and write the language itself. It suits people with genuine interest in Indigenous languages and cultures, particularly those from Anishinaabe communities or those committed to language revitalization work.You study one modern language in depth — French, Spanish and Latin American culture, or Italian — alongside English literature and related humanities. Each stream lets you focus on the language itself, its literature, and the history and culture of regions where it's spoken. This suits you if you want genuine fluency in a second language combined with understanding of its cultural context, rather than a broad survey of multiple languages.A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.
