What it is	Canadian Studies is the academic examination of Canada's history, culture, and social development across different time periods and regions. You explore how Canada formed as a nation, how Indigenous peoples and immigrants shaped it, and how it relates to broader North American contexts. This program suits students interested in understanding Canada's past and present through historical and cultural analysis rather than pursuing a specialized professional credential.	This program lets you study Indigenous history, cultures, and heritage in depth, with a focus on understanding Indigenous peoples' experiences, knowledge systems, and contemporary issues. It differs from a general history degree by centering Indigenous perspectives and ways of knowing rather than treating Indigenous content as a side topic. It suits people genuinely interested in Indigenous studies who want to build knowledge that respects Indigenous voices and can lead to work in education, community organizations, or cultural institutions.	A degree in linguistics, language and society teaches you how languages work, how people use them, and what role language plays in culture and society. You'll study subjects like how languages change over time, how brains process speech, and how language connects to history, law, and Indigenous cultures. The iBA version requires you to spend a year studying abroad in a French-speaking environment, giving you immersion in language learning alongside your coursework. This program suits people curious about communication, cultural diversity, and how language shapes human experience.
