What it is	This program lets you study the ideas, cultures, and creative works that shape human society — choosing from subjects like English, history, languages, drama, and philosophy. Unlike science or engineering programs, humanities focus on interpretation, argument, and understanding rather than technical problem-solving. It suits people who enjoy reading, writing, discussing ideas, and exploring different cultures and time periods, and the co-op option lets you apply those skills in workplaces beyond campus.	You study how people communicate through media — TV, film, social media, journalism, advertising, and public relations. The program combines theory about how media shapes society with practical skills in creating and analyzing media content. It suits people interested in understanding media's role in the world and developing hands-on abilities in broadcasting, digital production, or communications work.	A BA Honours at Guelph lets you specialize in one of nine humanities and social science subjects — from English to Economics to Fine Art — while completing a standard four-year degree. The co-op option integrates paid work terms into your studies, letting you gain professional experience in your field alongside classroom learning. This suits students who want depth in a particular subject and prefer learning through both study and real-world application.	You study a broad mix of human culture, history, and society through disciplines like anthropology, literature, drama, area studies, and food studies. Unlike a specialized honours program, this option lets you combine subjects freely and explore different fields before deciding on a focus. It suits students curious about people, ideas, and culture who want flexibility and the chance to gain work experience through co-op placements.
