What it is	A Humanities program lets you study how humans create meaning through language, culture, history, and ideas. You choose from subjects like English, history, philosophy, drama, and various languages, building a degree around your interests rather than following a single prescribed path. It suits people who want to understand how societies work and express themselves clearly, without committing to a single specialized field from day one.	You study English literature and language alongside comparative texts from other cultures and ancient languages. Unlike a straight English program, this one builds in cross-cultural perspectives, so you're reading works in translation and examining how stories and ideas travel across languages and time periods. It suits people who like close reading, cultural depth, and aren't intimidated by unfamiliar texts.	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.	An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.
