Are you fascinated with North America as a distinct historical, cultural, political and economic entity? Curious about Canada’s socio-political place on the continent? North American Studies is an interdisciplinary program where you will focus your studies in one of four key areas: business and economy, culture and identity, public policy or Indigenous Peoples. By studying how these countries interact and influence each other, you’ll gain valuable insights into regional dynamics that can enhance your ability to navigate and influence cross-border issues in various professional roles.

This program must be combined with another Bachelor of Arts program.
