卡爾頓大學

In the Bachelor of Humanities, students read the world’s most influential books and explore the world’s most exciting ideas in art, philosophy, history, literature, classics, music, religion and science. In this interdisciplinary Liberal Arts program, students study the world’s greatest ideas, books, and art works produced by thinkers from the span of recorded world history from ancient Mesopotamia to modern America. The emphasis of the program is on ideas, explored through small discussion groups and writing assignments. The typical Humanities student loves to read, and is excited about sharing ideas with students and professors.

The Bachelor of Humanities can take you anywhere you want to go. Humanities students graduate with outstanding research, writing, and communications skills, and they normally rise very quickly in their chosen professions. Humanities students can ask to be paired with a professional mentor and can gain insight into the workplace before they graduate. Graduates may go on to rewarding careers in law, journalism, teaching, medicine, business, policy analysis, Foreign Service, international relations, public service, writing and research.

The Bachelor of Humanities Honours is the most comprehensive and guided version of the degree. It is designed for students with the broadest interests, and as such includes the highest number of courses specified by the College.

The Bachelor of Humanities with a Combined Honours or a minor allows students to combine Humanities with another subject. Students are free to combine Humanities with any other discipline at Carleton that offers a Combined Honours or a minor, from Philosophy or English to Political Science or Human Rights. Students in this degree program may also study abroad in their third year.

The Bachelor of Humanities Honours with a Study Year Abroad is designed for students who wish to earn credits toward their degree overseas. By specifying that five of the student’s credits are to be taken abroad, this version of the degree offers the student great flexibility in their foreign course choices.

The Humanities and Biology program is designed for students who intend to apply to medical school upon graduation. This Combined Honours program consists of twelve courses in Humanities and eight courses in Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry.

The Bachelor of Journalism and Humanities is for those students who wish to cultivate their love of ideas while training for a career. Students receive professional training in newspaper, radio, television, and new media while gaining an understanding of world culture and history.

Future opportunities

Graduates of the BHum program are able to understand today’s global culture, make free and well-informed judgments, and make significant contributions to civic life. A number of the BHum’s distinctive features give students an advantage as they embark on their chosen career paths.

In completing the BHum curriculum, students learn to analyze complex texts and ideas, and they work closely with faculty in acquiring high-level research and writing skills. In weekly discussion groups, students hone their communication skills, and the College organizes career-related events throughout the year events such as Alumni Career Nights and meetings with College mentors. All these special features give BHum students the skills that are necessary for the following careers (some of which require further training or education).
