What will I learn?

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 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.

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.
