Each year Humanities faculty members and students attend the Toronto Universities Fair, and are present at Carleton’s general recruitment events. We also host Humanities ‘Speciality Tour’ open-house events in the College of the Humanities itself.

Our Arts and Social Sciences Fair brings students — current and future — and professors together at our downtown Arts, Performance and Learning Centre, the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre, to celebrate what makes the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences a great place to study.
Think Deeply, Live Fully: the Bachelor of Humanities (Great Books) Experience at Carleton
Come learn about the Bachelor of Humanities, Carleton University’s Great Books program. Humanities students read the world’s most influential books and explore the world’s most exciting ideas in philosophy, literature, religion, history, art, music and political theory. They study everything from Plato to Gandhi, from Medieval architecture to the Tao Te Ching, and from Italian Opera to contemporary film. The Bachelor of Humanities program delivers a comprehensive and structured liberal arts education, and yet is flexible enough to be combined with another major – for example, in Journalism, Biology, or English. And its small size encourages a strong sense of community.
