About Liberal Arts
About Liberal Arts
The Liberal Arts program represents a contemporary approach to the traditional concept of a broad, non-specialist undergraduate education in the humanities that is tailored to the environment of a research-intensive university. The program recognizes the value of a classical liberal arts education, yet approaches the liberal arts from a global perspective, emphasizing diversity and difference, and providing new ways of engaging the liberal arts.
The program exposes students to texts from, and histories of, a wide range of cultures and societies. Students will be able to choose from three intellectual streams:
Students in the program will also be required to develop a working knowledge of, and take courses in, a language other than English. Students who are native speakers of a language other than English will be strongly encouraged to develop a working knowledge of, and take courses in, a third language.
The Liberal Arts program is designed to provide students with tools for critical inquiry and effective communication skills. It affirms in an innovative way the Faculty of Arts' commitment to the humanities and its core mission to foster cross-disciplinary perspectives; diverse and engaged communities; and critical thinking.

Quebec Studies/Études sur le Québec (QCST)
Quebec Studies/Études sur le Québec (QCST)
Généralités : Études sur le Québec
Généralités : Études sur le Québec
Le Programme d'études sur le Québec veut favoriser la recherche et la formation multidisciplinaires en études québécoises.
Avec l'appui des départements, la concentration Mineur et la concentration Majeur en études sur le Québec sont constituées l’une et l’autre d'une suite agencée de cours ayant pour but de fournir un enseignement interdisciplinaire aussi complet que possible sur la société québécoise à l'intérieur d'un cadre canadien et international.
Sauf les cours Quebec Culture and Society (QCST 300), Travaux dirigés (QCST 472D1/QCST 472D2) et le séminaire Contemporary Issues in Quebec (QCST 440), les cours compris dans la concentration Majeur ou la concentration Mineur sont sous la responsabilité des divers départements. Pour connaître la description de ces cours et, le cas échéant, les conditions d'admission, l'étudiant(e) est donc invité(e) à se reporter aux autres sections de cette publication et, au besoin, à consulter les départements concernés, d'autant plus que tous les cours ne se donnent pas nécessairement à chaque année. Veuillez noter que les conseillers pédagogiques ou les directeurs de programmes peuvent suggérer l'inscription à un cours sans toutefois imposer ce choix. La décision finale revient à l'étudiant(e) en ce qui concerne l'inscription à un cours en autant que l'étudiant(e) répond aux conditions d'admission pour ce cours.
Le titre de chaque cours indique s'il est donné en français ou en anglais, mais les travaux et examens peuvent toujours être rédigés dans l'une ou l'autre de ces deux langues (sauf au Département de langue et littérature françaises, où le français est de rigueur).
Pour de plus amples renseignements, veuillez voir www.mcgill.ca/qcst.
About Quebec Studies
About Quebec Studies
The Quebec Studies program is intended to stimulate interdisciplinary studies and exchanges centering on Quebec society.
With departmental support, a major concentration and a minor concentration are offered, both of which consist of a coherent series of courses providing an interdisciplinary perspective on Quebec society in a Canadian and an international context.
Except for the general course Quebec Culture and Society (QCST 300), the Tutorial (QCST 472D1/QCST 472D2), and the seminar Contemporary Issues in Quebec (QCST 440), courses included in the Major Concentration or Minor Concentration are the responsibility of the departments. To obtain a complete description of these courses and the admission requirements (where applicable), students should read the relevant sections of the eCalendar and, if necessary, consult with the departments concerned, bearing in mind that not all courses are available in any given year. Please take note that an adviser or a director of a program can recommend registration in a course without imposing this choice. The final decision belongs to the student if the student has successfully completed the course prerequisites.
The title of each course indicates whether it is given in French or English, but term papers and exams can be written in either of these two languages (except in the French Language and Literature Department, where French is the rule).
