Department Focus
Global Studies offers Aboriginal Studies, Business Studies, Canadian & World Studies and the Social Sciences programs, respectively. In studying these subjects, students learn how people interact with and within their social and physical environments today, and how they did so in the past. Students also develop the knowledge and values they need to become responsible, active, informed, and inclusive Canadian citizens in the twenty-first century. In addition, students acquire 21st Century Skills such as creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, communication, citizenship, and character education, which in turn they apply to other secondary school subjects, in their future studies, and in today's rapidly changing world.
Courses in Aboriginal Studies provide students with an awareness and understanding of the histories, cultures, worldviews, and contributions of aboriginal peoples in Canada to help them better engage with aboriginal issues discussed at local, national and global levels.
Courses in Business Studies examine the multifaceted functions and operations of businesses, from small businesses to multinational enterprises. A strong sense of business fundamentals is established for those interested in further study and training in specialized areas such as management, international business, marketing, accounting, information and communication technology, or entrepreneurship. It also provides practical skills for those who wish to move directly into the workplace.
Courses in Canadian & World Studies contribute significantly to students' understanding of Canada's heritage and its physical, social, cultural, governmental, legal, and economic structures and relationships. While courses in the Social Sciences focus on how individuals influence and are influenced by families, communities, cultures, institutions, and societies, and by ideas, norms, and values.
