to study Classics is to examine ‘a slice of life,’ a complete picture of a civilization

from its creation to decimation. you will focus heavily on the civilizations of Greece

and rome and study their literature, mythology, history, art, archaeology, and language.

Classical Studies

We offer everyone with an interest in ancient Greece or Rome the opportunity to learn Latin, the language of Roman emperors and Christian popes, and Greek, the language of philosophy, tragedy and the New Testament. We start with the very basic elements, so you don’t need to know the languages before you get here.

Courses in the departments of Philosophy, Religion and Liberal Arts are often chosen by Classics students as the material is so closely connected. We welcome students from all disciplines and most of the 200 level courses are suitable for students in their first year. All you need are interest and enthusiasm to begin your journey into the Classical world.

Want to be onstage in your first month on campus? Come to Bishop’s!

With two student-run theatre festivals and multiple studio and main stage productions each year,

there is something for everyone. the department exposes students to all facets of theatre

practice and study and provides them with the flexibility to orient their program towards

a particular field of study: Dramatic literature and Theatre History, Performance

(acting, directing and playwriting) and Production (technical, stage management and design).

Drama

We believe our wholistic approach to theatrical training best prepares students to find success in the contemporary arts scene.

By the end of their final year, students will have had ample opportunity to work on the department’s season of productions in the Turner Studio Theatre and the Centennial Theatre (including at least three productions in the Studio, one main stage production in Centennial during the second semester, the New Plays Festival and the student-produced Theatre Activ). A number of students will also have had the opportunity to become Theatre Assistants for Centennial Theatre, receive an honorarium and be responsible for the proper running of the facilities operations.

Behold the power of words and language. Study traditional and contemporary

literature and media side by side. Dive into English Literature, Cultural and Media Studies,

Film Studies, or Popular narrative streams. And why not add a minor

in Creative Writing & Journalism?

English

An important part of the Bishop’s experience in English is the environment. Small classes enable students and professors to get to know and learn from one another. Students and Professors work closely together to “promote a literary community,” as stated by the EngLit club.

We accomplish this through visiting speakers, poetry nights at local cafés and pubs, movie nights and creative writing contests. We like to think of our Program as an offer you can’t refuse: the chance to develop the most sought after skills in today’s society. By studying English you will hone your analytical skills and learn to use language in a way that will empower you in the job market and, indeed, in life itself.

Cultural products and practices in any particular historical period – whether they be contemporary science-fiction films, the rock ‘n’ roll music of the 1950s, or bear-baiting in the Elizabethan period – are worthy of the same kind of careful study that has traditionally been reserved for literature.

Purpose-built studio facilities in the Molson Fine Arts Building provide space for medium size classes offering individual attention to students' work and a group atmosphere that is congenial and supportive.

A portfolio is requested for Fine Arts applicants entering the Studio concentration. While not an admissions criterion, portfolio review allows for students to be placed in courses of the appropriate technical level and it can lead to introductory courses being exempted. The portfolio should contain 10 pieces of contrasting styles of original work. A CD or paper portfolio can be submitted to the attention of the Admissions Office.

Art History

Through the methods and concepts of art history, students learn the ‘visual’ language of images as they acquire knowledge and understanding of all forms of visual arts ranging from earliest cave paintings to latest new media installations. Students' conceptual horizons are developed through courses on the theory and criticism of art, and the methods and concepts of art history. As Art History is a unique and wide-ranging discipline encompassing aspects of history, philosophy, religion, psychology, sociology, gender and cultural studies, our courses can also found within the departments of Classical Studies, Sociology, and History.

Using diverse approaches, art is critically analyzed in the larger social, cultural, institutional, and ideological context of its production, display, and reception. As students engage with works of art and key texts in art history, theory, and criticism, they develop creative critical thinking, inquiry and analysis; the skills to excel in their studies and propel students to success after graduating.

‘Do’ History and make the connection. Bring the museum to Hollywood with our new

and exciting Public History stream. This growing field provides new opportunities for History

majors in areas such as historical societies, museums, corporations, municipalities,

nGO’s, provincial and federal government agencies, private genealogical enterprises

as well as film and television.

History

In an increasingly connected world, studying history is one of the best ways to expand your cultural awareness and to explore the creative ways humans have responded to past challenges and crises. Studying History promotes an ability to analyze the context in which people make choices and an awareness of the range of consequences which might follow.

In addition, historical study deepens a number of specific skills, which are invaluable assets for graduates entering the work force and taking on the duties of citizenship, such as the ability to engage in research, to evaluate evidence and to present conclusions in a reasoned and coherent way.

read, write, discuss, debate and present on big ideas like eros, love and desire,

justice, beauty, will and the divine. Liberal Arts is a program for students with a passion

for human culture. this fascinating program explores the Western cultural tradition

in the myriad ways it expresses itself - art, literature, philosophy, music, science,

society, politics, and religion.

Liberal Arts

There are numerous opportunities for students to develop their own community, as students are highly encouraged to pursue their passion for human culture and pair this program with a major in another discipline. As much learning as possible takes place in highly interactive settings through our seminar style teaching and courses. Don’t forget to sign up for the many program trips to museums and theatres in New York, Boston, Montreal and Toronto.

The Liberal Arts Foundation Courses, considered the heart of the program, engage with a key theme in the history of Western civilization through interdisciplinary and historical approaches. Students enrolled in the Liberal Arts program are welcomed into Bishop’s with an introductory seminar (LIB 100) and culminate their experience with a final year seminar. All students in the Liberal Arts program are encouraged to complete a second Major in a discipline of their choice. Many courses may be counted towards the requirements of both Majors. The Liberal Arts program also offers an Honours degree, which requires the completion of a comprehensive research thesis.

“Without music, life would be a mistake.” - Nietzsche

We couldn’t agree more! At Bishop’s, our courses and programs are constantly being

redesigned and expanded allowing students to discover music’s power, perhaps

for the first time, or to help realize their full potential as musicians in an

ever-changing, ever-shrinking artistic world.

Music

In an effort to meet the demands of music in the 21st_century, students at Bishop’s have the opportunity of pursuing studies in two different disciplines: Classical Music or Popular Music Studies (Jazz, Rock & Pop). Interdisciplinary programs include degrees in Arts Administration and Secondary Music Education, both with an emphasis in Music. The flexibility within all of our programs also affords you the opportunity to explore other areas of interest across the Bishop’s campus.

How We’re Unique: The B.A. vs. The B.Mus. Students comparing music programs in North America often seek reassurance that a music degree earned at Bishop’s ranks favourably with those around the globe. You will quickly discover that the core courses offered at Bishop’s are the same as those at other institutions. However, in contrast to many conservatories, we proudly boast small class sizes and a collegial, non-competitive environment that facilitates not only the development of your talents, but your confidence as well.

Enter into a conversation with some of history's greatest minds. Shape your views

on fundamental issues such as love and friendship, justice and community, politics,

religion, and indeed the meaning of existence itself. Study the world's greatest philosophical

traditions in an intimate environment in which conversation enriches everyday life.

Philosophy

Classes are small (seldom larger than 15 students after the first year), so there is plenty of time and space to discuss themes with professors and fellow students. Most courses are offered in the seminar format attentive to the particular interests of students, focused on primary sources and designed to invite students to take a leadership role in presenting their own ideas.

Our students graduate having studied closely great works of thought, having learned how to communicate subtle and difficult ideas to others, and having gained extensive experience in technical writing, argumentation and public speaking. They go on to challenging careers in university, college, school and language teaching, law, international aid, filmmaking, business and other fields.

If your plan is to travel and be a citizen of the world: study Religion. Connect with

what is going on in our world in the news today by studying how religion has influenced

–and been influenced by –the political, artistic, intellectual, social, and economic

aspects of cultures throughout history.

Religion

Explore sacred texts, traditions, rituals and beliefs of the world’s major religions. We explore the different ways faith is expressed and practiced, the historical and cultural contexts of religions and their texts, as well as the interconnections between religion and other areas of human life (such as philosophical thought, the psychological, social, political, and economic dimensions of existence, and the presence of religion and religious symbols in literature and fine arts).

Our objective is to examine religion, not to espouse its practice or non-practice. Our approach is not faith based. Students from all disciplines are welcomed in Religion courses, and students in Religion are encouraged to take courses in other related fields. To encourage creative and independent thinking, we emphasize the study of primary texts, rather than simply reading what other people have written about those texts.
