About

Canadian Studies is a program for those who seek a deeper understanding and appreciation of our society, its origins, unique character and problems. The program's core courses provide critical perspectives on the major issues and controversies that mark contemporary Canada. A wide range of related courses that promote understanding of the origins and workings of Canadian society can be elected.

Core courses are interdisciplinary, drawing lecturers from several disciplines who discuss or debate a subject from their unique perspectives. Students may select non-core courses to suit their individual interests. Canadian Studies tackles controversial issues like racism, emerging women's roles, problems of working life, First Nations' concerns, and American influence in Canadian society.
