Canadian Studies

    Welcome to the Canadian Studies Program web page. Here you will find information on the history of the program, members and events, and opportunities for BSC students and faculty. The page is updated regularly, so check back often.

The Canadian Studies Minor

    Differences in beliefs, traditions, laws, and language create constant misunderstandings, not only with countries far from our own but with our closest neighbors. Experts in the cultures, economies, and practices of other peoples are vital to successful international relations. To help meet the increasing need, the Canadian Studies Program offers a minor in Canadian Studies.

    Requiring 18 credits, the minor provides BSC students with general knowledge of Canada and in-depth study of subjects such as the Canadian economy, literature, sociology, art, history and more. Students are treated to talks from Canadian writers, artists, business people and government representatives, as well as the expertise and firsthand knowledge of the Program's Canadian Studies professors.
