The Canadian studies program is focused on the interdisciplinary study of Canada.
Material is drawn from traditional academic books as well as from current media.
A specialist or major in Canadian studies is excellent preparation for a career in journalism, government, law, education, or positions in Canadian cultural institutions. In the upper years of this program it is possible to undertake directed research that can serve as an apprenticeship for such careers. A minor in Canadian studies can be a useful extra qualification for students taking a major in a related field. You should include Introduction to Canadian Society and Culture, UNI130Y in your selection of first-year courses. At the end of your first year, or after you have completed four full credits, you should apply for enrollment in the program at your registrar's office.
