Canadian Studies seeks to analyse and explain the Canadian experience in all of its dimensions. These include Canada's vast and varied geographical character, its regional distinctions, its history and politics, its cultures and economy, its urban, modern and multicultural realities. An important feature of Canadian Studies is the analysis of Canada's place in the world. Questions about Canada and the world are addressed across departments and disciplines at the university. The Canadian Studies Program approaches these questions by drawing together the analytical strengths and content of individual disciplines in the humanities, the social sciences, and the sciences. The multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches of Canadian Studies core courses are a distinguishing feature of Canadian Studies.
There are many reasons for taking Canadian Studies. The program's courses provide students with skills and knowledge that graduates find very valuable in their working lives - as teachers in the classroom; as government employees at various levels - municipal, provincial, national and international; as individuals working in the private sector or in business. The multi-disciplinary or interdisciplinary approaches of Canadian Studies core courses provide students the opportunity to develop unique and flexible analytical skills.
Mount Allison's Canadian Studies Program offers courses leading to a Minor, Major, or Honours as well as a range of courses that can be taken as electives or as distribution credits. Students looking for more information about Canadian Studies at Mount Allison may consult the program web page or the Program Advisor.
