With a minor in Canadian Studies, students will be better equipped to deal with political, economic, social and even cultural issues that will arise vis-a-vis Canada, a close military ally and trading partner. In an era that features the internet, Free Trade, and most importantly, issues of border security and national defense, knowledge of Canada is particularly useful in a number of careers. The Canadian Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program which includes Political Science, Geography, Anthropology, Romance Languages, and Public Affairs.
