Canadian studies is the in-depth study of the Canadian
experience. Understand the country in its various dimensions
— its history, its political and legal systems, its languages and
cultures, its geographical location, its regions, and its other
unique features. You’ll consider how all of this shapes
Canada’s position in the global arena.
