The Canadian Studies Program is an interdisciplinary and internationally focused program that seeks to broaden the studen'ts understanding of Canadian society, past and present. The program sponsors Canadian Studies courses and is active in bringing distinguished speakers to campus to discuss topics including the arts, politics, history, and First Nations issues. The program sponsors many study trips to Canada. In recent years students and faculty have traveled together to Montreal, Toronto, and Halifax, in order to study and visit health and social assistance agencies, community organizations representing Canada's multicultural society, and First Nations agencies, including Kahnawake, the Mohawk Reserve in Quebec.

The Canadian Studies Program sponsors the Canadian Studies Minor, which is an excellent program of study for students seeking a cross-cultural and internaionally-focused education. The minor complements fields such as business, health care, teaching, and human services.
