Dalhousie University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Canadian Studies Program

1998-

Canadian Studies is an academic program that reaches across departments and faculties to expand students’ understanding of Canada from multiple perspectives, including historical, economic, political, literary, and sociological. Beginning in 1998, Canadian Studies was based upon a strong tradition of research and teaching in a wide range of Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Faculty of Science departments and in other associated faculties and professional schools such as Health Professions, Law, and the University of King’s College School of Journalism.

The Canadian Studies Program is located in the Marion McCain Arts and Social Sciences Building on Dalhousie’s Studley Campus.

The Canadian Studies Program offers a Minor, a Double Major or a Combined Honours BA or BSc conjointly with most other disciplines. The program centres around a group of core courses that study Canada from an interdisciplinary perspective in combination with electives cross-listed in other departments throughout the university.

The Canadian Studies Program is within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. It is overseen by a program coordinator appointed from among the full-time faculty with administrative support. Faculty members teaching in the Canadian Studies program come from a range of departments in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, as well as other departments and programs across Dalhousie.
