Program details
Overview
The Minor Concentration in Canadian Studies is offered through the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada within the Faculty of Arts. It brings together interdisciplinary courses on Canada drawn from departments across the faculty, covering the country's geographical, political, cultural, and social diversity. Course topics include Canadian history to 1867, Quebec literature, political process and behaviour in Canada, and sex and gender in Canada. The concentration is combined with a major in another discipline as part of a Bachelor of Arts degree. It is commonly paired with related areas such as Quebec Studies, Indigenous Studies, Political Science, and History. Students completing the program engage with Canada from multiple scholarly angles, drawing on history, politics, literature, and cultural studies to build a broad understanding of the country.
