Canadian Studies Minor

No matter what your major, a minor in Canadian Studies can serve you well. As the closest ally and trading partner of the United States, we share more than just a border with Canada. Canada shares our history, culture and heritage in North America. Canada shares a commitment to a high standard of living, free trade, and democratic ideals. Canada shares a concern for the environment, particulary for the many ecosystems that straddle our common border.

Yet Canada is a unique and vibrant nation, different and distinct from the United States. It is a nation committed to multiculturalism, with strong regional identities and linguistic distinctions. It has a political and social system that gives voice to many political parties and constituencies. It has a burgeoning vitality in the arts and media. A minor in Canadian Studies will give you an appreciation of the distinctiveness of Canadian society and an opportunity to live and study there. It will allow you to explore those aspects of Canada of most interest to you, and with most relevance to your major.

For more information on the Canadian Studies Minor at UNH, contact Ted Howard, Professor of Forestry Economics

"For nearly three decades Professor of Geography Robert G. LeBlanc was Canadian Studies at UNH. He taught his course in Canadian Geography, took his students on field trips to Québec and built the CIE International Resource Library’s holdings on a variety of Canadian subjects. It was Bob’s enthusiasm for Canada that captured my imagination and interest and led to the creation of the UNH Canadian Studies Minor. As a tribute to Bob, the best that we, the faculty, staff, partners and students in the Canadian Studies Minor, can do to honor him is to promote and grow the study of the country to which he devoted his career."
