 Interdisciplinary Minor in Canadian Studies
Specialization in Canadian Studies is offered only as a minor concentration at Wayne State University. The program is interdisciplinary and is intended to offer students an opportunity to focus on linkages that exist between the United States and Canada. Included in the courses comprising the minor are offerings in both the social sciences and the humanities, including disciplines such as geography, political science, English, and history.
An academic minor in Canadian Studies allows students to select a major in an established discipline, while still making possible the pursuit of interests in Canada.
Students planning to minor in Canadian Studies should consult with the Canadian Studies Director at the beginning of their junior year.
The minimum requirement for a minor in Canadian Studies is eighteen credits, distributed as follows:
1. PS 2700 -- Introduction to Canadian Studies (GPH2700, HIS 2700, ENG 2670): Cr. 3
2. Fifteen additional credits in Canadian-content courses, of which at least twelve must be from classes at the 3000 level (or their University of Windsor equivalent) or higher.
