A minor in Canadian studies brings together expertise currently held by UNH faculty into a systematic program of study allowing students to add to their major program interests a specialization in some aspect of Canadian society. Students will be exposed to courses and independent study opportunities in subject areas including Canadian history, geography, political science, sociology, health care and management, linguistics, natural resources, business, and Québec language, literature, and culture.

Additionally, students will have opportunities to study in Canada through established study abroad opportunities between UNH and several universities in Québec and Nova Scotia. The possibility for internships at, for example, the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C., also exists.

Please consult the Canadian studies Web site regularly for further information. Canadian Studies students are required to earn 20 credits.
