    About

    Why take Canadian Studies at MSVU?

    The Canadian studies programme at Mount Saint Vincent University is the oldest and best-established undergraduate Canadian Studies program in Nova Scotia. Our small enrollment limits for upper year classes (CANA 3301 and CANA 4401, have enrollment limits of 25 and 15, respectively) means that there are chances for class discussion, and getting to know your classmates.

    In addition, there are plenty of resources available to our students outside of the classroom. You can have close contact with your professors, and are able to ask them for help and guidance. There is also the Canadian Studies Student Society, which brings former and current students together for events and activities.

    Finally, there are unique awards and opportunities for our students. We offer the Andrea and Charles R. Bronfman Award, which allows the recipient to spend a week in Ottawa on Parliament Hill. There are also year-long exchange programs with Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario.
