Treated in comparison to both other middle-sized open economies and other industrial democracies, Canada is examined by the Canadian Studies Program (CSP) from the perspective of trade, financial and commercial relations as well as from the perspective of unique political and cultural institutions. As the greatest trading partner of the United States and the locus of the greatest amount of U.S. foreign investment, Canada is a superb focus for studying trade policy and equity markets. Immigration policy and energy policy are also highlighted. Canada’s relations with Latin America and with Europe are featured throughout. Donner Fellowships are available to students who plan to concentrate in Canadian Studies. Campus Options Students studying at the Bologna Center may concentrate in Canadian Studies. Those students should try to take the courses in Western Hemisphere Studies offered there (the equivalent core course plus the Latin American Studies course offered in the spring semester) as well as courses that will assist in meeting the general economics requirements.
