Canadian Studies in German-speaking countries
Germany
Canadian Studies is not offered as an independent subject in Germany, but Canadian content is taught in the very widespread North American Studies course . It is also possible to take such a degree from Germany via the Athabasca University , a Canadian distance learning university .
Canadian Studies in North America
In North America itself, especially Canada, the degree is more popular. However, universities there recommend that students take a so-called double major , i.e. combining two major subjects instead of one major with a minor. History, political science or French are recommended as a second subject.
United States
In the United States, there are currently three Bachelor's degrees in Canadian Studies ( Western Washington University , Bellingham; St. Lawrence University , New York City; University of Maine , Orono). Masters and doctoral programs do not currently exist (2019).
