Why study Canada in Georgia?

Canada is our state's largest foreign trading partner, with billions of dollars in annual trade. Therefore, studying Canada makes you competitive in Georgia's job market.
As our nearest neighbor, Canada shares geographic, cultural and historical ties with the U.S. Thus, learning about Canada helps you understand the choices and history that have shaped the U.S. as it is today.
Canadian Studies can be an excellent supplement to a degree in a broad range of disciplines -- political science, anthropology, business, art, literature, foreign language, sociology, geosciences and history.
