MAINE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH CANADA
The University of Maine is as close to the world’s second largest French-speaking city – Montreal - as it is to Providence (RI), and UMaine is closer to Canada’s Capital city - Ottawa –than it is to New York City. The State of Maine is located at the crossroads of Atlantic Canada and Central Canada, and Maine shares a border with the provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec and an international boundary with Nova Scotia. Maine and these three closest provinces share history, culture, and heritage going back hundreds of years.
Canada is Maine’s largest trade partner. Over 37,000 jobs in Maine depend on the Canada-Maine trade relationship, and 61 Canadian-owned companies employ 6,500 people in 176 locations in Maine.
CANADIAN STUDIES MINOR
A student who takes a minor in Canadian Studies is prepared with a foundation for employment with Canadian companies, organizations, and institutions. But most importantly, a student with a Canadian Studies minor gains a foundation which provides the student with confidence to effectively and knowledgeably engage with anyone from Canada – the country which is America’s closest and most important international ally and economic trade partner.
CURRICULUM FOR A CANADIAN STUDIES MINOR
The Canadian Studies minor requires 6 courses. These must include CAN 101 - Introduction to Canadian Studies, two Canadian Core Courses (100% Canadian content), and three additional courses from either the Core or Canadian Related Courses (50 % or more Canadian content).
UMaine offers Canadian Studies courses in 18 disciplines, with the majority in Anthropology, Business, Economics, English, Forestry, History, Political Science, and French. Given Maine’s location next to the Francophone populations in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces and also the state’s Franco American heritage, the Canadian Studies minor includes courses in North American French.
