A minor
in Canadian studies is a logical choice if you would like to
investigate the many facets of what it is to be Canadian. As you would expect,
the courses come from a wide variety of disciplines, in turn reflecting of the
interdisciplinary nature of Grenfell's programming. The minor can be used in
combination with most of the majors at Grenfell Campus, and consists of eight
courses from a wide selection of arts and social science areas.
