加拿大和美国共享一个大陆，并通过深厚的经济联系，几种共同的历史经验以及许多文化相似性而联系在一起，它们也具有真实而重要的差异。加拿大裔美国人研究专业通过三个专业领域，帮助学生理解和解决这些异同，使他们为解决当今和未来北美的关键文化，环境和经济问题做好准备：加拿大裔美国人关系，加拿大历史/文化/身份，法语国家的加拿大。
Canada and the United States share a continent and are linked by deep economic ties, several common historical experiences, and many cultural similarities, they are also marked by real and important differences. The Canadian-American Studies major helps students better understand the impact of these similarities and differences as well as how they affect key cultural, environmental, and economic issues in North America today and in the future through three specializations: Canadian-American relations, Canadian Histories/Cultures/Identities, and Francophone Canada. Additionally, students may design their own specialization in consultation with a faculty advisor.
