The Kentucky Canadian Studies Consortium was created by Eastern Kentucky University, Georgetown College, the University of Kentucky, Morehead State University, and Western Kentucky University to provide their students with the opportunity to take Canadian Studies Online Program courses as minor and certificate program courses on their home campuses.
CANADIAN STUDIES ONLINE PROGRAM
The Canadian Studies Online Program was created in 2001 to promote our understanding our North American neighbor: who they are, what we share in common, and what makes us different in our increasingly interconnected and interdependent world. William Green has written about the origins and development of the Canadian Studies Online Program in his “Creating a Canadian Studies Online Program,” in the Fall 2004 Canadian Studies Update.
