Education Abroad & Exchange - Canada

Canada is a nation of remarkable geographic contrasts and cultural diversity that remains largely unfamiliar to most citizens of the United States, despite the fact that 80% of all Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border.
Programs in both English and French, illustrate two approaches to foreign study in Canada. French majors should consider francophone programs in Quebec for immersion in a French-speaking culture. Students from any number of majors can enjoy the freshness and diversity of either French- or English-speaking Canada.
UMass Amherst sponsors a number of academic exchanges with universities in Canada. The Carleton University exchange grew out of direct contacts with UMA which have been sustained for many years. In 1982 UMA became a member of the New England Quebec Student Exchange Program, which opened the door for students to study at any of the universities in the province of Quebec.
