North American Studies - Colorado College

Adviser: Professor Cook, Political Science; Secondary Advisor: Professor LINDAU, Political Science.

The North American Studies Program is designed to create an understanding of the complex regional forces shaping North America. Political, social, cultural and economic ties between Mexico, the United States and Canada are transforming all three countries, creating a region which is ever more closely related and interdependent.

The North American Studies Program includes:

1. A Thematic Minor
2. Block visitors from Mexico, Canada and the United States.
3. A North American Institute during the Summer Session. This first part of this course is taught at Colorado College, followed by travel to Canada and Mexico.
