About the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada

About the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada

Established in 1994 thanks to an innovative agreement between the Bronfman family and Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada (MISC) runs an academic program at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, supports an active research environment, and organizes a variety of large-scale, public events on matters of interest to Canadians, including MISC's Annual Conferences, which attract a great deal of attention from policy-makers, media, and the general public. While the Institute itself is non-partisan, MISC is no stranger to debate and controversy.

Our program focuses on different aspects of Canada and its key institutions, including the humanities, social sciences, and liberal arts. Adaptive thinking, communication, independent learning, research capacity, assertiveness, collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership and networking, and public engagement are the main learning objectives. The program has a focused, practical approach to learning, with more leadership training. The Minor Concentration enables students to take courses about Canada outside the areas of their other major or minor concentrations.
