Canadian
Universities/ Universités Canadiennes
Canadian
universities provide a full spectrum of undergraduate and graduate degree
programs, with faculty undertaking research of national and international
importance. Universities in Canada range from large urban, multi-campus
and research-intensive universities, offering a wide range of undergraduate,
graduate and professional programs, to small liberal arts colleges with
a focus on undergraduate education. Others provide specialized professional
programs in fields such as business, engineering, art and design or agriculture.
You will find that
Canada is nothing if not diverse! University colleges represent a new
model for postsecondary education, combining practical vocational programs
with more theoretical offerings. Since Canada is a bilingual country,
our universities demonstrate this by offering instruction in English,
French, or even both!
Three universities
are devoted entirely to distance education - a field in which Canada,
a country of vast spaces and outstanding achievements in telecommunications,
is a world leader. In fact, most universities in Canada offer a wide selection
of courses through distance education, with formats ranging from traditional
print or audiotape correspondence courses, to teleconference or computer
conferences. Support systems for students who study at a distance are
common, including counseling and study skills seminars, tutorial assistance
by phone, fax or computer, and direct online links to campus libraries.
