Welcome to the Center for Canadian Studies at Duke University. Duke has a strong tradition in Canadian Studies dating back more than three decades. Over the years, we have graduated more than 100 PhDs whose work has focused on Canada. Today, these former students teach at leading universities across Canada and the United States.
The study of Canada at Duke began much earlier as part of the Commonwealth Studies Program. On May 12, 1974, Duke President Terry Sanford presented an honorary doctorate to Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and announced that Duke would establish an independent center devoted to the study of Canada.
Duke University has a strong tradition of Canadian speakers that include prime ministers,
Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien.Ten years ago there were 64 Canadian students on our campus. Today there are over 125. The Center also proud to host a Fulbright Visiting Chair in Canadian Studies each spring semester.

Sincerely,
Director, Center for Canadian Studies
