Abstract
In this research, we compare the results for a 2009 survey of Iowa State University students (our non-Canadian Studies sample) with the 2010 survey of Loyola University, Chicago, the University of Missouri, and Université Laval students (our Canadian Studies sample) on their knowledge of Canada. In general, we find significant differences between these two groups on the overall survey results, but we also find differences between the two groups on two subscales within the survey (one on geography, politics, and economic items, the other on Québec culture). We also report the difference among the three groups of students with exposure to Canadian Studies. Not unexpectedly, we find that the Laval students to be more knowledgeable about Québec, but we also find some differences among students at these institutions on their knowledge of political, geographical, and economic knowledge of Canada. We conclude our analysis by discussing the implications of these results for increasing the knowledge about Canada through Canadian Studies courses.
