American students can find wonderful educational opportunities at colleges North of the border. The Association of the Universities and Colleges of Canada website at www.aucc.ca provides a comprehensive look at higher education in Canada. Their easy-to-use search engine can help students find appropriate programs of study, in their preferred language of instruction. The database can also point you to those programs that provide co-op options. A “Facts and Stats” section offers quick information about the Association’s 95 member colleges and universities.
Even without the benefit of a favorable exchange rate, American students will find that Canadian education is surprisingly cost effective. The website also provides information about eligibility for scholarships at Canadian colleges.
