Montreal Summer Culture Program

May 15 – June 14, 2025

Montreal enjoys a unique reputation as a renowned center for independent music, theater, visual arts, fashion, and circus arts. It’s the perfect location for you to gain unique, first-hand experience with diverse cultures, arts and people.

Create meaningful learning experiences through real-life learning opportunities that enhance your understanding of Montreal’s communities and connect with people who work there.

Participate in outings around the city, meet artists and work on individual or group projects which will contribute to your personal growth and your professional portfolio.

Select two classes in subjects like music, film, or street art. These courses include weekly outings to festivals and cultural gatherings, guest speakers, and project-based learning assignments that connect your classroom lessons to experiences in the field.

Offered Courses

For 2025, Champlain Abroad is offering two Summer Culture Programs:

  • COR-201: Making Meaning through Science in Montreal (3 credits)

    This course studies the application of the scientific method to current environmental issues with a particular focus on how this happens in Montreal. Topics will include biodiversity, forestry, soil, water, fossil fuels, and alternative energy sources, population dynamics, climate change, and others. The scientific, ethical, and political nature of each subject will be covered. Field excursions will give students an opportunity to experience these issues first-hand and see a lot of what Montreal’s scientific communities have to offer.

    COR-202: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Creative Communities in Montreal?(3 credits)

    Students will participate in and observe the many different kinds of creative communities in Montreal that flourish in the summer. Students will be asked to collect data about their experiences out in the city and analyze these outings and first-hand experiences in ways that interrogate their new environments.

  • COR-301: Montreal as a Green City (3 credits)

    In this course, students dig into the relationship between place and identity. Learn how to think spatially, recognizing how one’s identity is situated within and constructed through movement through different spaces–be they natural and built environments, rural and urban, or actual and virtual.

    COR-302/ART-380: Graffiti and Unsanctioned Art in Montreal?(3 credits)

    This course will help students understand and analyze different types of public art: how the visual aspect of urban art has been used as a communication tool as well as an identifier in Montreal; how it has been both celebrated and critiqued for its boldness.

Total Cost: $6,850.00

Includes tuition, housing, international health insurance and some activities. Students are expected to arrive on campus Thursday, May 15 and leave the residence by June 14, 2025.
