<p>Rather than a liberal arts school, which is really an American specialty, I would look for select liberal arts programmes within Canadian Universities. Some examples that may interest you are Arts1 at UBC, the humanities programme at Carleton, the great books programme at Brock, History 121 at Queen’s, and the Foundation Year at King’s/Dalhousie. These are very distinguished programmes for select students and easily equivalent to US offerings. Graduates from Canadian universities go to US grad schools in some numbers. The current president of Princeton if it interests you graduated from Queen’s, The chief glory of the Canadian system was the honours programme which at every school was a university within a university. That died at the University of Toronto in the early seventies. Some remnants of the old separate honours stream still survive at Queen’s, University of Toronto and maybe Western and McGill. Trent is also a suprisingly strong school for liberal arts.</p>
