McGill University is an excellent institution that has many resources to offer if one is a driven and inquisitive student. However, their new program “Education in Global Contexts” is arguably quite underdeveloped and is the only reason I have found myself dissatisfied at McGill university. The first-year requirements isolate one from the greater student body, do not require students to cultivate critical thinking skills, and are arguably not well related to future careers this degree could provide. Overall, McGill is a strong academic institution, but their integrated education and arts program should be avoided if one is seeking a challenge and does not have an interest in teaching.
