U. of Manitoba offers nine Ukrainian courses

WINNIPEG - The Center for Ukrainian Canadian Studies at the University of Manitoba is offering nine courses for the academic year 1999-2000. Of these courses, five are full-year (two semesters) and four are half-year courses.

The course offerings cover six areas: language, history, economics, political studies, religion and fine art.

The courses include: "Conversational Ukrainian," "History of Ukraine," "The Economy of Ukraine" (first semester), "Government, Politics and Society in Ukraine," "History of Eastern Christianity," "Major Thinkers in the Eastern Christian Tradition," "History of Byzantine Art I" (first semester), "History of Byzantine Art II" (second semester) and "Central and East European Avant-Garde Art" (second semester).

Most of the courses are held during the daytime, however three ("Conversational Ukrainian," "History of Ukraine" and "Government, Politics and Society in Ukraine") are offered in the evenings.

Most of the courses are offered on the campus of the University of Manitoba at St. Andrew's College or other locations; however, one course ("Conversational Ukrainian") is offered in North End Winnipeg at the Ukrainian National Home.

Courses may be taken simply for general interest, as options or as components in various departments and faculties. For students interested in specializing in the area, the center offers interdisciplinary programs in Ukrainian Canadian Heritage Studies leading to a bachelor of arts degree with a general major, an advanced major, or a minor in the field.

The Center for Ukrainian Canadian Studies, established in 1981 through an affiliation agreement between St. Andrew's College and the University of Manitoba, provides undergraduates with courses and interdisciplinary programs of study in areas relating to Ukraine and the life of Ukrainians in Canada.

The Center for Ukrainian Canadian Studies at the University of Manitoba is unique in that it alone offers interdisciplinary programs leading to a B.A. in Ukrainian studies. No other Canadian university or other leading centers in North America offer a B.A. in Ukrainian studies.
