History

Early history

The University of Manitoba was established in 1877 to confer degrees on students graduating from its three founding colleges - St. Boniface College, St. John's College, and Manitoba College. The University was the first to be established in western Canada. The Collège Universitaire de Saint-Boniface, or CUSB, is a university college affiliated with the University of Manitoba and located in Saint Boniface, Manitoba. ... Entrance to St. ... Manitoba College was a college that existed in Manitoba from 1871 to 1967, when it became one of the University of Winnipegs founding colleges. ...

In 1900 the Manitoba legislature changed the University Act so that the university could do its own teaching, and in 1904 a building in downtown Winnipeg became the first teaching facility with a staff of six professors, all of whom were scientists. By 1929, following the addition of more programs, schools, and faculties, the University had moved to its permanent home in Fort Garry.

By 1920, the University of Manitoba, still the only university in Manitoba, was the largest university in the Prairie Provinces and the fifth largest university in Canada. It had eight faculties: Arts, Science, Law, Medicine, Engineering, Architecture, Pharmacy, and Agriculture. It awarded the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BSc), Bachelor of Civil Engineering (BCE), Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (BEE), Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME), Bachelor of Architecture (BArch), Bachelor of Pharmacy (PhmB), Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSA), Bachelor of Laws (LLB), Master of Arts (MA), Master of Civil Engineering (MCE), Master of Electrical Engineering (MEE), Doctor of Medicine (MD), and Doctor of Laws (LLD). It had 1,654 male students and 359 female students, and 184 academic staff, including only 6 women.^[1] The Canadian prairies is a vast area of flat sedimentary land that stretches from Ontario and the Canadian Shield to the Canadian Rockies covering much of the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta - the Prairie Provinces. ...

The Faculty of Law was actually an affiliated college, the Manitoba Law School, which was founded jointly by the university and the Law Society of Manitoba in 1914. In 1920 it had 123 students, including 5 women, and 21 academic staff.^[1] It became a full part of the university in 1966.^[2]

From its founding until the present time, the University has added a number of colleges to its corporate and associative body. In 1882 the Manitoba Medical College, which had originally been founded by some practising physicians and surgeons, became a part of the University. Other affiliations followed:

• Methodist Church's Wesley College in 1888
• Manitoba College of Pharmacy in 1902
• Manitoba Agriculture College in 1906
• St. Paul's College in 1931
• Brandon College in 1938
• St. Andrew's College in 1946

Among these colleges, St. Andrew's College where trained the ministry for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada, became an affiliated College in 1981. Furthermore, St. Andrew's College is the first Ukrainian-language college opened by the Orthodox Church in North America. It is home to a large Ukrainian cultural and religious library.

Brandon University is a Canadian university located in the city of Brandon, Manitoba with an enrolment of 3383 (2005) full-time and part-time students. ...

St. Boniface College and St. John's College, two of the founding colleges of the University, are still part of the University of Manitoba. St. Boniface College, the Roman Catholic institution which traces its beginnings back to 1818 and the earliest days of the Red River settlement, is the University's only French-speaking college; it offers instruction in French and facilities for the training of teachers who expect to teach in the French language. St. John's College, which dates back to 1820, offers instruction in Arts and Science and among other special programs prepares men and women for the ordained ministry of the Anglican Church.

The University Today

Thirty-three of the many buildings on the Fort Garry campus of the University of Manitoba are directly used for teaching. Four of these are the homes of colleges: St. John's College, St. Paul's College, St. Andrew's College, and University College. The remaining buildings contain special laboratories, administrative and service offices, residences, or they belong to research agencies.

In a typical year, the university has an enrolment of 24,542 undergraduate students and 3,021 graduate students. The university offers 82 degrees, 51 at the undergraduate level. Most academic units offer graduate studies programs leading to master’s or doctoral degrees.

The university currently holds 33 Canada Research Chairs, is the network leader of one of Canada’s 21 networks of excellence (ISIS Canada) and a participant in 14 others. It is also home to a wide range of research centers and institutes. Within the past decade, Smartpark was established with the assistance of provincial and national governments and is maturing as an environment where collaborations between university and industry enhance the commercialization of new technologies.

Maclean's University Rankings

According to National Post, in early 2006, Maclean's announced that in June, 2006, it would be introducing a new annual issue called the University Student Issue. The issue would feature the results of a survey of recent university graduates from each Canadian university. However, some universities, such as the University of Calgary, McMaster University and the University of Toronto, refused to take part in this exercise. In response, Maclean's sought the results of two university-commissioned student surveys: the Canadian Undergraduate Survey Consortium and the National Survey of Student Engagement. Results from these surveys, along with Maclean's own graduate survey, were published in the June 26, 2006, edition of Maclean's. As of September 2006, 22 prominent Canadian universities have withdrawn from the magazine's rankings, among them the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto, Dalhousie University, McMaster University, the University of New Brunswick, the University of Manitoba, Simon Fraser University, the University of Calgary, the University of Lethbridge, the Université de Montréal, the University of Ottawa, York University, Concordia University, the University of Western Ontario, Queen's University, Carleton University, and the University of Alberta, as a means of voicing their displeasure with the methodology used to determine the Maclean's ranking.
