[edit] History
St-Boniface College has a strong Roman Catholic religious affiliation.[1] It originates from a school for boys founded in 1818 by Monseigneur Norbert Provencher. It was incorporated into its current form in 1871.
Consolidation was a way to strengthen this small and financially insecure institution. The University Of Manitoba was established in 1877 by combining three existing church colleges: St. Boniface Roman Catholic, St John's Anglican, and Manitoba College Presbyterian.[1]
In the early part of this century, professional education expanded beyond the traditional fields of theology, law and medicine. Graduate training based on the German-inspired American model of specialized course work and the completion of a research thesis was introduced.[1]
The policy of university education initiated in the 1960s responded to population pressure and the belief that higher education was a key to social justice and economic productivity for individuals and for society.[1]
By 2002 the college population was about two-thirds female.[citation needed]
[edit] Academic
It has about 1,000 regular students and 3,000 in its continuing education division, who study in the main building which is located right next to St. Boniface Cathedral, and a block away from Boulevard Provencher, the street located in the middle of St. Boniface and at the heart of the Franco-Manitoban community.
[edit] Partnership
The Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface is a member of L'Association des universités de la francophonie canadienne, a network of academic institutions of the Canadian Francophonie.[2]
[edit] Aboriginal
The Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface’s Canada Research Chair on Métis Identity provides research into Aboriginal culture.[3]
