History

Wesley College, established in Winnipeg, Manitoba has a strong Methodist religious affiliation. Consolidation was a way to strengthen this small and financially insecure institution. The University of Manitoba was established in 1877 by combining 3 existing church colleges St. Boniface College Roman Catholic; St John's Anglican and Manitoba College Presbyterian. Wesley College Methodist was affiliated in 1888, eleven years after the founding of University Of Manitoba.

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.

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.
