Mennonite Studies at The University of Winnipeg is an interdisciplinary program examining the history, social relations, religious ideals, and culture of the Mennonites, including their evolution from sixteenth-century Anabaptist communities to a globally dispersed people. Coursework, delivered through small classes and seminars, covers themes such as pacifism and nonviolence, migration, gender and society, and Mennonite communities in Canada and internationally. The program is structured as a flexible major leading to a three-year Bachelor of Arts degree; students majoring in another subject may instead add a Minor in Mennonite Studies. Students interested in graduate study can apply to the Joint Master Program in History for a Master of Arts with a focus on Mennonite History, with two graduate fellowships available in the history of Mennonite culture and society. The program is relevant to work or further study in multiculturalism, immigration, ethnicity, and peace and conflict studies; past students have gone on to work as teachers, archivists, historians, and community organizers. Admission follows The University of Winnipeg's general entry requirements, with no specific high school courses required.
