A College Major is a cluster of at least four (4) courses from three or more disciplines related by a common theme taken by students over several semesters. College Majors are open to students from most programs offered at Vanier. A major receives certification only within Vanier College and thus does not appear on any official Department of Education documentation. On graduation from the College, students will receive a Ministry diploma in the program in which they are registered plus a certificate from the area responsible for the major. At present, Vanier College offers majors in Jewish Studies, Quebec/Canada Studies, Slavic Studies, and Women’s Studies. SLAVIC STUDIES STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The Slavic Studies program is designed to introduce the student to the vast and varied regions of Eastern Europe. Particularly in this era of great transformations, familiarity with the Slavic world will benefit those students interested in journalism, politics, business, government service, languages, and the arts. You can earn a major in Slavic Studies while fulfilling the regular requirements of the program in which you are registered. Without taking any more courses or credits than you would normally, you can simply choose among the courses listed below. All are related to the Slavic World.
