History of Enrichment Studies

Enrichment Studies was originally established in 1987 as the Department of Enrichment Studies with its main objective being to introduce potential recruits to Queen’s University through the offering of an Enrichment Mini-Course program (E=mc²) to high school aged students. The idea was to attract gifted students to Queen’s who might not otherwise consider university level studies, or who might be financially constrained.

In 1997 the department was taken over by the Department of Continuing and Distant Studies. With the growing popularity of the E=mc² program, the SEEDS, SEEDS-in-Residence and ABC programs were introduced at the request of several school boards. The Enrichment Studies Unit was revived in 2001 and falls administratively under the Dean of Arts and Science.
