At Manitoba we require history of thought at the honours level as a
requirement for an honours degree.  Anyone entering the PhD program
is required either to have honours level history or thought and
at least one course in economic history, or if the student doesn't
have them on entry, must take one full year of history of thought and
one full year of economic history.  We, therefore, offer history of
thought at the 4th year honours level every year, and a graduate
course every other year.  But then we also teach graduate and
honours level theory courses in alternative macro (post Keynesian and
Marxian) and alternative micro (Marxian and Neo-Ricardian).  In
all these various courses, the classics are read in the original.
