A bharrachd air an sin, tha dà cheum BA Gàidhlig eile gan deasachadh le speisealachadh ann an ceòl tradaiseanta agus cultar dualchasach agus bidh iad rim faighinn, an dèidh dearbhaidh, bhon t-Sultain 2000. Tha Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, tron amas aige a bhith coileanadh miannan luchd na Gàidhlig, tron phàirt a tha e gabhail ann an Oilthigh na Gaidhealtachd 's nan Eilean, agus tro cheanglaichean le ionadan eile, am beachd sreath de stuth-ionnsachaidh a dheasachadh a ghabhas togail thar an Eadar-lion. Bidh an leasachadh cudthromach seo a' dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil cùrsaichean rim faighinn fad is farsaing sa Gaidhealtachd, 's na h-Eileanan agus nas fhaide air falbh.

A number of exciting and pioneering academic initiatives are being developed for implementation within the next academic year.
A Gaelic access course, aimed at complete beginners and delivered through distance learning, will be piloted from September 2000. It is intended that this innovative language course, utilising a combination of on-line learning materials, audio cassettes, CD Rom with tutor support and short periods of college-based activity, will bring students to a level of competence in Gaelic which will allow access on to first-year degree courses at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig and other UHI centres. The existing Gaelic and Related Studies Scheme is being extended for academic session 2000/2001, with an honours year for the existing B.A. degrees in Gaelic Language and Culture and Gaelic with North Atlantic Studies currently being prepared for validation. In addition, two further B.A. Gaelic degrees are being developed with specialisms in Traditional Music and Material Culture and will be available, subject to validation, from September 2001.
Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, through its mission to meet the learning aspirations of the Gaelic community and, supported through its active participation in the University of the Highlands and Islands project and links with other agencies, is planning to develop a range of learning materials for on-line delivery. This important development ensures that courses are more widely available within the Highlands and Islands and further afield.
