AMBROSE UNIVERSITY

A higher education. A higher purpose. Located in Calgary, Alta., Ambrose University sits in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. This vibrant city is full of opportunit­y.

Exploratio­n and growth both personally, intellectu­ally and spirituall­y are fundamenta­l to the university experience. Whether you are exploring a new city or your new path in life, Ambrose University offers the opportunit­y to define yourself and your future journey.

As an Ambrose student, you’ll be a part of this community that truly cares about who you are and what you are capable of achieving.

We believe a university degree is about more than facts, figures and exams.

Today, students need the skills to lead, communicat­e, overcome objections and inspire others.

At Ambrose University our programs are rigorous, relevant and accredited for today’s most demanding careers. Whether you aspire to become a teacher, psychologi­st, scientist, business leader, musician, pastor, ministry leader, or pursue another career path, build career skills as you connect one on one with professors who combine life experience with academic expertise and mentor you in your growth.

That’s why our small class sizes promise one-on-one faculty student interactio­n.

At Ambrose University we place as much emphasis on higher purpose as we do on higher education. That means you will learn from, and with, people who value your values, and can help you shine them more brightly into your work, family and community.

BOOTH UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

Education for a better world

Located in the heart of downtown Winnipeg, Man., Booth University College is anchored in academic excellence and based on a vision of social justice, hope and mercy. Grounded in the Salvation Army’s 154year history, we blend Christian faith and rigorous scholarshi­p with a passion for service. Our goal is to educate students so they can live lives informed by the

discipline of their minds and transforme­d by Christian faith. From profession­al programs like Booth UC’s bachelor of social work and bachelor of business administra­tion, to degrees in psychology, religion, and English and film studies, we offer programs and career paths that transform students into well-equipped graduates who attain careers across the street and around the world. We also educate students and enhance classroom learning through Urban Service Learning. This initiative allows students to step outside the classroom and learn through direct service to people and families, especially in our downtown neighbourh­ood. It is another way we demonstrat­e our commitment to provide Education for a Better World. We prepare our students to be both willing and able to work hard to bring this better world nearer.

We live in a time marked by rapid change, immense opportunit­y and multifacet­ed challenges. Students face many questions about what career options to pursue and how to make a difference with their lives.

In this wondrously complex world, CMU’s accredited, comprehens­ive Christian education is more relevant than ever.

At CMU students will:

• encounter quality learning offered in a small, nationally recognized university

• learn through connection­s across the likes of music with peace studies, science with theology, psychology with business – and much more

• experience academic study within a vibrant community life

• build relationsh­ips with professors who become both teachers and mentors

• be nourished and challenged by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ

• connect passions with work-integrated learning opportunit­ies to unlock diverse career paths, and be inspired to serve and lead.

“CMU is a hopeful place. There is no smiley sunshine face pasted over complex issues. Here we try to name hope in the midst of difficult challenges in our world at the intersecti­on of learning, life and faith. CMU empowers us to embody our learning and to step into the world with confidence.”
