Profile

St John's College is a small, Anglican College located on the University of Manitoba campus in Winnipeg, Canada . St John's College was officially opened by Bishop Robert Machray on November 1, 1866 but the College's roots lie in the early years of the Red River Settlement. St John’s College is a small college situated on the north perimeter of the University of Manitoba’s Fort Garry campus. Students who enrol at St John’s College receive full credit from the University of Manitoba for all their courses, and have the additional opportunity to study and interact with faculty and other students in a community setting. The courses taught in the college are part of the University of Manitoba degree programs. St John’s College is governed by its own Council and Assembly, but in all academic matters other than the Theology program, the College is subject to the regulations of the Senate of the University of Manitoba. Students do not have to be Anglican to attend the College, nor do they have to take part in religious activities at the college.

Areas of Expertise

St. John's College features the Diploma in Applied Theology. This diploma will help students establish a learning base for their roles within the ministry.
