When Mount Royal first opened its doors more than 100 years ago — Sept., 1911 — it welcomed 179 students. Today, some 12,000 credit students take a variety of programs and courses including bachelor’s degrees, applied degrees, university transfer courses, diplomas and certificates. The courses offered have changed over time, but Mount Royal's focus remains the same — providing you with quality teaching and small class sizes. Experience has also taught Mount Royal the importance of preparing students well for life after graduation. That means practical and current information, as well as hands-on learning through work placements, practicum and co-op education.
Quam bene non quantum: our motto, and Latin for “how well, not how much.” Since our beginnings more than 100 years ago, we’ve been committed to quality post-secondary education. Mount Royal has transformed since then, but some things will never change. We remain committed to providing intellectually engaged learning opportunities in classes led by passionate professor.
From the time of our first campus — affectionately known as “the barn” — to today's high-tech university grounds, environmentally-friendly buildings and diverse educational offerings, Mount Royal has continually embraced change to meet the needs of the people and community it serves. Our facilities and programs have expanded greatly since our 1910 founding, but our purpose remains the same — to provide personalized learning that fosters the success and satisfaction of our students.
In providing an exceptional undergraduate educational experience, Mount Royal University cultivates student academic, personal and professional learning experiences. Fostering comprehensive post-secondary learning means two things: creating an environment with accessible academic and personal learning resources for all students, and connecting students to these outstanding opportunities.
We are looking to you, and others like you, who believe in the value of education. Supporters who desire to make a difference in the lives of our students and community understand that an education is not just about getting a job — it's also about creating an outstanding learning experience and becoming the engaged citizens we encourage all of our students to be.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
So far pathetic experience applied for open studies, now I get told "waiting on a descision." Pretty good grades from the colleges I attended, and a 3.67 grade point average when I graduated from high school. Will be looking into going to another University.

Best years of my life. Started in brand new Faculty of Science in fall of 2008 and loved every day I was there. I graduated in 2015 and have missed MRU and my professors so much! My mom passed away at the end of a semester in 2010 and the registrar's office and my professors were very understanding and compassionate when I had to withdraw with cause just before finals. I was given the opportunity to write a final exam two months later and I repeated my courses the following semester. In 2014 I was quite ill and was easily able to communicate with the profs and arrange for alternate exam dates. They were all very kind and accommodating. Loved the small campus and class sizes, got to know the instructors very well, and they would always remember my name even years after I was in their class! I made good use of the U-Pass and never had to pay for parking, haha! Great school, so many fond memories, definitely check it out. Faculty is top notch!

a great free place to take the kids the education and staff are pretty great too. The mru library has a free public toy library and there is a small Dinosaur museum. Other great aspects are the great food choices and the student centers in upper whycham hall , the alternative cafeteria. all the places to sit and all the art on the walls AND the beautiful gardens to admire in the warmer times of the year makes this a very very beautiful school to choose.

Great facilities, saltwater pool, large and varied climbing wall, full gym with free weights, racks, and machines, lots of treadmills and bikes, indoor track, squash and basketball courts.

Best facility in town for the price. And if you are a family member of a student it's only 8 bux. The pool is so nice and always has a lane free. If you want to avoid the dbags, you can use equipment on the upper floor by the running track.

An excellent post-secondary experience. It has an amazing recreation facility, state of the art conservatory, and a brand new library. Also beautiful scenery to boot!

Great campus. Lots of programs for people of all ages. Public speaking courses are great for children. You can also enroll yourself in music classes. There are also youth orchestras that practice and perform here. There are quiet study spaces that the public can utilize.

At Mount Royal University in Alberta, the educational experience is truly transformative; the dedicated staff empower students to excel, and I've witnessed remarkable growth in my child, making me proud every step of the way.
