Relax. St. Stephen’s University is a place where you can be who you really are, where you can discover more about what you’re good at and what makes you tick. Explore your mind, your heart, your faith, and how you relate to people. Grow your communication skills, your critical thinking skills and your people skills. Come to SSU and find more of the confidence you need to enjoy your life.
Your life’s journey really switches gears after high school. Life at SSU is like a pilgrimage, a journey with a purpose, and we invite you to join us as we journey together, seeking justice, beauty and compassion. Come and build your life on these foundations. Find friends to share your life with, and travel the world together – students at SSU tour a dozen countries with their whole class.
Your world is only as big as you make it. SSU will widen your horizons, broaden your worldview, and quite literally expand your world during two whole terms of world travel. You’ll experience Europe and Asia first-hand, absorbing their unique cultures and appreciating their diverse people. Come see the world with us, deepen your understanding and widen your worldview.
St. Stephen’s University is the smallest university in Canada, only accepting up to 30 new students each year. This allows us to create a totally unique learning community in which everyone knows each other, and professors share daily life with students. Instead of being anonymous in a large university, at SSU we’ll get to know you. You can come as you are and figure out who you want to be – we welcome students from a wide variety of backgrounds and stages in life’s journey. We believe that as we live and journey together, finding beauty in ourselves and others, together we will grow in maturity.
Most other universities are about programs, facilities and knowledge transfer; our aim is to create a caring, accepting environment that helps build a strong foundation for independent adult life. We can do this because we are a small university where nobody gets lost in the crowd. In this kind of environment, we believe that students are much better prepared to learn and excel academically, partly because of our outstanding faculty and unique pedagogy, and partly because we can actually get to know each individual student and how they learn best. This allows us to provide a rigorous academic experience for each student, preparing them for their career or for further study.

We are a Liberal Arts university centred around a Christian community; we aren’t like Christian universities that have quite strict rules and entry requirements, with statements of belief to sign and services to attend. We try and create an environment where everyone is free to think and make decisions for themselves, respectful of everyone else in the community. We love to learn from each other as we share daily life in a big old hotel.
And then of course there’s the travel. Rather than sticking you in a foreign country for a while, charging you big bucks and calling it a travel program, we travel the world together. You and your whole class will travel with your professors for 6 weeks in Asia and another 7-8 weeks in Europe, in two separate travel terms. For full credit! And all for only $1000 more than a standard term in St. Stephen!

I absolutely love this University. Its the place where you get small classes; along with great lectures. Its honesty, the coolest experience.

The depth of character I see in SSU graduates each year is truly inspiring. I am forever more impressed with the level of engagement students have in social justice issues. No matter how students enter the big yellow building, rest assured they will leave as deep-thinking world changers.

The University for small classes and higher learning. If this sounds good to you. Then stop by the web site.

St. Stephen's University is incredible - unlike any university I have come across before. They have the most amazing travel program - you get to visit 12 countries during your degree, and you travel with your whole class! It also has a small community feel, where everyone knows each other and everyone is included and accepted. A far cry from the public university I attended where NONE of my professors knew who I was. SSU has very small class sizes, and your professors become your friends. It's amazing. If you're thinking about doing a broad Arts degree that keeps your career options open, you should check out SSU.
