Why SJC?
In Catholic teaching, each person possesses an inviolable dignity and an innate goodness that reflects their being created in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:26-27). In keeping with this, SJC sees each as a unique individual with unique gifts as well as needs. Located in the centre of the main University of Alberta campus, SJC offers all the benefits of a small college experience, such as small class numbers, combined with all the advantages of being associated with one of the top universities in Canada. We support students in their development as whole people by offering university credit courses that explore the unity of faith and reason. Additionally, we provide a safe, inclusive community through our residences and worshiping community.
At St. Joseph’s College, students are empowered to ask big questions, build lifelong relationships, and develop a faith that is authentic and personal. They go out into the world equipped with the tools and vision to contribute to the common good.
Our Mission
