Mount Royal University (MRU) is a public university in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

History

Mount Royal University was founded in 1910 following a charter by the Alberta provincial government.[4]

Mount Royal became a post-secondary institution in 1931 as Mount Royal Junior College (MRC) offering transfer courses to the University of Alberta and later to the University of Calgary.[5] In 1972 Mount Royal moved from several buildings in downtown Calgary to a new campus in Lincoln Park on land previously used as an air force base.[6] A war memorial honour roll is dedicated to Mount Royal alumni who have volunteered for active service in the Canadian Forces.[7]

Mount Royal University was granted university status in 2009 by the provincial government.[8] The university currently offers 12 degrees and 32 majors with an average class size of 29 students.[9]

In 2017, Mount Royal University was awarded the Ashoka Changemaker Campus designation joining 44 universities which are leading higher education in the area of social innovation and changemaking.[10]
