The University of Alberta has had the vision to be one of the world's great universities for the public good since its inception. This university is dedicated to the promise made by founding president Henry Marshall Tory that knowledge shall not be the concern of scholars alone. The uplifting of the whole people shall be its final goal. This vision endures as the university strives to improve the lives of people in Alberta, across Canada, and around the world.
North Campus (original): Located in the province's capital of Edmonton, on the edge of the North Saskatchewan River valley, the campus covers about 50 city blocks, with abundant green spaces among its 150 buildings.
South Campus: Much of the university's agricultural research in areas such as food safety and crop use for food and industrial products takes place at the Edmonton Research Station. A prominent sight on this campus is the Saville Community Sports Centre, a 32,516-square-metre, multi-use recreation centre that is home to 14 varsity athletic teams, several community sports clubs, and the Canadian women's national basketball team.
Augustana Campus: An hour's drive from Edmonton in the rural community of Camrose, Augustana Campus offers degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences in an intimate residential learning environment. Specializations include a signature outdoor education program, nationally competitive sport programs, and international study opportunities.
Campus Saint-Jean: "The U of A en francais"-is a one-of-a kind gem in the heart of Edmonton's francophone community a short shuttle ride from the North Campus. A French-language campus, Campus Saint-Jean offers degree programs in arts, commerce, education, engineering (first year), science, nursing, and conservation and environmental sciences, as well as master's programs in education and arts.

However, we welcome students of any faith background and our students and faculty come from roughly 50 denominations. We pursue faith-inspired learning: ours is a supportive yet challenging learning environment in which students can pursue their academic interests and prepare for their careers while also exploring and deepening their faith. By integrating faith and advanced learning, we provide an outstanding university education that's rooted in the Christian intellectual, theological, spiritual, and missional traditions. We encourage students' personal and spiritual formation, and we make space for students and faculty to explore and express their faith through everything they learn and teach.
