Education for a Better World
The spirit of Booth University College is reflected in our commitment – “Education for a Better World”. As an educational expression of the mission of The Salvation Army, Booth UC teaches students to understand the complexities of the world, to be mindful of Christian faith, to achieve excellence through rigorous scholarship and to become contributors to a better world.
At the heart of Booth University College’s ethos is a set of values that speaks to our belief that we all have ethical obligations to others. We trust that our graduates will be lifetime advocates for poor and oppressed persons, raising hope, social justice and mercy to counter despair, injustice and cruelty.
As Christian educators, we have faith that our graduates will take on the responsibility of leadership, using the skills they acquired at Booth University College to serve locally and around the world and to engage their fellow community members in building a greater capacity for positive social change.
The Road to Booth University College
- 1981: First established as Catherine Booth Bible College, the college originally served as a centre for biblical studies and leadership training.
- 1987-1988: To meet our growing needs, in 1987 we purchased the current seven-story Webb Place building in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada). This new campus opened to students in September 1988.
- 1997: In honour of The Salvation Army’s co-founders, it was renamed the William and Catherine Booth Bible College.
- 2010: We officially became the degree-granting Booth University College we are today.
