YOUR AMBROSE EXPERIENCE…

Academic Excellence

Know your professors. Not every university can provide the level of personal attention from faculty which Ambrose can. Because classes are small in size, you are invited to be part of the conversation, to explore and offer new perspectives and innovative ideas. You will learn from faculty who are readily available for one-on-one discussions and who are experts in their fields, having researched and published in areas as diverse as:

The relationship between technology and live musical performance

Understanding the molecular controls that modulate proliferation and differentiation in cells

How pluralism and choice are shaping Canadian youth and the future of Canada

The relationship of Aristotle’s Poetics to Shakespeare’s and Jonson’s comedies

Values-based leadership development for businesses and nonprofits

Jesus’ teaching on interpersonal forgiveness

Our Student Academic Success team is also here to help you succeed academically, both as you transition to, and continue on, your university life. The services offered include writing assistance, tutoring support, accessibility services and career counselling.

“ There’s no substitute for small classes. They allow for the digging deep and authentic conversation that are essential to real learning.

Lions Athletics and Campus Recreation

At Ambrose, we’re all Lions. Get in on the action by joining one of our teams in soccer, futsal, basketball and volleyball. In the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC), the Lions’ teams are fierce competition, having won gold in women’s futsal and silver in men’s basketball in 2019/2020. If playing on the team isn’t for you, you can attend the games to cheer on your classmates or get involved with our other campus recreation and intramural activities.

“ The Ambrose community is tight-knit, and living on campus has definitely enriched my first-year experience. Some of my fondest memories are when study sessions turned into deep conversations that ended in prayer. I am so glad that I can be authentic and spiritually supported as I learn.
