Since I began as Mount Royal’s ninth president in August, 2011, I have been impressed by the close connection Mount Royal has with Calgarians at all stages of their lives. For more than 60 years, Mount Royal has met the educational needs of lifelong learners through innovative, relevant and diverse programs. Many of these programs are developed with industry and business partners, and all are taught by experienced professionals.

These Continuing Education and Extension courses take place in the newest buildings on our Lincoln Park Campus, each designed with students in mind. Technologically advanced classrooms, ample breakout spaces and lounge areas for group projects all contribute to the learning experience and to the success of our students.

This is an exciting time to be at Mount Royal University, as we begin our second century as leaders in post-secondary education. Our Continuing Education and Extension courses offer limitless possibilities, and I am confident you will find the course that’s right for you.

David Docherty, PhD President, Mount Royal University
