Three Hills, AB
Prairie began 86 years ago. Much has changed over the
years, but the mission has remained clear. Having sent more than 14,000
alumni to 110 countries, and occupying a campus which spans more than 40
acres, Prairie now attracts students from more than 20 countries.
Prairie is comprised of three colleges: Prairie Bible
College; Prairie College of Applied Arts & Technology; and Prairie
School of Mission Aviation.
Prairie Bible College began in 1922, and is
Canada’s oldest Bible College. It specializes in training qualified
and effective workers for churches and other Christian ministries –
both at home and around the world.
It offers accredited Bachelor of Arts programs in a
variety of areas, including Youth Ministry, Pastoral Ministry, Worship
Ministry and Intercultural Studies. Prairie also offers experiential
one-year programs, within a wilderness or intercultural context.
Prairie recently opened the first college in Canada
created to deliver two-year vocational programs in conjunction with
Christian higher education.
Prairie College of Applied Arts & Technology
offers Practical Nursing, Health Care Aide, Early Learning and Child Care
(ECE), and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) programs.
Coming soon are programs in land and water resource
management, disaster response and communications. Students graduate with a
two-year Associate of Arts, which contains courses in Bible and theology,
as well as a provincially recognized diploma in their chosen vocational
field from a partnering college.
In a recent audit Transport Canada indicated that our
aviation students score higher on their flight tests and written exams,
compared to students at other Transport Canada licensed facilities across
the nation. Our desire is to continue to offer excellent mission aviation
training. To ensure this, the program is now offered through the newly
created Prairie School of Mission Aviation.
