More than 100 years ago, William Booth – the
great social reformer who founded the Salvation Army – dreamt of
creating a ‘university of humanity.’ In 1982, William and
Catherine Booth College was founded, to help fulfill that dream.
The education we offer here is shaped by Booth’s
values: concern for our fellow human beings, Christian faith, the power of
the mind to transform our society, the necessity of rigorous study –
and the need to bring hope, social justice and mercy into the world.
We are now working in a new way to fulfill
Booth’s vision, by redesigning our offerings – and
becoming a ‘Christian university college of choice.’ What does
this transformation mean?
We will continue to provide education in Religion and
Christian Studies, Social Work and Extended Learning. But to these we are
adding new degrees on a redesigned university degree platform.
Our new degrees will meet accreditation standards for
university-level degree provision in Canada, at both the provincial and
national level. This is our commitment – to provide you with a high
quality Christian university education.
In the next year, new degree programs will be
established in Behavioural Science and English/Film Studies, with others
soon to follow. New faculty are being hired, programs are being designed
and implemented, and a new Booth experience being imagined.
As we move forward, a new generation of Booth
graduates will emerge to serve the world in many professions, within the
church and society.
