The University College educates students to understand the complexities of our world, to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be active contributors to society, and to know how Christian faith compels them to bring hope, social justice, and mercy into our world. An Urban Campus The campus of Booth University College is located in downtown Winnipeg, a city of over 700,000 people. We think this is a good thing for the University College, for our students and for the city and here are some reasons why: The City as Campus The city makes a great campus, from the cafés and shops around the corner, to the art galleries and cinemas down the street. Within a few blocks of the University College are beautiful river walks at the Forks, the Centennial Concert Hall, the Manitoba Legislature, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the MTS Centre arena, Portage Place Shopping Mall and trendy Osborne Village. Within a short distance are the Polo Park Shopping Centre and many of the city’s parks. Our students attend symphony concerts, plays, exhibits, hockey and football games and much more. All this is within easy reach of the University College. Literally, the city is our campus! The City as Learning Place Winnipeg is a diverse, multi-cultural city with large Indigenous, European, Asian, African and Latin American communities. Cities are a dynamic context in which to live, work and serve. In an increasingly urban and multi-cultural world, living and learning in the city is in itself an important part of a Booth University College education. The City and Service Just as there is a diversity of cultures and opportunities in the city, so too is there a diversity of needs. The rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, the content and the lonely all live and breathe in the heart of the city. There are great opportunities here for students to impact the lives of those around them and the University College is engaged in bringing learning and service together. Students volunteer in churches, in parachurch, public and private agencies, and are involved in field education placements in which there are many opportunities to serve others. Our History and Wesleyan-Salvationist Heritage Booth University College is owned and operated by The Salvation Army. This means that the ethos of the University College is shaped by the Army’s commitment to the historic Christian faith and its deep involvement in ministry in the world; that the University College is rooted in the Wesleyan theological tradition that couples holiness of life with an ecumenical embrace of other Christians; and that the University College is linked to The Salvation Army internationally and seeks to serve in that global context. The establishment of a Salvation Army university for training men and women in the science of humanity was proposed by its founder William Booth at the beginning of the 20th century. However, throughout the Army’s first century there was no such centre of higher learning devoted to the sciences and humanities. In response to the initial vision of Booth, Commissioner John D. Waldron and others of the Canada and Bermuda Territory of The Salvation Army announced on February 16, 1981 that it would establish a college in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Major Earl Robinson was appointed to coordinate a Task Force charged with the establishment of the College and the development of an educational program open to Christians of all denominations and directed particularly to the education of lay persons. Early in 1982, The Salvation Army purchased a building in downtown Winnipeg as the site for its new College. This building was intended to be a temporary facility. The dedication of the building took place in conjunction with The Salvation Army’s Centenary Congress conducted in Winnipeg in June 1982. That same month Major Earl Robinson was appointed the first President of the College. It was decided that the institution would be called Catherine Booth Bible College, named after the co-founder of The Salvation Army. Catherine Booth Bible College received its first students in September 1982.
