History of Redeemer University
As early as the mid-1950s an attempt was made to begin a university institution with a Reformed perspective in Ontario. However, it was not until early 1975 that a detailed investigation was undertaken by a feasibility study committee. The result of that investigation was the establishment of the Ontario Christian College Association which came into existence on November 13, 1976.
Mission (Purpose):
Preparing students to reflect the love of Jesus Christ in every career and calling.
Vision:
- Minds renewed
- Lives transformed
- World redeemed
What do we offer?
Our academic programs in the fine arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences, as well as in business and teacher education, are taught in the context of a commitment to a comprehensive vision of Christ’s lordship and redemptive work. We seek to give expression to this commitment in all the programs and support services of the university.
Small classes and a low student-faculty ratio allow students to be mentored by faculty. Experiential and cooperative education programs enrich the educational experience, while off-campus programs allow students to experience different cultures. Professional and dedicated staff encourage student development in a variety of co-curricular programs.
