Profile

Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) is a Christian university, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Chartered by the Province of Manitoba in 1998, CMU builds on a foundation of over fifty years of Mennonite higher education in the province, combining the resources of three former colleges: Canadian Mennonite Bible College, Concord College, and Menno Simons College.

CMU offers a variety of academic programs and a choice of educational settings, which include CMU (Shaftesbury Campus), Menno Simons College (on the campus of The University of Winnipeg), and an eight-month study, service, and travel program called Outtatown Discipleship School.

Menno Simons College (MSC) operates as a college of CMU, in affiliation with The University of Winnipeg, on the campus of the latter. MSC coordinates two programs that are fully integrated into the curriculum of The University of Winnipeg: Conflict Resolution Studies, and International Development Studies. Students can choose a four-year or a three-year major in either field, or an Honours B.A. in International Development Studies.

The Outtatown Discipleship School provides intensive, experiential, cross-cultural, off-campus programs. In its eight-month program, students spend the fall semester at various wilderness and inner-city locations within Canada, and then, during winter semester, students travel either to Guatemala or to South Africa. In its four-month program, students begin their experience and study in Winnipeg’s St. Boniface, then travel for a few more weeks to Montreal, then to Paris, and finally to locations in West Africa.

CMU (Shaftesbury Campus) offers a residential setting on about forty-four acres in the southwestern part of Winnipeg. It serves a growing student body of over 500 students, of diverse backgrounds, from across Canada and around the world.
