While The University of Winnipeg received its charter in 1967, the institution's
roots stretch back more than 145 years to an era of unprecedented growth and
energy that gripped Winnipeg at the turn of last century. In 1938, Manitoba College
and Wesley College joined forces to become United College, founded on the ideal
that faith and politics can intersect to create lasting social change.
Today, UWinnipeg's vibrant urban campus — located on Treaty No. 1
land, in the heart of the Métis homeland — is home to approximately 14,000
students, faculty, staff, and researchers. With an interdisciplinary approach and
undergraduate studies in arts, business and economics, education, kinesiology
and applied health, and sciences — along with graduate programs; an English
language program; Professional, Applied Continuing Education; and The Collegiate
high school — UWinnipeg is a place that attracts and nurtures a rich diversity of
learners who are ready to make a real world impact.
The University of Winnipeg is committed to advancing reconciliation and is
noted for academic excellence, Indigenous inclusion, environmental commitment,
small class sizes, and campus diversity.
