Whole-person education for your whole life CMU helping prepare students to tackle today’s most pressing issues

A t CMU, education is about more than acquiring knowl- edge — it’s about building practical skills and cultivat- ing wisdom. Intellectual growth is woven together with hands-on experience, spiritual reflection, moral courage, and emotional insight. Students are challenged to ask not only what they want to do, but who they want to become. This holistic approach extends across every academic program at CMU from business to music, biology to education, social work to communications, and beyond. It prepares CMU students to tackle today’s most pressing issues. At CMU, ideas are explored in community; that’s what sets the learning experience apart. As a small university with an average class size of 18 students, students engage daily directly with class- mates and professors with perspectives, and practise the art of di- alogue — with humility, curiosity, and respect — in ways that are not done elsewhere. That same spirit extends beyond the classroom — and now, CMU is taking that commitment even further. CMU is now offer- ing free double-occupancy dormitory housing to every first-year undergraduate student, starting in the fall of 2026. Student data
is clear: students who live and learn together thrive academically. And by lifting the cost of first-year housing, CMU gives every new student a financial head start that strengthens their path forward. Because whole person learning includes connecting knowledge with practice, work-integrated learning placements link academic learning with practical application for every student. The first of its kind in Canada, CMU’s WIL network today spans 50 countries and six continents. CMU sets every student up for their first job or next academic pursuit and prepares them for success throughout their entire career. CMU holds a high bar for academic excellence, offering seven different degrees and 29 majors, combining rigorous standards with strong student supports and a network of invaluable connec- tions rooted in community. Guided by a mission that integrates intellect and spirit, charac- ter and competence, career and the common good, CMU prepares graduates to engage the world with clarity, generosity and resilience. They step forward ready to engage the world — atten- tive to the needs of others and grounded in a deep commitment to hope. n
