Calgary college gets an upgrade
Calgary’s Mount Royal College officially became Mount Royal University on Sept. 3, offering new opportunities for students but straying from the old college mandate of helping out students who didn't do well in high school.
“Mount Royal has gone through a 20-year transition from a conventional community college with a direct employment-related program base, to a more academically rigorous mix of applied degrees and university transfer programs,” said David Hyttenrauch, president of the Mount Royal Faculty Association.
