About the university
Ambrose University is a small private Christian university in Calgary. It was formed in 2007 when Alliance University College and Nazarene University College merged, and its roots go back to the Calgary Bible Institute of 1921. It teaches arts and sciences, business, education and theology (through its seminary) on one campus in southwest Calgary, with views of the Rocky Mountains.
For Indian students, the most relevant options are its business degrees, including the four-year BBA with streams in accounting, business intelligence and analytics, human resources and marketing, and its four-year psychology degree. Ambrose publishes a single international tuition rate per credit, so costs are easy to plan.
