Overview
Newman Theological College is a Roman Catholic school of theology in Edmonton, Alberta, located at 10012-84 Street since relocating there in 2010.
It was established in 1969 by an Act of the Alberta Legislature, founded by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton under Archbishop Anthony Jordan out of the earlier Saint Joseph Seminary, which had opened in 1967 to answer the Second Vatican Council's call for greater lay formation alongside priestly training. Newman has been an accredited member of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada since 1992, and its undergraduate Bachelor of Arts in Catholic Studies is accredited by the Government of Alberta.
The college confers its own degrees, diplomas, and certificates under this dual accreditation, while maintaining an ongoing partnership with Saint Joseph Seminary for the formation of priests. Teaching spans the Catholic intellectual tradition: systematic, moral, and sacred-scripture theology, church history, and religious education, delivered to seminarians, deacons, vowed religious, educators, and lay students preparing for ministry or teaching roles.
Programs range from certificates and diplomas in theology through the bachelor's degree to graduate degrees including the Master of Theological Studies, Master of Divinity, and Master of Religious Education, with doctoral study available through a co-supervised partnership with St Mary's University in Twickenham, London.
Since its founding, Newman has graduated roughly 1,700 students serving across Western Canada and beyond.
