About

As an English-medium institution, CMU offers undergraduate degrees across the arts, sciences, and business, all framed by an ethos of community engagement, sustainability, and global justice. While small, the university warmly welcomes international students from around the world, integrating them into its tight-knit residential campus culture where cross-cultural dialogue is central to everyday learning. The International Student Office provides personalized support with immigration advising, academic counseling, and social programming to help newcomers adjust to Canadian academic life and Winnipeg's multicultural community. A distinctive characteristic of CMU is its mandatory "Practicum" program for all undergraduate students, which combines hands-on, community-based service or professional placement with classroom learning, allowing international students to build practical local experience before graduation.
