Whether you aspire to ministry, a corporate career, a trade, or life as an entrepreneur, Prairie College has you covered with a variety of programs, all soaked – not sprinkled – with the Bible. Infuse your career with Biblical wisdom under the direction of our world-class faculty, while immersed in our close-knit community.
Each program at Prairie is designed with the purpose of combining Career training with a Biblical foundation. 4-year degree earners will study the entire canon over 7 courses during their time at Prairie.
Our campus community is a place for students to grow, learn and build life-long friendships. Each student is a part of an Impact group (small group) of intentional discipleship. Prairie is a place where you feel supported by staff and fellow students who are invested in your growth.

We have launched our Campaign for Greater Impact to provide students with the very best learning opportunities and campus facilities for the decades ahead.
In Phase One of this Campaign, we plan to invest in much-needed campus renewal, including: upgraded Infrastructure, a new Student Residence, Cafeteria, Worship Auditorium, and expanded Aviation Training Centre. A modern campus requires an investment that is bold, and even expensive, but each Campaign Project is strategic, and designed to enhance Prairie’s campus and student life experience.
This expansion of PATC’s facility is a key project of Prairie’s Campaign for Greater Impact. It will increase the College’s capacity to train a new generation of Christian aviators to serve God in missions, and also address the growing need for trained pilots in the commercial aviation sector.
Invest in the next generation of missional professionals. Each year Prairie College distributes over $500,000 in scholarships and bursaries to students. We are grateful for each gift that reduces the burden of students’ tuition and allows students to fulfill their God-given professions.
Encourage inmates in five institutions across Alberta to discover or reconnect with Jesus Christ. This fund assists the students studying the Certificate in Bible program with scholarships, resources for classes, and instruction.
Prairie College is educating students to pursue a Biblical foundation for life and career. Your contribution to this fund assists in minimizing the College’s general operating expenses.

In addition to the regular Admissions requirements, students in our music program must have raw musical talent. In order to assess this, we ask applicants to submit 1-2 video demos featuring a cover of a song you like or a song that moves you (with PDF chord chart). We don’t require a complex multi-camera edited film – a simple and clear video shot with a smartphone works well. Make sure your camera device is stable (preferably on a tripod or still surface) and close enough for good, non-distorted audio and clear video. The audition demos can be uploaded to YouTube, Dropbox, or e-mailed to Admissions.
