Mount Royal University and Royal Roads University have partnered to expand access to graduate education in Alberta. Beginning in Fall 2026, Alberta-based learners enrolled in select Royal Roads graduate certificate programs will complete a required in-person residency in Calgary at MRU. The institutions say that this will reduce the amount of interprovincial travel and expand access to programs. Both MRU President Tim Rahilly and Royal Roads President Philip Steenkamp emphasized the importance of expanding access to graduate education and responding to learner needs.
