At the core of Mount Royal's identity lies a deep commitment to teaching and learning.
Recognizing the crucial role of teaching excellence and innovation, ongoing efforts are directed towards building upon successes and raising the standard in this important area.
MRU regularly assesses student perceptions using data from the Canadian University Survey Consortium (CUSC), the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), and student perception of teaching on campus. Over the last decade, the results have consistently shown high scores, with students acknowledging their professors' expertise, finding teaching intellectually stimulating, and expressing overwhelming appreciation for the personalized approach.
Driven by a collective passion for teaching and learning, the campus community, including students, staff, faculty, and administrators, is committed to making Mount Royal University a focal point for an exceptional educational experience.
Community Service Learning (CSL) remains key to this experience. We invite you to learn more about this high-impact practice here.
