“Our vision for Corpus Christi is to be a place of learning, community and dialogue that is accepting of all people on the journeys of life and faith. While our mission is specifically Christian, and grounded in the rich intellectual tradition of the Catholic Church, the word ‘Catholic’ is derived from the Greek word ‘katholikós’, meaning all-embracing and universal.”

— Dr. Peter Meehan, President, Corpus Christi College

“As a result of the small class sizes, there was more time for one-on-one teaching from professors. This meant fostering better relationships with professors, understanding the material better and becoming more engaged in the classroom.”

— Jeffrey L., Corpus Christi alumni (successfully transferred to UBC’s Sauder School of Business)
