Established in 1975, St. Stephen’s University is a graduate school of theology, peace and reconciliation, offering master’s degrees and graduate certificates through an innovative hybrid-distance delivery model that combines online courses, short intensive on-campus residencies, and travel-study opportunities. The Mission of SSU is to prepare people, through academic, personal, and spiritual development, for a life of justice, beauty, and compassion, enabling a humble, creative engagement with their world. We seek to serve students with opportunities for academic excellence, creative and integrated thinking, spiritual formation, and global exposure, with the flexibility to earn a degree while remaining faithful to their family and career obligations. 

SSU is chartered by the Province of New Brunswick as a private Christian university, which we have interpreted through our shared vision of “engaging and reconciling communities through a relational, contemplative, and transformative university education.” We aspire to practice our faith identity in alignment with our Mission's values of justice, beauty, and compassion, rather than denominational categories or doctrinal conformity. Our faculty, staff and students express these values with conviction and freedom, inclusion and generosity. We aspire to challenge colonizing and exclusionary bounds of Christendom and set an open table where all are welcome.
