On the Campus of Ambrose Seminary

Calgary, Alberta

Through our agreement with Ambrose Seminary in Calgary, we offer our students the opportunity to complete the Providence Master of Arts in Counselling program without relocating from Alberta.

Although Providence distance education courses are available, we encourage students to take Bible and Theology courses at Ambrose Seminary. The counselling courses are presented in modular format by the counselling faculty of Providence at the Ambrose Seminary campus in Calgary. Students also have the option to complete some courses on-line. Dr. Rodolfo Nolasco and Dr. Sharon Habermann are the resident Providence professors in Calgary.

The M.A. in Counselling degree can be completed in four semesters by a full-time student. Because of the modular format, part-time study options are also available.
