History
History
Canadian Mennonite University was incorporated as Mennonite College Federation in 1998, through the amalgamation of Canadian Mennonite Bible College (founded in 1947), Concord College (founded as Mennonite Brethren Bible College in 1944), and Menno Simons College (founded in 1988). A fourth college, Steinbach Bible College, was also involved, but later withdrew. In 2000, it opened a new campus in Winnipeg, composed of the campus of Canadian Mennonite Bible College on the south-west corner of Grant and Shaftesbury and the former campus of the Manitoba School for the Deaf. In 2003, it was renamed Mennonite University of Canada. In 2009, Canadian Mennonite University opened a new Menno Simons College campus on Portage Avenue. In late 2010, a science laboratory was constructed and in 2011 the Redekop School of Business was opened. In 2025, it announced that it would offer free accommodation to first-year students. For the academic year 2024–2025, it had 630 students.
