Saint Paul University (French: Université Saint-Paul) is a Catholic Pontifical university federated with the University of Ottawa. It is located on Main Street in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and is entrusted to the Congregation of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. The enabling legislation is a civil charter passed by the government of the then-Province of Canada in August 1866, and a pontifical declaration promulgated by Pope Leo XIII on 5 February 1889. Like the University of Ottawa, Saint Paul University is a fully bilingual institution, offering instruction in English and French.
The university currently houses four faculties: Human Sciences, Philosophy, Theology and Canon Law. Within these faculties are housed programs in 19 disciplines, ranging from the undergraduate to the doctoral level. Such disciplines include: Anglican studies, biblical studies, canon law, canonical practice, conflict studies, counseling and spirituality, Eastern Christian studies, ecclesiastical administration, ethics, group facilitation, ministry, pastoral theology, philosophical theology, philosophy, public ethics, religious education, social communications, spirituality, and theology.
The Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in Eastern Christian Studies, including the Eastern Orthodox, non-Chalcedonian, Assyrian, and Eastern Catholic churches.
Saint Paul University offers education for both the laity and candidates for ordination in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Eastern Catholic Churches. The Bachelor of Theology and Master of Pastoral Theology (similar to the Master of Divinity) are the standard ordination-track degrees.
The university is a member of the Association of Colleges and Universities of the Canadian Francophonie, a network of academic institutions of the Canadian Francophonie.
