Admissions American Students Since 1922, Prairie has been welcoming students from the United States while doing everything possible to ensure a smooth transition to the "Neighbor to the North". This page contains much of the information students will need as they begin planning. USA Admission Procedures Students graduating from Grade 12 in the United States of America are eligible to apply for admission to Prairie. High school graduation with a minimum of a “C” average is required. Although not required, students are encouraged to submit SAT or ACT scores to be considered for admission. Students in good standing at a college or university in the United States are also eligible to apply for admission and may receive transfer credits. Home-based or home-schooled students should complete our Admissions Profile for Home-based Learners. Applying online is easy and free of charge. Visit our Application Page for complete details. If you'd like to contact someone in person, please click here to contact Hasan Aziz, Admissions Counsellor for American Students.
Why Study in Canada? Canada is a mosaic of cultures and backgrounds from every corner of the World. It's no wonder 130,000 foreign students choose Canada for their post-secondary education. At Prairie, we're committed to building a passionate body of Christ and whether you are looking at Prairie Bible College, Prairie College of Applied Arts & Technology or Prairie School of Mission Aviation, we don't believe that it has to cost a fortune. At about $3500 USD* / semester for tuition, we are committed to students being able to complete their studies with as little debt as possible (*depending on the exchange rate). Important Facts for American Students
Important Immigration Information U.S. Citizens studying in Canada are required to obtain a study permit. If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not need to apply at a Canadian Consulate; instead, you will simply obtain a Study Permit at the Canadian port of entry (border crossing or airport) when you enter. Accepted students must be prepared to present: • Acceptance letter; • Immigration letter (sent upon acceptance); • Valid Passport • Proof of sufficient funds for one year (a bank cheque [not a personal cheque] or statement, Prairie account receipt, or a letter from your sponsor on official letterhead stationery). Canadian Immigration charges $125.00 (subject to change) for Student Authorization documents at the border. Students thinking about attending for more than one year should apply for a multi-year program to avoid paying this fee more than once. U.S. students are permitted by Canadian Immigration policies to work on our campus during their time of studies. If you (or your spouse) would like to seek employment on our campus during your stay at Prairie, you will need to notify the Canadian Immigration Officers at the border. Please make sure that when obtaining your Study Permit, you make mention of your desire to work on campus. If you have any questions concerning this process contact the Admissions Office at 1-800-661-2425. Health Insurance In accordance with the Canada Health Act, Alberta has a publicly administered and funded health care system that guarantees Albertans receive universal access to medically necessary hospital and health care services. All American students will have access to this free Alberta Health Care Service and will register during Orientation Week.
