2. Brandon University

Brandon University was established as a Baptist college in Manitoba, as the region's missionaries and settlers felt the need for a denominational college for the youth to study. Brandon College began primarily as a liberal arts college with theology courses and a high school department. The school of music was opened in 1906 and gained nationwide recognition for its courses. Even today, Brandon University has one of Canada’s best conservatory departments. The university stopped being a denominational college in 1938, but the local community helped to keep the college open. The institute expanded its degree offerings over the next few decades, becoming Brandon University in 1967.
