Queen's College is an Anglican theological college in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, affiliated with Memorial University.
Queen's College was established in 1841 as The Theological Institute by The Right Reverend Aubrey George Spencer, who was appointed in 1839 as the first Bishop of the Diocese of Newfoundland. His successor, The Right Reverend Edward Feild, re-established the Institute in a new building and named it Queen's College in honour of Queen Victoria and The Queen's College, Oxford, his alma mater. The Corporation of Queen's College is composed of thirteen individuals.
Queen's College is a Christ-centered, Spirit-filled theological college rooted in the Anglican tradition. Its prime purpose has been to offer training leading to ordination, and it has since expanded its programs to include persons who wish to pursue the study of theology without seeking ordination. The college's philosophy includes the goal of developing theological reflection and wisdom pertaining to responsible life in faith. It is jointly governed by the three Anglican dioceses of Newfoundland and Labrador through a governing board called Queen's College Corporation.
The college offers Master's, Bachelor's, Diploma and Certificate programs designed to support individuals preparing for both ordained and lay ministries. Flexible full-time and part-time study options are delivered both on campus and through distance learning. As a Faculty of Theology, it provides learning, teaching and research in the academic setting of a Christian faith community. It is incorporated under an Act of the Provincial Legislature, which grants it authority to confer degrees in theology, and while affiliated with Memorial University it is self-governing. It is one of only two degree-granting institutions in the province, the other being Memorial University.
Queen's College is located at 210 Prince Philip Dr. in St. John's, NL. Listed facilities include a Theology Reading Room, an Apartment, a Chapel, and a College parking lot. The college's phone number is (709) 753-0116.
