Past Luther Lecturers

Did You Know?

Luther College offers the best of both worlds: a smaller college environment with all the benefits of a larger university.
It pays to go to Luther College. Literally. Luther students are eligible for an additional $100,000 in scholarships, in addition to all of the awards available to them as U of R!
Luther College opened the first residence on campus in 1971, and is still a “home away from home” to students: meals, laundry, and lifelong friendship included.
Luther students can register in Arts, Science, or Media, Art, and Performance degree programs. Luther students are U of R students and receive a U of R degree.
Luther College at the University of Regina participates in Admission on the Spot events - campus tours, reduced application fees, and the relief of finding out you're accepted to your program right away!
Luther College offers year-round campus and residence tours as well as one-on-one enrollment counselling.
Every single degree program at Luther College offers an optional experiential learning component; gain real world experience and get paid while you go to school!
Luther College welcomes students of all faiths, ethnicities, backgrounds, religions, genders, and sexual orientation.
