In fact, there is room for them at one of Alberta's four public degree-granting universities -- (online and distance education) Athabasca University, established by the province in 1970. We are a public university accredited by the government of Alberta and the Campus Alberta Quality Council. We are also accredited in British Columbia and the only public Canadian university accredited in the United States. Currently, more than 37,000 students are enrolled at AU, the vast majority of whom live, and work, in Western Canada. Indeed, just last week, we were pleased to confer degrees upon 1,588 of our students, who come from every province in Canada and around the world.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F63F26A8-AD9A-4E1D-9B19-688567A5F69E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
