History
Columbian College (Methodist), located in New Westminster, was incorporated in 1893 and was the first institution of higher education in B.C. In 1923, the new Ryerson College took over its theological training curriculum, and Columbian College continued to operate as a residential secondary school and general arts institution. Columbian College was closed in 1936.
