The Collège Universitaire de Saint-Boniface, or CUSB, is a university college affiliated with the University of Manitoba and located in Saint Boniface, Manitoba. It is oriented primarily towards the French-speaking community of St.-Boniface and others who want to learn, or be educated through, the French language and Franco-manitoban culture.
It originates from a school for boys founded in 1818 by Monseigneur Norbert Provencher, though by 2002 the population was about 2/3rds female. It was incorporated into its current form in 1871. It has about one thousand regular students and three thousand in its continuing education division, who study in the main building which is located right next to the St.-Boniface Cathedral, and a block away from Boulevard Provencher, the street located in the middle of St.-Boniface and at the heart of the Franco-manitoban community.
