There are five universities in Alberta, thirteen public colleges (one of which grants degrees), and seven private colleges (all of which grant degrees). Most private colleges refer to themselves as "university colleges", but are not legally universities, although they grant equivalent degrees. Post-secondary education in Alberta is regulated by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Technology. There are two universities in Calgary: University of Calgary and Mount Royal University (although the University of Lethbridge has a campus downtown as well). Edmonton, the province's capital city, is home to the University of Alberta, the province's oldest and largest university.

In 2009, a bill was passed by the Alberta legislature that allowed the two public colleges that offered degrees (MacEwan College in Edmonton and Mount Royal College in Calgary) to rename themselves universities. Mount Royal College was renamed Mount Royal University on September 3, 2009 and Grant MacEwan College became Grant MacEwan University on September 24, 2009.
