The institution moved from its original location near the U of A to its present location on 23 Avenue in 1968. With the help of the alumni association, a 28-acre campus was purchased, and a major building program was carried out in 1968, including an administration building, two dormitories and the Student Union Building, at a cost of over $1,000,000. The institute was renamed North American Baptist College and endorsed by the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges the same year. On July 29, 1988, the college signed an affiliation agreement with the University of Alberta, which remained in place for a number of years.
An accredited "university college" began offering undergraduate programs in 2002, and the school changed its name to Taylor University College and Seminary. The undergraduate programs were ended in June 2009. [2] Taylor Seminary continues to operate, and the E P Wahl Centre began offering non-credit educational programs in 2008–2009; a Conservatory of Music was added in 2010.
In 2010, a large portion of the campus was sold and is now home to CDI College.
A history of Taylor was written by former president J. Walter Goltz in 2009, titled For God and Truth. An addendum to that book (For God and Truth: An Update), covering the recent changes at the institution, is available online.
