Laurentian University was once only a regional school serving Sudbury, and while it still serves the area well, it has grown into an international leader in niches such as stressed watershed systems, rural and Northern children’s health, particle astrophysics, as well as mining, engineering, and environmental remediation. Laurentian University offers more than 175 undergraduate and graduate programs, and as it is a bilingual institution, 800 course sections are offered in French.

Located on a 765-acre campus, the university is surrounded by five lakes, a boreal forest and nature trails. Laurentian University’s main campus, an eight-minute drive from downtown, is attractive and welcoming. It’s near a beach that students can visit in the summer, and outdoor rinks, where they can knock around pucks during the winter.
