Established in 1964 (when three century old founding colleges joined with a new college of arts and science), the University of Guelph is a vital community of more than 15,000 students on a campus of historical and modern buildings, and red brick walkways. The University has won national and international recognition for its high quality teaching and research, as well as its outstanding facilities.
The University of Guelph is a research intensive, learner centred community, and is ranked as the top comprehensive university in Canada by Maclean’s magazine. It offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in the arts and humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Building on these core disciplines, it also has a strong commitment to interdisciplinary programs, to a selected range of professional and applied programs, and to agriculture and veterinary medicine as areas of special responsibility.
