Laurentian University of Sudbury | Canada
Laurentian University of Sudbury (Université Laurentienne), founded in 1960, is a mid-sized bilingual university in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. While Laurentian's focus is primarily on undergraduate programs, the university also features Canada's newest medical school — opened in 2005, the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, in consortium with Laurentian and Lakehead University, offers a significant number of graduate-level degrees for medical students.
Laurentian is the largest bilingual provider of distance education in Canada. Laurentian University's campus is located on the south side of Lake Ramsey, just south of Greater Sudbury's downtown core and near some of the city's wealthiest residential neighborhoods. The city's Idylwylde golf course also borders on the university campus.
