McMaster University | Canada

Founded in 1887, McMaster University owes its origin to the personal fortune of Senator William McMaster, one of Canada's most successful entrepreneurs of the 19th century. Today, McMaster's beautiful, tree-lined campus bustles with more than 17,000 full-time and part-time students and boasts some of the best facilities in Canada, including a new active, real-time stock exchange trading room, a research nuclear reactor, an extensive library system and one of the finest public art galleries in the country. These facilities support a rich variety of programs that have made McMaster one of the top teaching and research institutions in Canada.
