Wilfrid Laurier University - Brantford

Brantford, Canada

For more than a century, Laurier has been known for academic excellence. But we’ve also been dedicated to the philosophy that our students’ success is measured through more than grades – it’s based on the quality of the lives they lead, and those they inspire. Laurier’s two campuses are in Waterloo and Brantford, but we also have a Faculty of Social Work in nearby Kitchener and a weekend MBA program in Toronto. In all, we have 19,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Kitchener-Waterloo, with a population of about 350,000, is small enough to be safe and easy to navigate but large enough to offer great art, music, restaurants and other big-city amenities. With the university's size, Laurier is large enough to provide various clubs, programs, and career opportunities; yet small enough to maintain the tight-knit community feel, outstanding student experience and to ensure access to faculty and resources available on campus. Our small class sizes allow more opportunities for extra help, increased discussion and student involvement. But no matter where you study at Laurier, you’re a Golden Hawk, which means you’re part of a tight-knit, supportive community that knows how to aim high, work hard and take advantage of some truly amazing opportunities to make a difference. Why Wilfrid Laurier University Wilfrid Laurier University is devoted to excellence in learning, research, scholarship and creativity. It challenges people to become engaged and aware citizens of an increasingly complex world. It fulfills its mission by advancing knowledge, supporting and enhancing high-quality undergraduate, graduate and professional education, and emphasizing co-curricular development of the whole student. Our commitment is to justice and sustainability now and in the future, so we strive to ignite the minds, spirits and hearts of our communities through excellence in teaching and learning, in the discovery, scholarly exploration, and application of new ideas, and in instilling the courage to engage and challenge the world in all its complexity. In-class learning is only part of the educational equation. Putting knowledge to work in the world is a hallmark of the Laurier experience. Integrated and engaged learning opportunities such as co-op work terms and community service are designed to help students relate what they learn in the classroom to what they experience outside of it, then coming full circle by bringing their real-world experiences back to the classroom. It’s about forming a foundation of service that our students continue long after graduation. Our innovative programs in arts and social sciences, business and economics, music, science, social work and education cover a broad spectrum. At their heart, though, they reflect a common purpose: Laurier’s determination to address global social, health and environmental problems and advance creative pursuits. Application Fee Notice: Please be aware that the application fees are subject to change depending on program level, portal used, previous post-secondary education, and number of OUAC applications.

Wilkes University

Wilkes-Barre, USA

Founded in 1933, Wilkes University is a private, co-ed, comprehensive institution. The university is located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Wilkes University has about 2,500 students on campus, so students get to know their classmates by name. And they’ll receive personalized attention from their professors, not a glance from a graduate student in a 500-seat lecture hall. Wilkes offers big opportunities. They are the only university of their size to offer the broad mix of professional and liberal arts programs that they do. Students will have the opportunity to choose from numerous majors across six different schools. In addition to bachelor degree programs, Wilkes offers master's degree programs. Wilkes believes in hands-on learning. Lectures and study groups are vital parts of the college experience, but the Wilkes faculty wants students to put that book learning to good use. At Wilkes, students will have the opportunity to work side by side with their professors, gaining research experience as an undergraduate that students at other schools can’t even think about until grad school. Wilkes encourages a balance of academic and athletic excellence, while the Division III season also gives students the time to participate in other co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities. Speaking of other activities, Wilkes has more than 100 clubs and organizations on campus. So whether the student is an all-star forward or a comic book aficionado (maybe both), they’ll have plenty of opportunities when they’re not hitting the books. One of Wilkes' greatest assets is the quality of their people. Their faculty and staff are committed to student success both in and out of the classroom. Need to get in touch with a professor? Students are likely to have their cell phone number. Looking for an internship? The director of cooperative education will strive to make the internship experience a perfect fit. Stressing about finals? Tony in the cafeteria is sure to notice and is more than willing to help with a smile and some words of encouragement. At Wilkes, they’re committed to students, and that commitment doesn’t stop when the workday ends. Why Wilkes University Location : Wilkes-Barre is located in Northeastern Pennsylvania, on the western edge of the Pocono Mountains Region. It is the county seat of Luzerne County and has a population of about 50,000 people. Campus Facilities : The campus encompasses thirty-five acres and includes eight academic buildings, 20 residence halls, nine administrative buildings, the Eugene S. Farley Library, the Henry Student Center, Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House, Sordoni Art Gallery, and more. Student Population : Wilkes' enrollment includes about 2,000 full-time undergraduate students from 19 states and a dozen foreign countries. The average class sizes are: freshmen classes, 24 students; upper-level classes, 16 students; graduate classes, 9 students. Hands-on Experience : 100% of students participate in research, internships or capstone projects.
