At Algoma, you’ll learn from our spirited staff and benefit from one-on-one interactions with professors – that’s the Algoma advantage!
When you look back on your Algoma experience, our hope is that it will be defined by more than what you’ll learn in the classroom – that it will be the shared experiences that shape you, and the creation of bonds that will last.
Algoma University believes that each student brings a unique set of skills and life experiences to the campus community, and that's why Algoma U can't wait to get to know you!
