The University of Guelph-Humber was the first in Ontario to offer an opportunity to earn both a university honours degree and diploma in four years of full-time study in one location when UofGH opened its doors in 2002. Years later, what continues to make UofGH unique is the integration of theory and workplace experience in all its programs. A collaboration between the University of Guelph and Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning, UofGH was founded on the principle of integrating experiential learning opportunities into the traditional academic curriculum.
The university offers various programs in the disciplines such as business, health, education, media studies, psychology etc. With only 4,900 students at the University, students will be a part of a close-knit group of students, staff and professors. The average class size is 49 students. They will be recognized on campus and welcomed. Because the University is located on Humber’s North Campus in Toronto and it share facilities with Humber, students are part of a larger community of 20,000 Humber students.
The University of Guelph-Humber and Humber College are located within the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Known as Adoobiigok, the “Place of the Black Alders” in the Mississauga language, the region is uniquely situated along the Humber River Watershed, which historically provided an integral connection for Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples between the Ontario lakeshore and the Lake SimcoeGeorgian Bay regions.
