About Algoma University

Innovative. Intimate. Impactful.

What makes us different is YOU!

The unique life experiences you bring to campus are an essential part of the Algoma difference. Learning is personal here; our intimate scale means every voice is heard and valued. Small seminars, hands-on labs, faculty and staff who care about your goals, innovative programs and research, our special mission of cross-cultural exchange – they enrich every aspect of Algoma life and learning. But the impact is mutual. We can’t wait to learn from you, and with you, because there’s so much more we can achieve, together.
