At Wilfrid Laurier University, we’re all about community. We care about the different stories and backgrounds that make us all unique, and we see community as the thread that ties us all together. Bring your culture and unique identity to your university education – all while you experience Canadian traditions and culture. For more than 100 years, Laurier has been a premier destination for students who excel outside the classroom as much as they do inside it. Our students use their university experience to build knowledge and experience that improves society, so that they can make a difference in their communities. Laurier is inspiring the world’s future leaders, researchers, business owners and changemakers. Laurier has been transitioning from a primarily undergraduate university to a mid-size research university. In the 2022 Maclean's magazine survey of Canadian universities, Laurier was ranked seventh out of 15 Canadian universities in the magazine's comprehensive university category.
