Fall 2021 Viewbook - Bishop's University

Bishop’s is a different kind of university.

Since 1843we’ve been the smallest of Quebec’s English universities and one of the most intimate university environments in all of Canada. We have plenty of red brick and ivy. We know tradition and prestige. We know academic rigor. We believe in engaging and dynamic classes. Pro- fessors who know your name. Students who get involved. School spirit. A genuine sense of community and belonging. A family. A family of more than 19,000 proud alumni that have come before you who have also left their PURPLE mark. The Bishop’s learning model starts with a small group and a question. With approximately 3,000 students, we offer some of the smallest class sizes in the country and the most personalized education available. You want to get to know your professors. No problem. You will not be a num- ber here. We will not let you. We listen. We debate. We push students to expand their horizons. We examine issues from various angles. We believe in interdisciplinary study, and in gaining a broad foundation of knowledge about the wider world. Our students are empowered to deal with complexity, diversity, change and adaptability. Choosing to study at Bishop’s means, you are seeking an educational experience and a way of learning that is going to be unique, exceptional, personal and transformational. It is said that Bishop’s is a place to start things. Whether that is starting a new student club, an entrepreneurial venture, a social awareness cam- paign, a personal goal, or simply to start a new adventure, no matter what it is, our inclusive and supportive environment, ideal location, institutional values, ethos and leadership are here for you to explore and utilize. Above all else, we are a community. Acommunity of scholars. Acommunity of leaders. A community of change-makers. A community of colleagues. A community of friends. We are family and we are there for one another.
