Located at the crossroads of French and English Canada in the heart of Ottawa, Ontario (the national capital), it has made a unique place for itself among Canada's leading universities. Its campus provides a great setting for the exchange of ideas and promotes cross-pollination of knowledge and cultures. Originally a liberal arts college, it has been teaching pure and applied sciences in both French and English since the 1800s.
Its nine faculties offer an array of first class undergraduate and professional programs in a wide variety of disciplines:
- Administration
- Arts
- Education
- Engineering
- Health Sciences
- Law
- Medicine
- Science and
- Social Sciences.
Masters and doctoral degrees are also offered in most disciplines by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. The U of O offers the second-highest number of doctoral programs in Ontario. The U of O houses Ontario's second-largest graduate studies and co-operative education programs.
The academic and other needs of about 25,000 students are facilitated by a fully bilingual support staff and programmes that include everything from physical resources security to health, sports and teaching and learning support services.
