Laurentian University, also called Université Laurentienne, was incorporated in 1960 in Greater Sudbury in Ontario. However, its history goes back to 1913, and the founding of the Jesuit Collège du Sacré-Coeur. The Collège began granting undergraduate degrees in 1957.
It took on the name of Laurentian University and its officially non-denominational character in 1960. Classes were held in the Collège du Sacré-Coeur’s old facilities, as well as at several Sudbury locations until a purpose-built campus was completed in 1964.
An additional campus opened in 2001, in Barrie, Ontario. However, this facility was operated in partnership with Georgian College, and Laurentian was to pull out of the arrangement as of May 2019.
Laurentian University today is still primarily focused on undergraduate studies, though its School of Graduate Studies and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine offer many graduate and professional level programs. It is also the largest English/French bilingual provider of distance education in the country. Their latest addition was the Northern Ontario School of Architecture in 2013.
