The same institution bean offering non-religious courses in 1914 under the name Waterloo College School. Ten years later, the Waterloo College of Arts was formally created, and was soon affiliated with the University of Western Ontario.
Waterloo College became Waterloo Lutheran University in 1960, and it became a full university in 1973, finally taking the name Wilfrid Laurier University. In 1999, Laurier opened a second campus in Brantford, Ontario. Soon after in 2006 they moved the Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work to a new campus in downtown Kitchner. As recently as 2008 Laurier began preparations to build yet another campus in Milton, Ontario in partnership with Conestoga College.
Wilfrid Laurier University today is home to more than 17,000 undergraduate students and a further 1,500 graduate students. It is in mid transition between its former status as a primarily undergraduate university to one of the more significant research universities in Ontario.
