Laurentian University
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Laurentian University (Université Laurentienne), founded in 1960, is a mid-sized university in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, approximately 400 km north of Toronto. While LU's focus is primarily on undergraduate programming, the university does offer a limited number of graduate-level degrees. It is the largest bilingual provider of distance education in Canada.
The university has great ties with the mining industry, being one of the few schools in Canada offering mining engineering and the only Canadian university located in a city where the major industry is mining. The Willett Green Miller Centre, a provincial building located on the site, is home to MIRARCO. The Mining Innovation, Rehabilitation and Applied Research Corporation is a not-for-profit applied research and technical service company formed through collaboration between Laurentian University and the private and public sectors.
The university is also a key partner in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO), the world's deepest underground laboratory that has been providing, since 1998, new clues on the composition of the sun and the origins of the universe.
In 2004, the University along with Lakehead University formed the Northern Ontario Medical School.
