Although having not yet secured provincial funding, the Université de Sudbury has pushed the “green button” and announced a series of French-language programs that will be offered locally in partnership with the University of Ottawa starting in fall 2025.
Université de Sudbury has been working on its next steps since 2021, when the insolvent Laurentian University terminated its agreement with the three federated universities operating on campus, which previously offered courses for LU degrees. Université de Sudbury will offer a series of programs in four major areas, said a press release. Other programs will follow.
“Well, there’s a huge need for teachers, right, and they need a first degree and they need their teachables. So this is building back the teachable pool. So that's one element that we were able to anchor it on. Sudbury.com reached out to the Ministry of Colleges and Universities on the Université de Sudbury’s latest announcement.
