Uniquely personal.
You’ll feel it right away – the intimate, close-knit connections. Here, academic excellence is personal. Small seminars, hands-on labs, faculty and staff who care about your goals, innovative programs and research, our special mission of cross-cultural exchange – they enrich every aspect of Algoma life and learning.
We celebrate the values, personalities, and convictions that make each of us unique. The life experiences you bring to campus are an essential part of the Algoma difference too. Be immersed in diverse world views. Our Special Mission – a commitment to cross-cultural learning between Anishinaabe communities and the world – combined with the international profile of our students, global reach of our exchanges, and deep community partnerships gives our grads invaluable leadership advantages too.
Our Thunderbird – a timeless symbol of strength and resilience – is a constant reminder of the impact we can have… together.
