Faculty / Student Interaction
The biggest advantage of smaller classes? More facetime with your professors. That means more one-on-one interactions with the people instructing, motivating, supporting, and celebrating your development.
You’ll receive valuable feedback on assignments allowing you to be the best your can be. By the end of your time at Algoma University, you’ll know your professors on a first-name basis, and they’ll know all of your goals and aspirations. Even better, they’ll help make them a reality by providing assistance during the grad-school application process or providing references for jobs. Our professors are committed to your success well after your years at Algoma U come to an end.
Small Class Atmosphere
Algoma U is the only university in Ontario that caps classes at 75 students.
You’ll never be in a class with hundreds of other students in a big lecture hall; instead, you’ll find most classes have no more than 35 students in them. This eases the transition from high school to university, and helps relieve stress. You’ll be in a setting where you’re comfortable to share your worldviews with others and ask questions. Plus, with small class sizes, there is less lecturing and more discussion. That’s what make our classes student-centered and student-driven.
New SHSM Award Opportunity
The Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) Award is a $500 non-renewable, cumulative entrance award that recognizes recent Ontario Secondary School graduates who have completed any Specialist High Skills Major. The Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) Award will be automatically assessed and no additional application is required.
Transfers & Pathways
Algoma U is committed to ensuring that the transfer from college to university is as seamless as possible. We offer transfer credit with all Ontario colleges to provide college graduates with maximum course recognition for their prior learning experience.
Algoma Connect Program
Helping high school students solve Math problems, big and small, is what we do well. ACP Tutors are offering free, fully online one-on-one mathematics support for Grades 9 through 12.
Dual Credit Program
Grade 11 & 12 students from the Algoma District are invited to apply for the FREE Dual Credit program offered at AU in July 2021. This unique course will be delivered in an online format with many opportunities for experiential learning. Apply by June 22nd!
