University of Guelph

Overview

The University of Guelph is ranked as one of Canada's top comprehensive universities because of our commitment to student learning and innovative research. The University community also shares a profound sense of social responsibility, an obligation to address global issues and a concern for international development.


Education on the Guelph campus has a long tradition, beginning over one hundred years ago when the Ontario government purchased a five hundred-acre farm from Frederick William Stone for its new School of Agriculture. In this promising location, the Ontario School of Agriculture opened its doors on May 1, 1874.
