School Description

Bishop's University was established in 1843 as Bishop's College. The period between 1958 and 1978 saw major changes and growth to the college. The department of Business Administration is established in 1958, and a year later, that campus added two new facilities, the John Bassett Memorial Library and the Mackinnon Hall residence. In 2006, BU opened the Astronomical Observatory which will help enhance the students learning experience.

Bishop's University has a total of 2,738 bachelor's degree seeking students, with international students coming from 52 different countries. BU has a 550-acre campus that includes 25 buildings, seven residences, two libraries, and many more leisure and academic facilities. Some of the activities that students can engage in on campus includes 10 tennis courts, a golf course, and a recreation center that is fitted with three gyms.

Master Programs

  • 2600 Rue College, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 1Z7, Canada

    Chemistry

    USD 18,000 Tuition Fee

    The Chemistry Department has an excellent set of modern instruments (e.g. 400 MHZ NMR), computers, and other equipment which are used by undergraduates in their laboratory courses and in research projects. This is in contrast to large universities where many instruments are reserved for graduate students only. Students at Bishop’s learn much from their extensive use of modern instrumentation and equipment, and benefit greatly from this knowledge in future employment and graduate studies.

            Go Gaiters!

            Waking up in the morning to the sound of the squirrels and go cross country skiing before the sun starts shining... what else....

            Fantastic undergraduate experience

            I completed two degrees over a 5 year period at Bishop's and could not have been happier with the quality of education I received. The small size ensures that, if you want it, professors have time to dedicate to you. They want to see you succeed and I remember 6am meetings with some profs to review materials before exams!

          • Testimony
            1993-1997, BBA

            I love my Alma mater.

            An academic and social experience that is unparalleled in Canada. Going to Bishop's was one of my best decisions of all time.
