University of Sudbury

The University of Sudbury is a Roman Catholic bilingual university in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada which offers courses in French and English. Programs include religious studies, philosophy, Indigenous studies, and folklore. It is a federated school at Laurentian University.

The Society of Jesus opened a classical college at this site in 1913. The next year the province granted Sacred Heart College a charter giving it degree-granting powers. At first, the college was bilingual, but after 1916 it taught exclusively in French. Sacred Heart College became a center for the education and formation of young Franco-Ontarian men.

In 1957, it changed its name to the University of Sudbury, which became the Catholic component of Laurentian University, in 1960. The Jesuits continued to teach in the secondary school here until 1967. Sacred Heart College played a major role in the development of the Franco-Ontarian community of northeastern Ontario.
