University of Saskatchewan

Profile

Students at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) have the opportunity to work, study and research alongside world-class faculty in facilities not often found on a university campus. These facilities include the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization and International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac) and, currently under construction, the Academic Health Sciences project, which will bring together the life, animal and health sciences programs in an innovative interdisciplinary environment to better prepare healthcare professionals for their careers.
The U of S offers a wide variety of programming – 58 degrees, diplomas and certificates in over 100 areas of specialization. From arts and sciences to engineering to law to business, the U of S has evolved to become a medical-doctoral institution known for more than farming – although our College of Agriculture and Bioresources is an integral part of our campus. Students and faculty are encouraged to work with one another across disciplines; learning and studying in a collaborative environment that leads to discovery, both personal and academic.
Students looking to get involved outside of the classroom can choose from a broad range of extra-curricular activities. From the well-known Huskie athletic teams that compete in a number of inter-university sports to less formal clubs, there is something for everyone. Those with a more artistic inclination can write, take photos or edit the student newspaper, The Sheaf, or participate in or enjoy the choruses, theatre productions and ensembles on campus. From Welcome Week activities through to the end of the year, there is always something going on at the U of S.
Now into its second century, the U of S is proud to call Saskatoon, Saskatchewan home. A growing city of just over 220,000, it truly embodies the “university town” mentality, with a vibrant arts and culture scene, numerous options for outdoor activities and the welcoming nature of its citizens. The dynamic growth of the city is mirrored in the university’s energy and progress.
