McMaster University
McMaster University
Founded in 1887, McMaster University owes its origin to the personal fortune of Senator William McMaster, one of Canada's most successful entrepreneurs of the 19th century. Today, McMaster's beautiful, tree-lined campus bustles with more than 17,000 full-time and part-time students and boasts some of the best facilities in Canada, including a new active, real-time stock exchange trading room, a research nuclear reactor, an extensive library system and one of the finest public art galleries in the country. These facilities support a rich variety of programs that have made McMaster one of the top teaching and research institutions in Canada.
Our innovations are many: the first medical school to train doctors using small-group, problem-based learning; 'theme schools' that promote in-depth interaction of students and faculty across the disciplines; and programs that stress critical thinking and problem-solving skills to give our graduates an edge in the emerging knowledge-based, global economy. It's no wonder McMaster has earned a reputation as one of Canada's most innovative universities.
