BRESCIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

Brescia University College is Canada’s only women’s university. The University was founded in 1919 by the Ursuline Sisters, strong women of faith committed to social justice, community service and the development of women. While our roots are in the Catholic faith, we are open to, and embrace, women of all faiths and backgrounds. For over a century, the university experience at Brescia challenges students to lead with wisdom, justice and compassion. The student-centred institution is committed to educating women through preparing its students for life-long leadership. Brescia has an average class size of 29 students, a 14:1 student/faculty ratio and an emphasis on academic excellence.
