Laurentian to expand French-language programming

Laurentian University will expand its French-language programming in the new school year – starting in September 2016 – with three bachelor’s degree programs in engineering and a French-language bachelor of business administration.

The Bharti School of Engineering will launch bilingual degree programs in chemical,. Mechanical and mining engineering.

The Faculty of Management will offer its business administration program entirely in French, along with seven specializations in the areas of accounting, business, entrepreneurship, finance, international management, marketing and human resources.
“No Canadian university has won the Canadian Mining Games more often than Laurentian University.

Last year, our students in the Bharti School of Engineering took first place at both the provincial and national engineering competitions; in 2011, they won NASA’s Lunabotics competition,” said Laurentian president and vice-chancellor Dominic Giroux, in a press release.

“As for our Faculty of Management, it is working towards several international accreditations. It was an obvious choice to include these disciplines in the expansion of our French-language programming at Laurentian University.”
