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 (entirely in French). It is a federated school of Laurentian University.

The university is a member of L'Association des universités de la francophonie canadienne, a network of academic institutions of the Canadian Francophonie.^[1]

History

The university was founded as the Collège du Sacré-Cœur in 1913 by the Jesuits. Exclusively French after 1916, Sacred Heart College was the centre of education for young Franco-Ontarians for decades since it was the first, and for a long time, the only college in Northern Ontario. In 1957, it changed its name and became the University of Sudbury. In 1960, it formed the Catholic component of Laurentian federation. ^[2]

Sacret Heart College
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 centre 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 secondary school here until 1967. Sacred Heart College played a major role in the development of the Franco-Ontarian community of northeastern Ontario.
