About University of Guelph:

The University of Guelph (U of G) was established in 1964 after the amalgamation of the Ontario Agricultural College, the Macdonald Institute, and the Ontario Veterinary College. The University now consists of seven colleges: the College of Arts, the College of Biological Science, the College of Business and Economics, the College of Physical and Engineering Science, the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences, the Ontario Agricultural College and the Ontario Veterinary College. The University has a regional campus in Ridgetown, Ontario, and offers diploma and degree programs in Toronto at the University of Guelph-Humber.

U of G is home to 21,960 full-time and 2,219 part-time undergraduate students (including Guelph-Humber and regional diploma programs), and 1,544 full-time and 156 part-time graduate students. The University's faculty to student ratio is 1:22. Thirty-eight of the University’s programs have a co-op stream, providing students with the opportunity to gain relevant work experience while completing their degree.
