University profile
Huron University College is a small liberal arts university in London, Ontario, and the founding college of Western University, with which it is affiliated; graduates receive a Western University degree. It was incorporated on May 5, 1863 as Huron College and took its present name in June 2000. Its stated mission is to engage the world as an academic community of "Leaders with Heart", founded on intellectual rigour, a belief in the common good and civic engagement.
The 42-acre campus at 1349 Western Road sits beside Western's campus, with a short walk to the Western Community Centre and Weldon Library. Huron deliberately limits enrolment and specialises in selected programs, with an average class size of 21 students and discussion-based teaching. Every student is guaranteed a paid internship opportunity through the Career Development Centre, and students may take up to 40% of their courses from the roughly 400 programs offered at Western.
Undergraduate study is organised in the Faculty of Arts and Social Science, which includes Economics, English and Cultural Studies, French Studies, Global Great Books, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Jewish Studies, Chinese and East Asia Studies, Japanese and East Asia Studies, Governance, Leadership and Ethics, and Animal Ethics and Sustainability, and the Faculty of Management and Organizational Studies (business). The Faculty of Theology offers Religion and Theology and graduate and professional master's degrees. Huron has partnerships with the Ivey Business School and Harvard Business School Online, and first-year students enter a general program in one of the program areas before specialising.
Student life includes more than 200 clubs, athletics, volunteering, student governance roles and an orientation week. Four residences (O'Neil/Ridley, Hellmuth, Southwest and Burnlea Hall) house students, with live-in student staff known as dons, and a Burnlea dining hall with an all-you-care-to-eat meal plan. Wellness services and career and leadership programs include the Nation Builder Program, the Career Accelerator Program and the Centre for Entrepreneurship.
International students are admitted from Canada and many other countries; an International Welcome Week is held in late August, and an English-language pathway through the Western English Language Centre is available for admissible applicants who need it.
