In 1843 the founders of Bishop’s University declared their intention “to offer to the country at large the blessing of a sound and liberal education.” Today our goal remains the education of individuals, primarily at the undergraduate level, to develop their talents and realize their leadership potential. Intellectual achievement is crucial to our mission and thus the University promotes academic excellence through an emphasis on teaching enriched by scholarship and research. The Bishop’s experience begins with close interaction between professor and student but extends beyond the classroom to provide the basis for critical thinking and effective communication, while also fostering community spirit and lasting friendships. Located in the bilingual setting of the Eastern Townships, Bishop’s offers students from Quebec, Canada, and the International community the opportunity to exercise the rights and responsibilities of good citizenship and to engage in the tolerant and informed dialogue that sustains democracy.
