The University of Windsor (UWindsor) was founded in 1857 and is a comprehensive, student-centered university with over 16,000 students enrolled in a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs, including Law, Business, Engineering, Science, Education, Nursing, Human Kinetics, Social Work, and the Faculty of Art, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
UWindsor is near to North America's busiest international border crossing and overlooks the Detroit River, which is one of Canada's most picturesque waterfronts. Windsor is also Canada's southernmost city, with some of the nicest weather in the country. This site reflects UWindsor's strength as an internationally oriented, multi-disciplined school that actively supports a diverse range of students, teachers, and staff in their efforts to improve the world via education, scholarship, research, and participation. Our knowledgeable professors bring a wealth of real-world experience to their lectures. Co-ops, field placements, internships, and research opportunities provide an intriguing blend of experiential learning outside of the classroom. There are also numerous student groups, service opportunities, and leisure activities.
In September 2015, the University of Windsor began classes at the first phase of its downtown campus in the heart of Windsor's center, ushering in a new era. The School of Social Work and the Centre for Executive and Professional Education are housed in the new facility, which has the historic facade of the former Windsor Star newspaper building. The School of Creative Arts and the Alan Wildeman Centre for Creative Arts are part of the second phase of the downtown campus, which is housed in the century-old Windsor Armouries. The University of Windsor's essential features of openness, kindness, and support make it a particularly inviting environment for students and professors from Asia, Europe, and Africa—or from right across the street.
