Many people talk about how going to university on the west coast is beautiful because of its scenic campuses, but soon enough, Ontario might be able to compete.
The University of Niagara Falls Canada announced on Monday that they will be ready to welcome students in 2024, following the Ontario government's approval.
Officials stated that "The new university will provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the 21st-Century workforce," and that the university will also give people in Ontario "major economic and employment benefits."
"Thanks to the hard work and support of the Government of Ontario, as well as Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati, students from across the country will soon call our university and the City of Niagara Falls home," said Cyndi McLeod, Board Director for the University of Niagara Falls Canada and CEO of Global University Systems Canada, in a press release.
"This is a massive windfall for the City of Niagara Falls," Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati said. "If there was one thing on my bucket list that we had still yet to do in a big way in our community, it was this."
The university, described as "delivering world-class, digitally-minded education," can be found in the city's downtown core and will open its doors in 2024.
You will be able to enrol in "distinctive" undergraduate and graduate programs, including "emerging technology, data analytics, business and digital media." Class sizes will be small and offer students "first class" support.
The University of Niagara Falls Canada, has received consent to offer the following five programs:

Additionally, the university will have multiple intakes each year to help students "mix work and study to suit their personal circumstances."
