At Algoma's Sault Ste. Marie campus you benefit from small classes, strong scholarships and individual attention, and as a public-university degree the program keeps you eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit after you graduate.

Beyond subject knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork, research and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and set you up for long-term success in Canada and around the world.
