Laurentian University (French: Université Laurentienne), officially Laurentian University of Sudbury,[1] is a mid-sized bilingual public university in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, incorporated on March 28, 1960.[2] Laurentian offers a variety of undergraduate, graduate-level, and doctorate degrees. Laurentian is the largest bilingual provider of distance education in Canada.[3] The college was formerly federated with Thornloe University, Huntington University, and the University of Sudbury. Laurentian severed the federation during 2021 insolvency proceedings, ending 60-year relationships, and triggering lawsuits. [4][5][6]
