The U Of S Advantage
Affordable tuition, diverse program selection, excellent research opportunities, an amazing campus, awesome athletics, great clubs and organizations, and successful alumni all over the world, combine to make the University of Saskatchewan one of the best places in the world to work and to study.
A Beautiful Campus... 
The University of Saskatchewan is widely renowned for its striking collegiate
gothic architecture. With its traditional greystone buildings, majestic elm trees
and magnificent river view, the University of Saskatchewan is one of Canada's
most beautiful campuses.
Expanding And Enhancing Facilities...
State-of-the-art Laboratories, Lecture Theatres And Classrooms, And World-class
Research Facilities -- The University Of Saskatchewan Has Welcomed Some Major
Construction Projects Over The Last Several Years And The Ground Breaking Continues.
The Chemical Engineering addition to the Engineering building is expected to
be completed in May 2002. A pilot plant that allows simulation of processes
used in industry is a major element of this addition.
Already under construction, the elaborate 1924 collegiate gothic style Thorvaldson
Building's Spinks Addition will house the Departments of Computer Science and
Chemistry. Another component of the project -- the Thorvaldson Annex -- will
create space for, among others, the Saskatchewan Structural Science Centre.
The College Building, designated both a National Historic Site and Provincial
Heritage Building, is a premier example of collegiate gothic architecture. Partial
funding has been secured to restore this cherished campus landmark to its former
glory.
Construction
of a new three-story Kinesiology Building is underway -- expected to be ready
for teaching, research, recreation and athletics by August 2003. Features include
state-of-the-art research facilities, a triple gym with seating for 2,500, an
elevated walking and jogging track, renovated and expanded locker and shower
areas to serve both the new building and the existing pool facility, a 14,000
square foot fitness centre and a rock-climbing wall in the main foyer.
At the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, completion of a 3,961 square
foot addition to house a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) unit and cobalt radiation
therapy equipment is expected by year's end, making it the only veterinary teaching
hospital in Canada with an MRI dedicated to pets and the only facility in western
Canada able to provide radiation therapy for animal cancer patients.
The University of Saskatchewan Students' Union is moving ahead with plans to
renovate the Memorial Union Building and Place Riel with upgrades to Louis'
Pub and Browsers used bookstore and cyber-cafe also identified as priorities.
Class Size...
With
more than half of all first- and second-year classes enrolling 25 or fewer students,
class size is one of the University of Saskatchewan's most impressive selling
features. Almost 80% of first- and second-year classes have 50 or fewer students,
while only 6.8% have more than 100 students enrolled.
Excellent Student Services...
At the U of S we want to ensure that your educational experience is as positive as possible. Whether you need information or advice about a personal, career or academic issue, look no further than the student support services offered here.
Aboriginal Student Services... 
Recognizing the unique needs of Aboriginal students, the University is committed
to providing services and programs designed to foster an environment where Aboriginal
students feel welcome and where they can flourish and fulfill their academic and
career goals.
Research Intensifies...
The University of Saskatchewan has a proud reputation as a global leader in research,
annually attracting over $100 million in research revenues.
Construction
of the Canadian Light Source (CLS), Canada's only synchrotron radiation facility,
is well underway. Expected to begin operation in 2004, the CLS is transforming
the University of Saskatchewan's status as a centre of research. In fact, more
than 2,000 researchers from around Canada and the world are expected to visit
the University annually once the CLS is fully operational. In addition, the
CLS will be a magnet for bright young Canadians interested in research, attracting
academics and students in a variety of disciplines, including agriculture, biochemistry,
chemistry, electronics, geology, materials, medicine, pharmacology and physics.
Huskie Athletes Excel... 
Every year over 300 students take on the challenge of being part of Huskie Athletics
as athletes, student trainers, team managers and game staff. Huskie Athletics
teams compete in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) organization in 15 sports,
providing an exciting opportunity to watch Canada's best amateur athletes in action.
Choice And Affordability...
Chances are that if there is a program that especially interests you, the University of Saskatchewan offers it. With thirteen colleges and over one hundred areas of study, there are few universities in North America that offer the choice of programs available at the University of Saskatchewan.
Tuition rates at the University of Saskatchewan are comparable with other institutions in Canada and the cost of living in Saskatoon is very reasonable.
Successful Alumni...
Since it was founded in 1907, the University of Saskatchewan has conferred over 110,000 degrees and our alumni can be found on every continent making contributions to business, education, government and the arts.
