Oldest Universities in Canada

What are the oldest Universities in Canada? uniRank tries to answer this question by publishing a list of 101 Canadian Universities ordered by year of establishment and meeting the following uniRank selection criteria:

• being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate Canadian higher education-related organization
• offering at least four-year undergraduate degrees (bachelor degrees) or postgraduate degrees (master or doctoral degrees)
• delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, face-to-face, non-distance education format

Our aim is to highlight which Canadian Universities have the longest history and tradition and how this correlates to their uniRank University Ranking.
