standards across the country are uniformly high.

Universities
Canada has a large selection of universities and
university colleges located in both urban and rural
settings in every region of the country. Its
universities are internationally known for the
quality of teaching and research. Degrees from
Canadian universities are considered equivalent to
those from American and other Commonwealth
universities. Canadian universities are largely
publicly funded; as a result, they are of a
consistently high quality, regardless of location or
area of study. As well, they all retain a high
degree of academic autonomy. Full-time student
enrolments at individual universities range from
over 35,000 to less than 1,000. In addition, most
universities have a large number of part-time or
continuing education students. They offer a broad
range of courses and a full range of degrees from
undergraduate to doctorates, and can offer
certificates and professional degrees. Fees for
universities differ depending on the province,
institution and program of study. |

Language (ESL) programs. As a component of the
Canadian university system, university colleges
offer students a choice of either academically
oriented university degree programs or the more
practically oriented college diplomas and

population. Historically, these institutions offered
diplomas, as community needs change and evolve and

degrees. The two- to three-year (or shorter) college
programs typically offer specific,

academic concentrations |
