At Brescia University College, you will be challenged to actively engage in your education, both inside the walls of your classroom and extending beyond into the local and global community. You will be offered unparalleled opportunities to develop your leadership skills and your true, authentic leadership character. With over 100 years of educating women, Brescia commits to enabling you to reach your full potential as a student and future leader.
Brescia is Canada’s women’s university. Since our inception in 1919, we’ve been educating passionate, creative, intelligent women — like you — who want to lead boldly in a rapidly changing world.
So what does it mean to attend a women’s-only university? It means you will:
Did you know that graduates from women’s universities and colleges report they are “completely satisfied” with their overall education and are more likely to pursue graduate degrees versus graduates from co-ed institutions? Women’s university and college graduates also report they felt greater support from their institution in preparation for their first job, as well as reported being better prepared for life after graduation than their co-ed counterparts (Source: Hardwick Day, 2012).
Brescia University College offers three-year and four-year undergraduate degrees within four schools: School of Behavioural and Social Sciences, School of Food and Nutritional Sciences, School of Humanities and School of Leadership and Social Change. Each school offer a wide variety of unique programs including Foods and Nutrition, Community Development, Nonprofit Management and Management and Organizational Studies. Additionally, Brescia offers a Masters degree and a Diploma in Foods & Nutritional Sciences.
