About the Institution
Located in the heart of the National Capital, at the joncture of French and English Canada, the University of Ottawa has held a unique place on the Canadian academic map from its inception. Long a meeting ground for two of the prominent intellectual and scientific traditions of the western world, it is the oldest and largest bilingual university in North America. Established by the Oblate Fathers as the College of Bytown in 1848, the institution moved from Lower Town to its present location in Sandy Hill in 1856. In 1861, the College, like the city in which it is located, was renamed and, five years later, elevated to university status by royal charter. Rev. Joseph-Henri Tabaret, OMI, three times rector of the College for a total of 30 years during the 19th century, is generally regarded as the builder of the University. The University of Ottawa has been conferring undergraduate degrees since 1872, master's degrees since 1875 and PhDs since 1888. Originally a liberal arts college, the University of Ottawa nonetheless began teaching pure and applied sciences in both French and English well before the turn of the century. On the fist day of July 1965, Queen's Park approves Bill 158. It reorganizes the University as a corporation independent from any outside body, lay or religious. The civil and pontifical charters were kept by the newly created Saint Paul University, which is federated with the University of Ottawa. The Ecclesiastical, Pastoral, and Missiology fields of studies stayed under the administration of the Oblates, while the University of Ottawa retained the civil Faculties. Following a major reorganization in 1965, the Universtiy joined the ranks of Ontario's provincially funded institutions. Its nine faculties - Administration, Arts, Education, Engineering, Health, Sciences, Law, Medicine, Science and Social Sciences - offer a full range of undergraduate and professional programs. The School of Graduate Studies and Research administers an equally broad array of graduate programs leading to master's and doctoral degrees in most of the disciplines taught at the University. Over the years, the University has seen its distinct character and special mandate evolve in an increasingly multicultural milieu. Today,
