Originally established as Huron College, Huron changed its name to Huron University College with Royal Assent in June 2000. To be part of Huron is to be part of one of the oldest university communities in Canada. In 1951, Huron moved to its present location and has since seen major growth not only in its student enrollment, but also in its residence facilities, classrooms, library, and faculty offices. From its modest beginnings in 1956 with 45 full-time students, the Faculty of Arts and Social Science (originally known as the Faculty of Arts), now boasts a student enrollment of over 1200 full-time students. Our Faculty of Theology continues to attract students to its Bachelor of Theology, Master of Divinity, Master of Theological Studies and Master of Arts (Theology) programs. The two Faculties enroll a diverse student body of about 1300, with students from across Canada and around the world.
