Niagara Falls expected to get brand new university, will welcome first students in 2024


A brand new university is set to open its doors to post-secondary students in southern Ontario in 2024.

The University of Niagara Falls Canada will be ready to welcome students in two years, now that it has gotten the green light from the provincial government. 

"Our government is committed to supporting high-quality post-secondary education that provides workers with the skills they need for the jobs of today and tomorrow," Minister of Colleges and Universities Jill Dunlop said. 

According to reports by CTV , It will offer small class sizes, “first-class” student supports, and Global University Systems Canada, the operator of the university, says the university will provide students “with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the 21st-Century workforce.”

Students will also get to choose between in-person, online, and hybrid-style classes.



Bringing significant economic growth to the Niagara region

The direct and indirect impact of this new institution will be significant. On an annual basis, the University of Niagara Falls Canada is expected to generate $291 million in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), $194 million in labour income, and $23 million in government tax revenue, according to an analysis conducted by economist Dr. Roslyn Kunin. The University of Niagara Falls Canada will help grow the local Niagara Falls economy, while also providing the skilled labour businesses across the province require.

What programs are offered?

Informed by labour market needs of the region and local employers, the University of Niagara Falls Canada received consent to offer five programs:

  • Honours Bachelor of Science – Biomedical Sciences.
  • Honours Bachelor of Business Administration – Majors in Digital Economy and Digital Marketing.

  • Master of Management – Specializations in Emerging Technology and Entrepreneurship.
  • Master of Arts in Digital Media and Global Communications.

All academic programs will have a professional focus that prepares learners for a digital world.

The University of Niagara Falls Canada prides itself on small class sizes and first-class student supports.
