Our Waterloo Campus

Laurier Waterloo is where tradition, innovation and incredible student spirit collide. Centrally located in Waterloo and spanning 1 large city block, you’re only ever a few steps away from your classes, clubs, study spots and favourite coffee shops. At our Waterloo campus, you can choose from over 60 programs in arts, science, business or music that you can customize by pursuing a double degree, a complementary minor or interesting electives.

Outside of the classroom, you can join one (or more!) of our 270+ student clubs and organizations, cheer for—or play on—our varsity teams and explore all that the City of Waterloo has to offer.

Transfer Opportunities

You've already put a lot of time and energy into completing coursework at another college or university – we value that!
