历史

The Université de Sherbrooke was born from a desire to establish a French speaking Catholic university in a region that had been predominantly English speaking. Initially there was a religious component to the pedagogical activities, but by the end of the 1960s the number of priests working for the university had greatly diminished. In 1975, the appointment of a layman as Rector marked the end of religious activity in the institution. The Department of Theology, however, is still officially Roman Catholic, alone in Quebec in this regard.

Activities at the Université de Sherbrooke in 2007 are mainly centred on teaching and research.

The Joint Campus in Saguenay opened its doors in 1996 to medical students.

Also opening in 1996, the Joint Campus in Moncton, New Brunswick, offers medical training to French-speaking students.

Programs

The Université de Sherbrooke is located in the Appalachian Mountains and two rivers meet in the city. The main campus is adjacent to the Mont-Bellevue, Quebec. The university offers a variety of bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral and post-doctoral programs as well as various certificates and microprograms. It is the only university in Quebec and one of the few in the world that offers a Bachelor of Law (LL.B.) combined with a Master of Business Administration (MBA).

The Faculty of Theology, Ethics and Philosophy offers Undergraduate level certificate, diploma, Bachelor's, Master's and Doctor's degrees in Theology/Theological Studies; Doctorate Theology and Religious Vocations; and Undergraduate level certificate/diploma/Graduate level certificate/diploma Pastoral Studies/Counselling.

Students can choose to specialize in the following engineering disciplines: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Biological Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

Sports

Sports teams representing the Université de Sherbrooke are called Le Vert & Or (The Green and Gold).

Media

The university publishes a newspaper primarily addressed to people on campus, UdeS. With a circulation of 8500 copies, UdeS is delivered free by internal mail to 2600 members of staff: professors, professionals, managers, administrators and support personnel. It is also sent by mail to some 600 retired staff.

Nearly 3500 copies of UdeS are distributed free in displays located in the faculties and services of the university’s three Sherbrooke campuses. About 1000 copies are sent to the media, government departments and educational institutions in Quebec. The remainder are distributed in a number of locations in Sherbrooke, including bookstores and certain teaching establishments.

Starting September 10th, UdeS is replaced by USherbrooke.ca/nouvelles. The end of the newspaper is explained by the sustainable development policy of the university, the changes in readers habits with the Internet and the diminution in ads revenues.

The university also publishes the magazine UdeS, which has a circulation of 85,000 copies. Published three times a year by the Communications Service, this magazine is distributed free to everyone in the central graduate database and to staff as well as friends of the institution. Copies are also distributed in a number of locations in Sherbrooke.

In addition, the university’s student community puts out a student newspaper, the Collectif, and operates an FM radio station, CFAK-FM.

A wide-ranging survey of Canadian university students revealed that in 2006, for the third time, the Université de Sherbrooke was rated best in Canada.

The number of students attending the Université de Sherbrooke continues to rise and the university has worked with the City of Sherbrooke to respond to the increase.

The Université de Sherbrooke had also ranked first in The Globe’s November 2005 study, for its reputation (A+), quality of life on campus (A+), technological resources (A), career preparation (A), quality of education (A-), student services (A-), etc.

A wide national survey was also conducted across Canada in by the Global and Mail and Macleans'magazine in order to determine which university has the highest average of satisfaction of the students. According two those two sources, the Université de Sherbrooke shows again the highest average of satisfaction by its student in 2008 .

Beyond this excellent ranking in terms of education and campus life, the Université de Sherbrooke is doing much to improve off-campus life for students. In particular, it offers the university community free transportation at all times on the public transit system, in partnership with the STS (Sherbrooke transportation corporation). Since its introduction in 2004, this measure has gained increasing popularity.
