A Sound and Liberal
Education.
In 1843 our founders declared their goal “to offer the country a sound and liberal education.”
To this day our primary focus remains delivering a broad-based education in an intimate
learning environment that encourages exploration and discovery. Located in the beautiful
Eastern Townships of Quebec, Bishop’s is an English University offering programs in
Business, Education, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities.
Learning at Bishop’s starts with a small group and a question.
With fewer than 2,500 students, we offer some of the smallest class sizes in the country.
You want to get to know your professors? No problem. You won’t be a number here.
We won’t let you. We provide our students with personalized attention. We listen.
We debate. We push students to expand their horizons. We believe in interdisciplinary
study, and in gaining a broad foundation of knowledge about the wider world.
Our students are empowered to deal with complexity, diversity, and change.
Choosing to study at Bishop’s means you are seeking an educational experience
that is going to be unique, exceptional, and transformational.

bishop’s UNIVERSITY6 7
One thing’s for sure. You’re going to change a lot during your time here.
First year classes are all about introductions—to new subjects, to your professors
and to your peers. In many ways it’s an introduction to yourself—you’re about
to see what you’re made of. You’ll be hitting the books, and the material will
challenge you. Over time, you will be confident in your ability to form an argument,
write an excellent paper, and speak your mind.
Learning in a non-judgmental community is the best way to build one's identity
and to develop the confidence to try new things. That's why Bishop's students
have consistently rated their experience as amongst the most satisfying and most
engaging in Canada, and why they go on to do amazing things with their lives.
A lot of what happens here depends on you. Creating an academic environment where
you can grow and change depends on us.

"People look to theoretical

explains Valerio Faraoni, Physics professor.
"A lot of the work is actually asking the
right questions. That's one of the great
things about studying Physics at Bishop's.
There are opportunities to jump right into
the big questions and to refine the skills you
need to make a contribution to the field
of Physics.”
With his own wide-ranging research interests
in gravitation, cosmology and black holes,
Dr. Faraoni is committed to introducing his
students to the exciting research of visiting
physicists from around the world through
a series of seminars offered throughout the
school year. "We have alumni teaching and
conducting research in institutions such as
the California Institute of Technology and
The Australian Astronomical Observatory. I
really enjoy seeing what my former students

Dr. Jessica Riddell
“Studying literature develops an internal
lens for critical thinking which applies
equally to an ad, a television show,
or a piece of public policy,"
states Dr. Jessica Riddell. This strong
conviction, her infectious love of learning,
and pop culture sensibilities has made a big
impression on her students. Dr. Riddell's early
interests in reading, social justice, and the
desire to shape the world in profound ways
has led to a dynamic teaching career as an
English professor at Bishop’s.
Equally passionate about learning outside
the classroom, Dr. Riddell founded the

annual conference provides a collaborative

things that have the energy of the student

focused, student driven, and student run. I am
constantly inspired by my students."

Studying Business Administration at Bishop’s means a hands-on,
experiential business education. Solve real-life marketing dilemmas, devise innovative
solutions for local companies and start building your own business network, all while
studying in the Williams School of Business. Our case-format courses and seminars
as well as our interactive classroom settings provide a unique opportunity for students
to discover their strengths and transform their weaknesses as they hone their
presentation and writing skills in a supportive learning environment.
Students may work toward either a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) or
a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Business (B.A.). The B.B.A. program provides a
solid foundation in core business subjects but also allows students to gain specialized
knowledge in one of seven business concentrations. The B.A. program provides the
same foundation in core business subjects but allows students the flexibility to combine
their business studies with a major or minor in another field.

range of traditional business func-
tions such as research methods,
change management, interpersonal
skills, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Accounting
Learn how companies, investors and
governments compile, present, and

government policies and to gain
first-hand knowledge of current
challenges facing global managers.

Dr. Michael Teed
"Choosing a university is a lot
like finding the right job.
It's all about the fit."
As an industrial organizational psychologist,
Business professor Dr. Michael Teed loves to share
hispassionforhumanbehaviourintheworkplace.
"Bishop's is a place where the classroom is only
five rows deep. So when I introduce a theoretical
perspective on something like leadership, the
intimate environment really supports discussion."
Dr. Teed's newest initiative is harnessing this
classroom setting as an opportunity for group
learning with real-world, practical implications.
"One of the things student face when they leave
university and start looking for work is the
demand for work experience. I knew this was a
stressor and started to think about ways I could
address it in the classroom. I've been working on
a model to train students in résumé writing and
interview coaching, as well as HR consultation
for small businesses. They will then offer these
services to members of the community. It's a great
exercise in experiential learning.”
Dr. Michele Murray
"I came to teaching in the same way
I came to be an academic — driven by my love
of learning,"
explains Dr. Michele Murray, professor
of Religion and Dean of Arts and Science.
"While I was working on my Master’s degree
in Jewish history, becoming a professor in
a university wasn't on my radar. I actually
took a break half way through my degree
to pursue training as a commercial pilot. I
realized towards the end of that training that
I had reached a point where I would master
the crucial aspects of flying. The times that
would be exciting, would be emergencies—
times you don't want. I learned something
really important about myself. I didn't want
to arrive—I wanted to always be learning.
I feel that I am always learning from my
students. It's a joint effort in the classroom.
Students come with perspectives and insights
that have never occurred to me. I love how
my students are always stimulating me to
look at something in a different way."

Located an hour
and a half from
Montreal, Bishop’s
is nestled in the
English borough of
Lennoxville in the
city of Sherbrooke.
The local pubs,
shops and bakeries
will welcome you
warmly.
This region of Quebec is well known for its natural beauty, and
multi-cultural flair. You’ll find theatre, dancing and music fill the
air in all four seasons. Trade summer bike paths and hiking trails
for ski slopes and snowshoes when the snow starts flying.
Bishop’s is located in the heart of ski country; eight hills within
90 minutes of Lennoxville. Did we mention the golf course
on campus? And how about the food? It’s local and exceptional.

lasting friendships. So get yourself a
bogmate. You’ll be telling the stories for
the rest of your life.

The confidence to act.

Come for the experience.
Leave with your story.
In my first year as Principal, I addressed the entering
class. I shared with them my career as a lawyer,
community leader and newspaper publisher, and invited
students who were interested in such topics to visit my
office for further discussion. The next day, six students
arrived at my office door. This is the personal nature
of Bishop’s. It is truly education on a human scale.
I'm proud to watch students realize their potential,
whether on stage, in a classroom or as a member of one
of our varsity teams. This is a community bursting
with ambition, full of students who are capable and
willing to take on the challenges our world faces. Our
model of education provides them the tools to act,
the confidence to perform and the knowledge to ask the
right questions. In an increasingly complex world, our
most effective leaders will be those who can innovate
across disciplines. Students from across Canada and
