Laurentian University suspending several programs this fall

Laurentian University is suspending several programs this fall, but they are not being eliminated as previously reported.

University executive director Isabelle Bourgeault-Tassé says Laurentian is not “dropping” programs.

She says Laurentian has suspended admissions to 17 low-enrolment programs, which means no new admissions to these programs, adding it does not affect students already in these programs.
