Welcome

Welcome to OAC at the University of Guelph, Canada's top comprehensive research university and national leader in agricultural and food sciences. OAC delivers research and education in English and French through a network of campuses and facilities across the province and with partners, internationally. The College is research-intensive, providing a broad range of programs, from basic to applied, across our four communities of interest: the environment, agriculture, food and rural communities.

We provide learner-centred, multidisciplinary education, with a focus on experiential learning. We continually innovate to meet the needs of a changing world. In these pages, you'll learn more about new programs in urban agriculture, such as landscape architecture, planning and turfgrass science, and in bioresources management, that augment our traditional offerings to provide new leadership for emerging industries.

But OAC is more than education and research — it's also a community that includes award-winning faculty, committed and eager learners and a strong, supportive alumni network.

Explore our website to learn more about our 4 campuses, our 4 communities of interest, and our ongoing commitment to leadership for the life sciences.
