SSU is intentionally small, and is proudly Canada’s smallest university with a maximum of 30 students in each year group. There are no lecture theatres on campus – learning happens around a table with professors who know each and every student very well. SSU thinks transformative education happens much better in this context, and this philosophy transforms every aspect of their educational approach; in this environment students learn how to listen to and learn from diverse perspectives, and how to articulate their own ideas and opinions with courage and clarity. Professors are able to tailor their teaching to each individual as each one discovers their career path.
