University of Regina

The University of Regina was founded in 1911 as Regina College by the Methodist Church of Canada as a private denominational high school. In 1925, it opened as a junior college affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan. From 1961 to 1974, it operated as the Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan before becoming an autonomous university in 1974. The student newspaper, The Carillon, is a member of the Canadian University Press. In 2017, Times Higher Education ranked the University of Regina in the world's top 200 Best Young Universities. The university's three federated colleges are Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College. Since the late 1990s, multiple new buildings have been added including the Dr. William A. Riddell Centre, the Wakpá Tower (South) and Paskwāw Tower (North) Residences, the Centre for Kinesiology, Health & Sport, and the First Nations University of Canada and Research & Innovation Centre. Dr. John Archer Library, opened in 1967, is one of the first three buildings of the current campus. La Cite, the first French University in Saskatchewan, was opened by the university. Regina Research Park is adjacent to the school, closely interacting with university departments.
