Bishop’s University
Sherbrooke
Bishop’s University is a predominantly residential, undergraduate university. Our primary concern is offering students a quality education in the fine arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, business and education. The residential aspect of our small size (2,500 full-time students) encourages students to immerse themselves in the complete Bishop’s experience.
Bishop’s is located in the bilingual community of Lennoxville, a borough of the city of Sherbrooke, Quebec, located about 1.5 hours southeast of Montreal. The Eastern Townships region is known for offering a safe and welcoming atmosphere, exceptional outdoor recreational opportunities, and a great quality of life.
