Université Laval is one of Canada’s largest universities with 17 faculties, 60 departments and schools, and nearly 500 programs in every field of knowledge training more than 40,000 students every year. It is also a leader in the area of research and innovation, with over 1,600 research professors divided among 250 teams and centres. In recognition of more than 10 years of outstanding commitment to sustainable development, Université Laval has earned a second gold rating from the international Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS) program. Already ranked first in Canada, it rose to the second position worldwide, out of some 800 registered universities. Université Laval, which is the only university in the province of Québec to offer both agriculture and forestry programs, was one of the first universities in the world to offer a complete curriculum in agroforestry.
