Wilfrid Laurier University has campuses in Waterloo, Brantford and Milton. We also have a Faculty of Social Work in Kitchener. All our campuses and locations are an hour's drive or less away from Toronto, Canada’s biggest city.
Laurier's Waterloo and Brantford campuses are located on the shared traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishnaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. Laurier's Milton campus is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, and part of the Nanfan Treaty of 1701. Read our full land acknowledgement.

Laurier’s Milton campus is tailored to local and commuter students to meet the needs of the significant number of students in Halton Region and the Greater Toronto Area looking to attend university close to home. The Laurier Milton campus experience begins as an engaging education hub in the Laurier Milton Academic Centre, which will evolve over the years into a robust, purpose-built campus in the Milton Education Village.
Laurier’s Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work program is housed in a fully renovated century-old building in downtown Kitchener. Close to 300 graduate students are based in the heart of the downtown area, and minutes away from Laurier’s Waterloo campus.
Laurier maintains a research office in Yellowknife as part of its research partnership with the Government of the Northwest Territories. The office, which opened in 2017, allows researchers associated with the partnership to be based out of the Northwest Territories full time. This location enables year-round field research and the ability to foster close relationships with local government and Indigenous and community organizations. Staff in the Yellowknife office also facilitate events such as field courses for Laurier and local students, as well as other community engagement activities.
