“This is an exciting time for us,” said Cathy Denomme, Director of the School of Business and Economics. “In July, we launched the School and yesterday, we welcomed students into our expanded programs. We are thrilled to see the interest by the students in studying locally or coming to Brampton from abroad. Enrollment is healthy and there is a buzz on campus and an excitement by the students.”

Denomme is pleased with the fall enrollment numbers and the support received from the community.

The Algoma University School of Business and Economics is forecasted to a bring in upwards of 500 students to Brampton’s downtown within the next three years.

The School of Business and Economics adds to the buzz around new developments and the transformation of Brampton’s downtown core, particularly as it relates to new post-secondary options for students from Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.
