More information on Simon Fraser University

This university is a mid-size campus with 17,000 students and 100 programs. It has three campuses: in the city of Surrey, downtown's Harbour Centre, and the main one, nestled on top of Burnaby Mountain. Designed in the 1960s by renowned local architect Arthur Erickson, it is well worth a visit. As a comprehensive university, it offers programs in the liberal and fine arts, sciences, applied sciences, business, and education. SFU holds day and evening classes, and allows students to take time off between studies to work in one of the university's co-operative education jobs.
