University of Guelph-Humber
Etobicoke, Canada • Founded 2002
Updated Sep 2026
Overview
University of Guelph-Humber is a degree-diploma institution in Etobicoke, Toronto, created in 2002 through a partnership between the University of Guelph and Humber Polytechnic (formerly Humber College).
It was the first institution in Ontario to let students earn an honours university degree and a college diploma together within four years of full-time study, and it operates from a single shared campus at 207 Humber College Boulevard rather than a campus of its own. The University of Guelph, a public university based in Guelph, Ontario, confers the honours bachelor's degree; Humber Polytechnic confers the accompanying diploma, so each graduate leaves with two separately named credentials rather than one combined award.
University of Guelph-Humber sets curriculum and delivers instruction for eight full-time honours degree-diploma programs spanning business administration, business & liberal studies, early childhood studies, justice studies, kinesiology, media & communication studies, psychology, and social services & well-being studies, plus a part-time, fully online degree-completion program in justice and public safety for students who already hold related postsecondary study. Every program builds in substantial work-placement, co-op or applied-lab hours alongside academic coursework, and class sizes are kept small relative to a typical university lecture.
Because the campus sits inside Humber's North Campus, students draw on Humber's labs, studios and athletic facilities under University of Guelph academic oversight — a federated, dual-credential model that is unusual among Canadian universities.
