Faculty of Education Secures Spot in Maclean’s National List for "Best Programs by Reputation"

Lakehead University has been ranked Ontario’s #1 primarily undergraduate university and the fifth best primarily undergraduate university in Canada, according to the 2025 Maclean’s Magazine annual rankings.

Further, within the University, the Faculty of Education was the only faculty to be recognized in the national top 20 in terms of reputation. This is an achievement the Faculty takes some pride in, as it reflects the work we have been doing over the past years.

“Students choose Lakehead for its welcoming atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, liveable communities, and ultimately, to realize their full potential,” said Dr. Gillian Siddall, President and Vice-Chancellor. “We meet students where they’re at and help them achieve their dreams. We do this through our uniquely accessible pathways to entry, student support programs, and extensive opportunities for experiential learning and research. This year’s Maclean’s rankings recognize the important investments made by Lakehead’s passionate faculty, staff and community partners dedicated to creating an environment where every student can thrive.”

Congratulations to the Faculty and wider university!
