What Lancers Are Saying

Ainsley Ault - Student
I picked UWindsor because of the first-year mentorship program where you get to spend time with fourth-year student mentors.

Elyssa Biscocho - Student
The professors are actually practicing in their profession, so they get to share what they do in the clinic. You get to be really close with your professors.

Arts and science is a unique program because it doesn’t restrict its students – you are able to construct a degree that is truly reflective of your interests as a learner. The support system provided by both students and professors is also one of the strongest aspects of ArtSci.  I worked in a medicinal organic chemistry lab, where I completed my fourth-year research project. My thesis was focused on developing therapeutic interventions for drug-resistant breast cancer. I collaborated with two research groups to synthesize novel breast cancer cell inhibitors for an NSERC-funded project.
