DRAFT: McGill University lead
editMcGill University (French: Université McGill) is a co-educational,[1] public, research university[2] in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1821 as Quebec's first university[3] by a royal charter granted by King George IV,[4] it bears the name of James McGill, a Scottish merchant whose bequest in 1813 formed the university's precursor, University of McGill College; the name was officially changed to McGill University in 1885.[5]
McGill's main campus is on the slope of Mount Royal in downtown Montreal,[6] with a second campus situated in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue,[7] also on the Island of Montreal, and a third campus in Gatineau,[8] in the Outaouais region of Quebec. McGill is one of three English-speaking universities in the province of Quebec.[9] McGill offers undergraduate degrees in more then 300 programs of study,[10] with the highest average entering grades of any Canadian university,[11] and more than 400 programs at the master's and doctoral level.[12] The university includes a medical school,[13] law school,[14] business school,[15] and several affiliated seminaries.[16] As of 2020, McGill is ranked first in Canada among medical-doctoral universities by Maclean's.[17]
With 30% of students coming from outside Canada, its student body is the most internationally diverse of any medical-doctoral research university in the country.[18] McGill faculty and alumni include 12 Nobel laureates,[19] three Canadian Prime Ministers,[20] and more than 120 Olympic athletes.[21]
