From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) is a branch of the Université du Québec founded in 1969 and based in the Chicoutimi borough of Saguenay, Quebec. UQAC has secondary study centers in La Malbaie, Saint-Félicien, Alma and Sept-Îles. In 2003, 6583 students were registered and 209 professors worked for the university, making it the third largest of the ten UQ branches, after UQAM and UQTR. It offers over forty undergraduate and graduate programs. The university is especially well known for its researchers in aluminium, forestry, frost (in French, givrage), geology and historical population studies. The general Quebecer public is most acquainted with historian Gérard Bouchard.
In 2006, Université de Sherbrooke opened a pavillion of its medical school on UQAC's campus, allowing its students to register at UQAC for other courses, such as biology.
