Admissions proposed for Fall 2027
Higher education.
Lower latitude.
A university afloat at the heart of Lake Ontario—where scholarship meets seamanship and every seminar has a view.
Proudly unranked since 2026
01 / THE MISSION
Maps change. Lakes remember. We’re founding a place of learning for people who believe a name is worth studying—and occasionally worth sailing toward.
Our proposed campus is a vessel stationed near the geographic center of Lake Ontario. The library rolls. Office hours depend on the weather. The horizon is compulsory.
Canadian and American perspectives meet on deck, where students learn to navigate history, machinery, language, and the lake itself—with all applicable laws and life jackets firmly observed.
02 / THE CURRICULUM
Study the lake
from the lake.
Four inaugural courses. No lecture hall required.
MEC 20402
Boat Mechanics
Learn what keeps a vessel moving—and what to try when it stops moving halfway to Kingston.
NOM 30103
Advanced Nomenclature
Names shape territory. Study cartography, contested place names, and the surprisingly high stakes of a label.
NAV 11804
Applied Border Navigation
A practical introduction to reading charts, respecting jurisdictions, and knowing exactly where the line is.
03 / CAMPUS LIFE
No quad.
Plenty of wake.
01
One moving campus moored between two countries and one very old lake.
02
Small-crew learning because every good seminar—and every good boat—has a capacity.
03
Freshwater scholarship conducted with curiosity, proper permits, and a healthy respect for weather.
Inaugural voyage / Fall 2027
