Already entrenched as one of the top-rated undergraduate universities in Canada, UNBC has reaffirmed that status in the latest annual Maclean's magazine poll, released today.
The Prince George school ranks No. 3 in the nation in the primarily undergraduate category, behind Mount Alison University of Sackville, N.B., and Acadia University of Wolfville, N.S., first and second respectively on the list.
"I'm delighted to know that we have distinguished ourselves and our region by our strong standing in the national ranking of universities by Maclean's magazine.," said UNBC president George Iwama.
"We are third in the country overall, surpassed only by two much older universities in the Maritimes. We are justified in claiming we are Canada's top small university west of Atlantic Canada."
Mount Alison and Acadia have each been in operation for more than 150 years. UNBC opened in 1994.
