Maclean’s magazine has again named UNBC the best small university west of Atlantic Canada. The 20th annual university rankings were released today by the magazine.

Among the 25 universities in the primarily undergraduate category, UNBC placed 3rd nationwide, behind Mt. Allison and Acadia, two Atlantic Canadian universities that are each more than 150 years old. UNBC’s high ranking was achieved on the basis of its excellent students, a high faculty-student ratio, the quality of UNBC faculty, research activity, and the growth of the Library.

The Maclean’s ranking rounds out an award-winning month for UNBC that also includes the top campus sustainability award in North America and a #1 ranking for research that was published in the National Post.
