PRINCE GEORGE — The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) figured prominently in this year’s Maclean’s university rankings.

This year marks the fourth consecutive year the University has placed second in the primarily undergraduate category. UNBC has actually placed in the top three in 18 of the past 19 years.

“The latest Maclean’s rankings demonstrate that UNBC continues to be recognized for the quality of its learning environment and the reach of its ideas,” says UNBC Interim President Dr. Bill Owen. “Thank you to the students, faculty and staff whose passion and dedication drive this progress every day. UNBC’s commitment to discovery, inclusion and sustainability is shaping a University that’s ready for what’s next.”

UNBC also ranked fourth in the reputational survey, which asks university faculty, administrators and employers across Canada to rate the quality of education at universities.

UNBC ranked tops in the country in the student-faculty ratio category, with 13 students for every faculty member.
