The University of Northern British Columbia has participated for the first time in the Globe and Mail’s University Report Card, which was published today. In many categories, UNBC placed among the best in Canada and among the best in British Columbia. Click here for the details about UNBC.

Unlike Maclean’s magazine, which ranks universities nationwide, the Globe and Mail conducts a survey of students at 55 universities and presents the results in 15 categories ranging from overall student satisfaction to the quality of campus technology. Seven universities from BC participated in the survey: UNBC, UBC, Simon Fraser, UVic, Thompson Rivers University, UBC Okanagan, and the University of the Fraser Valley.

Highlights for UNBC include:

• Placing first province-wide in the class size, course registration, and campus buildings categories.
• Placing second province-wide in overall student satisfaction and the quality of teaching, quality of education, student-faculty interaction, academic reputation, extracurricular activities, campus atmosphere, and campus technology.

The Globe and Mail surveyed more than 43,000 undergraduate students in developing its University Report Card. It’s the 7th issue of the publication.
