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.
