Maclean's Magazine released the results of its annual ranking today and UNBC achieved its highest ranking ever, placing second among 19 small, Canadian universites (which Maclean's calls "primarily undergraduate" universities). Mt. Allison placed first.

As in other years and in other surveys, UNBC performs very well in categories that measure students and faculty quality, class size, library growth, and research. In fact, UNBC placed first for "total research," reinforcing the results in the "research university of the year" analysis that was printed in the National Post last week.

In addition to the objective data that Maclean's gathers from the various universities, Maclean's uses student and reputational surveys to assess perceptions of university quality. UNBC was tops in BC for faculty-student interaction and overall educational experience for students on the verge of graduating. In the reputational survey, we were again identified as a "leader of tomorrow."

The Maclean's survey rounds out a series of annual reviews of universities, covering student satisfaction (Globe and Mail), research (National post), and overall quality (Maclean's). We reached our best result ever in Maclean's and the National Post and we debuted in the Globe at A-, second in BC. Overall, great results that illustrate the success we have all - northern communities, government, students, and faculty/staff - had in building a high-quality university for the North and beyond.
