蹤獲扞⑹ takes top spot in university rankings
Prince George, BC 蹤獲扞⑹ is the top university of its size in the country according to annual rankings released today by Macleans magazine.
For the first time ever, 蹤獲扞⑹ is ranked No. 1 in the Primarily Undergraduate category that includes 19 universities.
This recognition from Macleans only supports what the residents of Northern BC already know - that 蹤獲扞⑹ provides a first-rate education and a foundation for the development of the next generation of leaders for our region, our province and our country, says 蹤獲扞⑹ President Dr. Daniel Weeks. The dedication of our faculty and staff, the achievements of our students and alumni, and the generosity of our donors all contributed to this tremendous accomplishment.
蹤獲扞⑹ finished in the top five in seven different categories including student awards, total research dollars, library acquisitions, student/faculty ratio, faculty awards, operating budget per full-time student, and library expenses.
This year, Macleans added a student satisfaction survey, and strong support from 蹤獲扞⑹ students figured significantly in the outcome. 蹤獲扞⑹ students gave the University high marks in mental health services, extra-curricular activities and the quality of course instructors.
As a graduate of 蹤獲扞⑹, I recognize the value of a 蹤獲扞⑹ education, and can echo the sentiment of our current students that pushed us to the top of the national rankings, says 蹤獲扞⑹ Board of Governors Chair Ryan Matheson. On behalf of the Board of Governors, I offer sincere congratulations to the entire 蹤獲扞⑹ community as well as its supporters and champions.
Trent University placed second in the undergraduate rankings and the University of Lethbridge placed third.
Simon Fraser University retained top spot in the Comprehensive category, followed by Waterloo and Victoria. McGill placed first in the Medical Doctoral category, followed by Toronto and UBC.
