By Submitted Article

Prince George, B.C. - Macleans  Magazine has released its annual University rankings,and UNBC is listed as number two among  19 small, Canadian universites (which Maclean's calls "primarily undergraduate" universities). Mt. Allison placed first.

This is the highest ranking UNBC has achieved,  moving up from 4th spot in last year's ranking.

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, UNBC was 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). UNBC reached its  best result ever in Maclean's and the National Post and debuted in the Globe at A-, second in BC.
