The University of New Brunswick (UNB) has been an established tradition in Canada for more than 225 years. Through these two centuries of educational leadership, UNB has continued to offer what students are looking for - a wide range of degree programs and courses; excellent facilities and research programs recognized around the world; a conscientious, dedicated faculty and staff; and effective student support.
UNB offers a university environment with a window on two dynamic cities - Fredericton and Saint John. The UNB Fredericton campus overlooks New Brunswick's historic capital city and the majestic St. John River. UNB Fredericton is home to nearly 8,000 students yet has a small town feeling of community and friendship. The UNB Saint John campus is a dynamic part of New Brunswick's gateway to the Atlantic. UNB Saint John offers a small campus environment (3,000 students) with a big campus attitude. Students have the advantage of studying at either or both campuses. Each campus has its own characteristics that combine to make one great university. At UNB, a university education goes well beyond the classroom and as such the academic blends with the surrounding social, recreational and cultural environments. In 1997 and 1998 UNB was ranked, by Maclean's Magazine, among the top five Canadian comprehensive universities for "Highest Quality," "Most Innovative," "Best Overall" and "Leaders of Tomorrow". At UNB student success and achievement come first. And we can prove it!
UNB offers nationally recognized degree programs in Arts, Business, Computer Science, Education, Environment & Natural Resources, Kinesiology, Nursing, Science and Law.
