The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is one of Canada’s best small universities. Located in the spectacular landscape of northern BC, Canada’s Green University has won numerous awards for its environmental initiatives.

The university provides undergraduate and graduate learning opportunities that explore cultures, health, economies, and the environment. Offerings include a full range of programs in the arts and sciences, professional degrees, medicine, and engineering. As one of BC’s research-intensive universities, UNBC also involves students in research and discovery. In addition to fostering and

celebrating academic excellence, UNBC is a welcoming place that is friendly and inclusive.

Most UNBC students attend the main campus in Prince George, a city of 81,000 people located in central British Columbia. Its location provides students with easy access to outdoor recreation, including skiing and snowboarding, mountain biking, and hiking.
