According to the 2008 Globe and Mail s Canadian University
Report, the University of the Fraser Valley was ranked as the top public
university in B.C. of any size for overall quality of education, quality
of teaching, most satisfied students, best student-faculty interaction, and best
career preparation. UFV also listed at the top, or sharing the top spot, in its
category nationwide for having the smallest class sizes, most satisfied
students, highest quality of education, highest quality of teaching, course
variety/availability, ease of registration, and best library facilities.
A teaching university with a focus on excellence, UFV offers 15
bachelor s degrees , one applied master s degree , and more than 80
certificate and diploma programs in applied and academic areas , including
trades . We believe that anyone who wants to go to university should be given a
fair chance, so our admission policies are flexible, and we provide university
prep courses and high school completion for those who aren't quite ready.
Students can learn in a variety of ways: full-time, part-time, in-class, online,
as part of a structured program or one tailored completely to their interests.
Many of our programs ladder into one another, allowing students to
keep their options open by earning a one-year certificate and/or a two-year
diploma on the way to completing a full degree. Others offer a co-operative
education option , where students can combine study with supervised,
professional, paid, work experience. Our thriving international programming
makes for a culturally diverse student community and great opportunities to
study abroad . Our continuing studies and academic upgrading offerings make
learning a lifelong experience. Many clubs, events, and activities enhance
student life on campus and our award-winning Cascades athletics teams are
highly competitive.
UFV is committed to providing exceptional
post-secondary instruction and a nurturing learning environment for the students
of the Fraser Valley and beyond. We are large enough to offer variety yet small
enough to offer the personal attention that these students need to thrive. Our
small class sizes and focus on teaching allow them get to know their instructors
and learn in a hands-on environment. Our emphasis on applied research offers
many opportunities for student researchers.
UFV is recognized nationally
for student success, an excellent learning environment, creative integration of
programming, and our work with local communities. |
