Primarily Undergraduate universities are largely focused on undergraduate education with fewer graduate programs
In the Primarily Undergraduate category, where Canada’s smaller schools are compared, Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B. is once again first. No surprise there; this is the 16th time in 22 years that Mount A. came out on top.
The University of Northern British Columbia’s second-place finish is an even bigger story. UNBC, an 18-year-old school, debuted at ninth place 14 years ago. This year it has the highest total research dollars, and the second best student-faculty ratio—impressive for such a young school.
The University of Lethbridge, Alberta’s rising research star, moves into third place. Its reputation is second overall in its category.
Trent University, l’Université de Moncton, and St. Thomas University are most improved. Each leapfrogged peers, climbing more than one spot. Moncton, in fact, is up five spots, thanks to an improved showing on student and faculty awards, spending on libraries and reputation.
在基础类的加拿大大学排名方面,纽不伦斯威克省的Mount Allison大学拔得头筹,只有18年历史的北卑诗省大学排第二,阿省的Lethbridge大学排第三。

麦克林的加拿大大学排名是将所有大学分成三个类别——
第一类:医学院和博士类大学 THE MEDICAL DOCTORAL RANKING
第二类:综合性大学 THE COMPREHENSIVE RANKING
第三类:基础类大学 THE PRIMARILY UNDERGRADUATE RANKING
其中基础类大学重点在本科教育,并有比较少的研究生项目。综合类大学拥有大量研究项目和广泛的本科和研究生水平的课程。医博类大学都拥有广泛的博士项目,并且都有医学院。因此三大类主要是根据大学课程设置而划分的。三个类别之间并无优劣之分。
此次的加拿大大学排名评价体系中共针对六大方向指标进行排名评比,分别是大学学生情况和学校班级数量,大学师资力量,研究经费和运行预算的投入,学生奖学金和学生服务占预算的比例,图书馆的规模和藏书量及学校声誉。
