Nipissing University in Canada

While the roots of Nipissing University extend back to the 1900s with the North Bay Normal School, Nipissing University College was formed in 1967 as an affiliate of Laurentian University.

Nipissing University received its charter as an independent University in 1992 and was created to specifically address the needs of Northern Ontario. Nipissing’s strategic priorities regarding the student experience as well as academic and research excellence are grounded in this commitment.

Today, Nipissing is proud to be a primarily undergraduate university with a reputation for excellence in teacher education, arts, science, professional programs and with four distinct nursing programs, is proportionally the most nursing intensive university in Ontario.

Nipissing’s strategic focus on student success and experience has translated into consistent top rankings in the country in the areas of student support, student experience, faculty, and residences as a primarily undergraduate institution.   Students find themselves in a high-quality academic environment that is student-focused and based on personal teaching practices, innovative approaches to learning, and growing research culture.
