Company Overview
An Atlantic Canadian leader, UCCB provides opportunities and partnerships to help learners and communities meet educational, cultural and economic goals. UCCB education, training and discovery models have helped shape the progress of this region and its people for more than 25 years.
As a university college, UCCB offers a full range of undergraduate degrees, diploma programs, and technology skills development options. An impressive record of industrial outreach and an expanding distance education offering complement existing academic and skills training strengths. It is home to more than 3, 400 students, of whom seven per cent are Mi'kmaq and 2 per cent are international. The campus is located in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, the second-largest urban center in Nova Scotia with a population of about 120, 000. Popularly known as 'Nova Scotia's Masterpiece', Cape Breton is one of the world's premier tourist destinations.
In addition to traditional degrees in arts, science and business, UCCB has developed unique Bachelor of Arts in Community Studies (BACS) and Bachelor of Science in Community Studies (BScCS) programs that emphasize problem-solving methodologies.
The Bachelor of Technology degree enables students to major in a growing number of fields, such as information and environmental technology. Many of our business technology and engineering technology diploma programs can be applied towards a degree as well. We also offer a number of certificate programs and two graduate programs -- the Master of Business Administration in Community Economic Development [MBA (CED)] and the Masters in Education - IT (in conjunction with Memorial University of Newfoundland).
Our Co-operative education program enables students in many of our programs to gain valuable and often salaried work experience in addition to classroom study. As well, UCCB offers more international exchange opportunities than any other university in Eastern Canada. Students may participate in these programs for one or two semesters.
Small class sizes, excellent research facilities, distance education options, active Students' Union, athletics, and a student-centered philosophy are just some of the reasons students choose UCCB.
