EduCativ Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Located on 140 acres in Charlottetown, the birthplace of Confederation, the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) has a rich history with roots in two founding institutions: Prince of Wales College (est. 1834) and St. Dunstan’s University (est. 1855). UPEI honors this proud legacy through a growing reputation for research innovation and academic excellence. UPEI’s four faculties (arts, education, science, and veterinary medicine) and two schools (business and nursing) offer a wide range of programs and degrees to over 4,400 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students. Home to seven Canada Research Chairs, a Canada Excellence Research Chair in Aquatic Epidemiology, eight endowed or sponsored research chairs, and five 3M Teaching Award-winners, UPEI offers its students access to over 1,100 exceptional faculty and research staff. UPEI students come from all walks of life and local, regional, national, and international locations. In 2012, international students from over 60 countries comprised more than 12 percent of the University’s enrollment. With over $5.4 million in scholarships, international exchange and study opportunities, an active Student Union, expanding graduate programs, and outstanding student-faculty interaction, UPEI offer its students a unique campus experience. Our alumni enjoy success in their chosen fields and are a constant reminder of the value and promise inherent in a UPEI education.
