Is UBC an Accredited University?
The University of British Columbia (UBC) is a member of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. Incorporated in 1908 by an act of the provincial legislature, it operates under the authority of the University Act of the Province of British Columbia. Membership in AUCC and operation under the authority of the University Act is equivalent to accreditation in the US system. More information about UBC’s accreditation is on their website. In a study published in 2004 in The Economist, UBC was ranked 35th among the world’s top 500 universities, and regularly places in the top 5 universities in Canada as ranked by Macleans magazine. Students with degrees from UBC go on to further study and employment at universities across North America and around the world.
