About Us Home

 

Sure, we can tell you about our beautiful surroundings and how our students rate us #1 in several student satisfaction surveys, or how our residences are the rated the best in Canada according to the Globe & Mail, but the best way to experience Nipissing is by visiting us.

Nipissing has mapped out an exciting future for its students with its Strategic Plan 2010-2015.

While the roots of Nipissing University extend back to the 1900's 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. Today, Nipissing is proud to be a primarily undergraduate university with a reputation for excellence in teacher education, arts, science and professional programs. Students will find themselves in a high quality academic environment that is student-focused and based on personal teaching practices, innovative approaches to learning, and a growing research culture.  Nipissing is committed to playing a positive role in the educational, social, cultural and economic life in all of the communities it serves.
