About Us:

Located on 140 acres in Charlottetown, Canada’s Birthplace of Confederation, the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) has a rich history with roots in two predecessor institutions: Prince of Wales College (est. 1834) and St. Dunstan’s University (est. 1855). Established in 1969, UPEI honours its proud legacy through a growing reputation for research innovation and academic excellence. The campus consists of 28 academic, administration, residential and athletic buildings including the new Don and Marion McDougall Hall housing the School of Business; a new residence in Bill and Denise Andrew Hall; the W. A. Murphy Student Centre; and, a new facility for the School of Nursing and the Family and Nutritional Sciences programs scheduled to open in the fall of 2011. Athletic facilities have grown substantially over the past decade including  the new UPEI Alumni Canada Games Place track and field facility, the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre, a new lighted synthetic sports field, and a community-based partnership athletic facility with competitive and leisure pools and two professional-sized ice surfaces. The campus also houses the National Research Council’s Institute for Nutri sciences and Health in the Regis and Joan Duffy Research Centre.

 

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 more than 4,400 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students. Home to seven Canada Research Chairs, a Canada Excellence Research Chair in Aquatic Epidemiology, and four 3M Teaching Award-winners, UPEI offers its students access to over 200 exceptional faculty and research staff. UPEI students come from all walks of life; from regional, national and international locations. International students from over 50 countries comprise more than 10 percent of the University’s total enrolment. As enrolment numbers fall at many universities in the face of a declining demographic, UPEI’s numbers continue to climb.

 

With over $4.2 million in scholarships, international exchange and study opportunities, an active Student Union, expanding graduate programs and outstanding student-faculty interaction, UPEI offers its students a truly 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.
