The University of Alberta remains the top place in Canada to study nursing, according to the 2025 edition of Maclean's Canadian university program rankings. Strong showings in the education and computer science programs led to the university's position of sixth in Canada overall.
"Education with purpose is one of the core priorities outlined in Shape: A Strategic Plan of Impact, and we are proud to be recognized for our high-calibre programs," says U of A president Bill Flanagan. "We will continue to foster an institutional environment dedicated to supporting students with the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to make their mark on the world."
In addition to the third- and fourth-place rankings in education and computer science, the U of A ranked fifth in Canada for engineering and sixth for business.
