University of Prince Edward Island

The University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) is a university in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is the only university in the province.

Significant government investment in UPEI since the mid-1990s has begun to see the university improve in national rankings. At the time that the Maclean's Magazine annual university ranking began in the early 1990s, UPEI was ranked near the bottom but currently stands at #8 on the list of top undergraduate schools in the country. Maritime universities with top five placements in the Maclean's annual ranking include Acadia University, Mount Allison University and St. Francis Xavier University.
