Why UPEI?
Small class sizes
You'll have direct access to professors and instructors, creating opportunities for one-on-one mentorship. 53% of our classes have fewer than 30 students!
Balance and flexibility
We know student-athletes' schedules are demanding, and we make accommodations for practices, team meetings, and away-game travel.
Amazing support
Athletics and Recreation staff and UPEI student advisors are here to help! Whether you're choosing the right program, registering for classes, or touring our campus, they have the answers. And that one-on-one support continues once you've chosen UPEI—academic advising for every student in any program, accessibility services and confidential mental health services, and peer support are only a few services to help your student become a part of UPEI's tight-knit campus culture.
Affordability
Besides scholarships and awards for athletic achievement, the George Coles Bursary provides $14,000 to PEI students over a four-year undergraduate degree. And all students can access up to $3,000 per year of study through the UPEI Celebrating Student Achievement Awards program, and hundreds of entrance awards and program-specific scholarships.
Career readiness and professional networking
Our Experiential Education department manages opportunities in career services, co-operative education programs, and industry connections in dozens of sectors and workplace contexts.
