The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is a small, primarily undergraduate university, the main campus of which is located in Prince George, British Columbia. UNBC also has regional campuses in the northern British Columbia cities of Prince Rupert, Terrace, Quesnel, and Fort St. John. The enabling legislation is the ''University of Northern British Columbia Act 1996''.〔(''University of Northern British Columbia Act 1996'', CanLII )〕 In the 2013-2014 academic year, 4,020 students were enrolled at UNBC.〔(UNBC - Facts & Statistics: Our Students )〕 In 2015, UNBC was ranked as the number one university of its size in Canada in the Primarily Undergraduate category by Maclean's Magazine. In 2007, the university obtained the trademark for "Canada's Green University".〔(UNBC - Canada's Green University )〕 Because of its northern latitude, UNBC is a member of the University of the Arctic. ==History== The British Columbia legislature passed Bill 40 (the UNBC Act), which formally established the university, on June 22, 1990〔(UNBC History )〕 The university was established in response to a grass-roots movement spearheaded by the Interior University Society. UNBC offered a limited number of courses in rented office space in 1992 and 1993 but was opened officially by Queen Elizabeth II, with 1,500 students, in 1994 with the completion of the main Prince George campus after two years of construction. The university gained attention with the introduction of the Northern Medical Program (NMP), a collaboration between UBC and UNBC. Through this collaboration, several academic physicians have been attracted to the city, which has led to an emerging academic medical community. For example, the introduction of the BC Cancer Agency's Centre for the North has attracted academic oncologists, such as Dr. Robert Olson. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Northern British Columbia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
