About Cape Breton University
Nova Scotia's youngest university and one of Canada's most international campuses, in Sydney on Cape Breton Island, known for business, public health, engineering technology and its flagship MBA in Community Economic Development.
Cape Breton University (CBU) is a public university in Sydney, Nova Scotia, formed in 1974 from Xavier Junior College and the Nova Scotia Eastern Institute of Technology. Set on Cape Breton Island — regularly named one of the most beautiful islands in the world — CBU serves around 6,000 students and hosts one of the highest proportions of international students of any Canadian university, drawn from 70+ countries.
CBU's signature credential is Canada's only MBA in Community Economic Development, and its Shannon School of Business also delivers popular post-baccalaureate diplomas in business management, supply chain and analytics. Other strengths include public health, emerging-technology and engineering pathways, hospitality and tourism, and one of Canada's leading centres for Mi'kmaq and Indigenous studies (Unama'ki College).
With the new Cape Breton Medical Campus of Dalhousie University adjacent to campus, an expanding downtown presence, and a community famous for welcoming newcomers, CBU pairs affordable Maritime living with credentials built for Atlantic Canada's growing job market.
