The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is a fully accredited public university located in Abbotsford, British Columbia — about an hour from Vancouver in one of Canada's fastest-growing regions. Founded in 1974 as Fraser Valley College, UFV now serves around 15,000 students a year, with international students from more than 55 countries.
UFV offers master's degrees, bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, diplomas and certificates across business, computing, sciences, health, social sciences, fine arts and trades. Class sizes are deliberately small, and instructors — not teaching assistants — teach every class, making UFV a strong choice for students who want university credentials with personal attention.
Signature strengths include the School of Business, Computer Information Systems, Criminology and Criminal Justice (with a dedicated research centre), Agriculture, and Health Sciences. Campuses in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission and Hope keep tuition and living costs well below big-city levels.
