ABOUT UPEI:
A public liberal arts and science institution, UPEI is committed to encouraging and fostering critical, creative, and independent thinking.

Whether their students were born and raised on PEI or have chosen the Island as their "home away from home," they encourage them to embrace the community - to become involved. They want them to experience learning within, and also beyond, the classroom.

MISSION AND GOALS :
The University of Prince Edward Island, founded on the tradition of liberal education, exists to encourage and assist people to acquire the skills, knowledge, and understanding necessary for critical and creative thinking, and thus prepare them to contribute to their own betterment and that of society through the development of their full potential.

To accomplish these ends the University is a community of scholars whose primary tasks are to teach and to learn, to engage in scholarship and research, and to offer service for the benefit of their Island and beyond.

STUDENT SERVICES :
At UPEI, making sure students have the best academic and personal experience is their top priority. With programs geared specifically for the transition from high school to university, they do their best to nurture your interests and make you feel at home.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS :
At UPEI they offer an education rich in knowledge and opportunities - and in value. Consistently ranked as one of Canada’s Top Ten primarily undergraduate universities, UPEI is special - a university rooted in history, which has grown to become an integral part of the city of Charlottetown and the province of Prince Edward Island.
