Overview
Nipissing University is primarily an undergraduate public university located in North Bay, Ontario. Overlooking Lake Nipissing, the university is renowned for providing an individualised student experience with small class sizes and supportive and accessible professors. Having a reputation for excellence in teacher education, science, arts, and professional programs, Nipissing University also has four distinct nursing programs, due to which it is known as the most nursing-intensive university in Ontario. The university offers around 30 areas of study, and many of them have opportunities for internships or experiential learning.
The university's roots extend back to 1967 with the formation of Nipissing University College as an affiliate of Laurentian University. In 1992, it received the charter as an independent university and was finally incorporated to address the specific needs of Northern Ontario. Nipissing's strategic focus on student experience and success has made the university positively impact the educational, cultural, social and economic life in the communities it serves.

Nipissing University's dedicated International Student Support Office provides opportunities to internationalise the degree to students through various intercultural programs, study exchanges, volunteer and language programs and on-campus engagement opportunities.
