Maclean’s Canadian university rankings

Overview

The Maclean’s university rankings have highlighted top-performing Canadian institutions while preparing for methodological changes. In recent assessments, McGill University ranked first among ‘Large’ universities, maintaining a 22-year streak of top placements and leading in several student experience and success indicators. The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) also saw success, placing second among small universities and ranking first in student-faculty ratio.

Looking toward 2027, the rankings will implement a revised categorization system that divides institutions into large, mid-size, and small groups based on enrollment size. This new methodology will utilize 15 indicators, including research impact and graduation rates. Recent data within these frameworks shows the University of Saskatchewan ranking sixth in the mid-size category and the University of Alberta ranking sixth in the large university category.
