New Brunswick is the only province in Canada where both English and French are official languages, and its higher education system reflects this linguistic duality.12
The universities serving the province include:
- English-language institutions: The University of New Brunswick, which operates campuses in Fredericton and Saint John, and St. Thomas University in Fredericton serve the English-speaking population. Mount Allison University, located in Sackville, is also a prominent institution.2
- French-language institutions: The University of Moncton serves the French-speaking population through its campuses in Moncton, Edmundston, and Shippagan.2
While these institutions are publicly funded, they also rely on student tuition and private contributions to support their operations.2
