The university is a non-denominational, government-supported institution, and its administration is carried out by a 26-member board of governors. Twelve undergraduate degree programs are offered in 2 faculties (arts and science and education), as well as a School of Business and Economics. The university also offers a Master of Education degree. With a full- and part-time student population of about 3200, Nipissing University is a small university that prides itself on providing quality education in a small, personal environment.
