Maclean’s magazine 2022 university rankings moves Ontario Tech to its highest overall placing to date

For the first time in its history, Ontario Tech University has moved inside the top 10 of the Maclean’s magazine rankings of Canada’s universities in the category of ‘primarily undergraduate institutions’. The latest annual survey places Ontario Tech in a ninth-place tie in the overall ranking of 19, continuing the university’s rising trajectory over the past decade.

Among the most significant jumps over the past two years is Ontario -Tech’s move from No. 14 to No. 8 in the sub-category of student satisfaction.  

Ontario Tech’s strong performance in the rankings include top-third placings in: 

• Reputational survey
• Mental health services
• Academic advising
• Social science and humanities grants (No. 1)
• Medical/science grants
• Total research dollars (No. 2)
• Library acquisitions

Ontario Tech also ranked competitively in the categories of experiential learning, student retention, Student Life staff, innovative universities and leaders of tomorrow.

While Ontario Tech distinguishes itself as an undergraduate university with 55 programs and 23 college-to-university transfer programs, its graduate program offerings have expanded widely since the 2005 creation of the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. The university now offers 35 master’s and doctoral programs and is the academic destination for a growing number of postdoctoral fellows.
