University of Fredericton
Since its establishment in 2005, the University of Fredericton (UFred) has aimed to provide innovative and adaptable online education. From its inception, UFred has remained devoted to delivering accessible, high-quality education to professionals across Canada and beyond. Nearly two decades later, the University is recognized for its distinctive approach to online learning, particularly in the fields of business administration and occupational health and safety.
As UFred prepares for its next phase of development, the University has made strides toward global growth. In May 2023, UFred was acquired by IU Group (IUG), a prominent educational institution based in Germany. Both establishments share a commitment to making education broadly accessible, emphasizing flexibility, innovation, and quality within their programs. This shared vision facilitated the acquisition and positioning of UFred for further expansion. With IUG's support, UFred aims to utilize additional resources and expertise to enhance its offerings and reach a wider audience of learners both within Canada and internationally.
UFred's educational philosophy is anchored in a dedication to accessibility, flexibility, and personalization. As an online educational institution, UFred is committed to providing learners with a rigorous academic experience that equips them for success in a changing global environment. The University values diversity, integrity, and lifelong learning, incorporating these principles into all aspects of its operations. Program curricula are carefully designed to be challenging, pertinent, and aligned with the needs of both learners and the industry. UFred employs a diverse faculty of experienced professionals who bring a blend of practical knowledge and academic proficiency to the virtual classroom.
