Here’s another report of how students are suffering from poor undergraduate education. Again, we read that the quality of undergraduate education is suffering because of a focus on research. Vice-president Academic of the University of Prince Edward Island, Jim Randall said that doesn't mean undergraduate education is deteriorating. He believes the report is mainly concerned with larger universities.
So is a smaller university a better option? Or more specifically one that is less research oriented and more focused on undergraduate education. One of the advantages of Maclean’s ranking is that there is a separate category for primarily undergraduate universities so you can easily narrow your choices down given this study.
Maybe good things really do come in small packages!
