Corporate Vision Most Innovative Higher Education Institution 2025 – Ontario Innovative education and research for a digital world, that’s the core vision of the University of Niagara Falls Canada (UNF). In a time of constant technological change and global challenges, the traditional approach to higher education just isn’t enough. UNF was built to be different and that’s what sets its students apart. As a model for a modern, relevant, forward-looking university, UNF is built on three fundamental core principles: digital mindset, scholarship of teaching and learning, and work-integrated learning. The university, located in downtown Niagara Falls, prepares graduates for leadership in a digital world. That starts with the development of a digital mindset, a combination of a growth mindset and digital fluency. This approach makes UNF graduates adaptable and resilient, ready for the modern workplace. This digital focus is an underlying theme of UNF’s academic programs, designed by integrating evidence-based disciplinary teaching and learning research, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. No matter the program they’re studying, each student will learn and become competent in areas such as artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality. “Many people think digital to be the future, but digital is really the NOW and so we want to ensure our students are ready and prepared for that,” says David Gray, President and Vice-Chancellor at UNF. Academic programs were designed to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving economy and the demands of business and industry. Developed with industry input, programs are aligned with the labour needs in Canada, and beyond. “We know that our students will have good career prospects once they’ve graduated and they will be well-prepared for the demands of the modern workplace,” says Gray. At the undergraduate level, there are two honours degree programs providing students with specialized coursework in areas that address current skills gaps in the industry. The Honours Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences gives students a deeper understanding of the human body. The Pre-Med Pathway offers a head start on their career in medicine, allowing students to start their degree at UNF and finish their studies at one of two partner medical schools, Saba University School of Medicine and Medical University of the Americas. Emerging technologies, new world finances, consumer social evolution, and the digital transformation of business and industry provide the framework for UNF’s Honours Bachelor of Business Administration degree program. Students immerse themselves in real-world case studies and have the choice of two majors: digital economy or digital marketing. David Gray President and Vice-Chancellor
