The Université de Moncton is taking action to combat declining interest from New Brunswick Francophone graduates, reports CBC. UMoncton’s goal is to welcome more than 30% of the graduates from NB’s Francophone schools, but that proportion has dropped from 34.2% in 2018 to 26.3% in 2024. UMoncton Recteur Denis Prud’homme told CBC that other Canadian universities have drawn applicants away with more attractive program offerings and scholarships. In response, UMoncton plans to offer larger scholarships and more online courses in the coming years. The university will also be launching a centre of excellence focused on teaching and engagement.
