University of the Fraser Valley
The University of the Fraser Valley lies in the school’s namesake mountain-ringed valley and offers more than 100 trade, vocation, degree and diploma programs at three campuses and three centres. Students enjoy small class sizes and can choose full-time, part-time or online studies in a structured or flexible program tailored to their needs. The school blends theory and applied studies and offers career-focused learning opportunities, with co-op options in 20 programs. With an average class size of just 27 students, UFV offers students an intimate learning experience.
The Abbotsford campus is home to the student residence, fitness centre and main library. Construction of a new student residence is underway and will add 398 additional beds when it opens in January of 2026. The school’s new Community Health and Social Innovation Hub is also in Abbotsford and provides opportunities for both researchers and students to work alongside health and social service professionals to solve community health challenges. The Chilliwack campus features an Indigenous gathering place, part of the commitment to Indigenization that the school has woven into its curricula, special programs and events.
The newly renovated Mission campus opened in 2024, and houses the school of education, which was co-created with input from Indigenous partners.
