The university was founded in 1963 following the recommendations of the royal commission on higher education in New Brunswick. Since then, the institution has been widely regarded as the heir to several Acadian institutions of higher learning such as the Collège Saint-Joseph.

The university strives to be a generalised university, offering training and research in the fields of management, arts, social sciences, law, engineering, natural sciences, health, social work and education. As Canada's largest exclusively French-language university outside of Quebec, the university has, as of December 1, 2021, 4 655 full-time and 515 part-time enrolments; of the total number, 65.5% are from New Brunswick and 27.4% are international.

History

The Université de Moncton was born because of recommendations made in 1962 by a Commission of Inquiry on Higher Education in New Brunswick chaired by John J. Deutsch. The new university was created on June 19, 1963. Collège Saint-Joseph, the Université Sacré-Cœur in Bathurst, and the Université Saint-Louis d'Edmundston agreed to suspend their respective charters and assume the status of affiliated colleges (Collège Saint-Joseph, Collège de Bathurst, and Collège Saint-Louis). The new Université de Moncton took shape on land in Moncton's Sunny Brae neighbourhood.

In 1972, Collège Jésus-Marie in Shippagan was affiliated directly with the Université de Moncton and offered the first two years of the arts program.

Following recommendations made in 1975 by the Committee on Higher Education in the Francophone Sector in New Brunswick, chaired by Justice Louis A. LeBel, the Université de Moncton underwent a major reorganization. In 1977, the Université de Moncton became a university composed of three equal campuses, located in the three major francophone regions of the province: Edmundston, Moncton, and Shippagan. Collège Jésus-Marie became the Centre universitaire de Shippagan campus of the Université de Moncton, and Collège Saint-Louis-Maillet became the Centre universitaire Saint-Louis-Maillet campus of the Université de Moncton.

The current designations of the three constituents of the Université de Moncton are: Université de Moncton, campus d'Edmundston (UMCE), Université de Moncton, campus de Moncton (UMCM) and Université de Moncton, campus de Shippagan (UMCS).

Campuses

The university is divided into three campuses:

The Moncton Campus is home to more than 70% of the students and offers all programs, except for Forestry (offered in Edmundston) and Information Management and Sustainable Development and Coastal Zone (offered in Shippagan). Located in the north of the city, the Moncton Campus includes some twenty pavilions, the CEPS Louis-J.-Robichaud sports center, the J.-Louis-Lévesque arena, the Musée acadien, the Louise-et-Ruben-Cohen Art Gallery, and several residences and apartments to meet the needs of students (rooms, studios, and university apartments).

The Campus Universitaire d'Edmundston, in Edmundston (Edmundston Campus) is built on an elevated area of the downtown core, near the Trans-Canada Highway. It has four pavilions, a student center and a residence with the capacity to house nearly 90 students. It welcomes more than 375 students. The Pavillon sportif d'Edmundston is located on the campus grounds and includes a swimming pool, a climbing wall, different gymnasiums and more. A 2,400-seat amphitheatre used for field hockey and shows is also located next to the Pavillon sportif. Outside, there is a six-lane athletic field with bleachers.

The Shippagan Campus is located in northeastern New Brunswick. It includes four pavilions: the Irène-Léger Pavilion, the Bibliothèque, Sciences et technologies Pavilion, the Zone côtière Pavilion and the Armand-Caron Sports Pavilion. It also has the Institut de recherche sur les zones côtières VALORĒS, and four university housing buildings. The Shippagan regional pool is attached to the Armand-Caron Sports Pavilion. The campus is home to over 500 students.

Faculties

The Université de Moncton has more than 200 programs:

  1. Faculty of Administration (Administration)
  2. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (Arts et des sciences sociales)
  3. Law (Droit)
  4. Engineering (Ingénierie)
  5. Science (Sciences)
  6. Health Sciences and Community Services (Sciences de la santé et des services communautaires)
  7. Education (Sciences de l'éducation)
  8. Forestry School (École de foresterie)
  9. Information Management and Sustainable Development and Coastal Zone (Gestion de l’information et développement durable et zone côtière)

Not all faculties offer programs on each campus. In many cases, students may take the first year of a program at the Edmundston or Shippagan Campuses before having to transfer to the Moncton Campus. The School of Forestry (École de foresterie) offers courses at the Edmundston Campus only, while the Sustainable development and Coastal Zone (Développement durable et zone côtière) and Information Management (Gestion de l'information) are only offered at the Shippigan Campus. The first year of the Nursing program at the Shippagan Campus is followed by three years in Bathurst.

The Université de Moncton offers a range of studies at the graduate certificate, graduate diploma, master's and doctoral levels. The Moncton Campus is also the home of the medical training program run by the Université de Sherbrooke.

Libraries

There are six libraries and ressource centres across the three campuses: Bibliothèque Champlain (Moncton), Bibliothèque Michel-Bastarache (Moncton), Centre d'études acadiennes Anselme-Chiasson (Moncton), Centre de ressources pédagogiques (Moncton), Bibliothèque Rhéa-Larose (Edmundston) and Bibliothèque Campus de Shippagan.[4] All records from these libraries are gathered into one catalogue: Catalogue Éloïze.[5]

Two of these libraries, Bibliothèque Michel-Bastarache and Centre de ressources pédagogiques, are special libraries, catering to the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Education, respectively. The Centre d'études acadiennes, found on the lower level of Bibliothèque Champlain, is a world-renowned and primary resource and archive centre for Acadian studies.[6]

Student Life and Athletics

Many social and physical activities are offered, such as live performances, music, movies, theater, student radio, improv, student councils, swimming pool, racquetball and squash courts, gym, fitness rooms and more.

The Université de Moncton is represented by nine teams in various sports leagues in the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) and 'U Sports (formerly: Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS)). They compete under the name Aigles Bleus and Aigles Bleues. The University is represented by men's and women's teams of hockey, soccer, athletics teams and a cross country running teams. It also has a women's volleyball team.

The Croix-Bleue Medavie Stadium, located on the Moncton campus, seats 10,000 to 20,000. It allows the Université de Moncton to host major sporting and recreational events. It was inaugurated in 2010.
