North Bay University (NBU) is a public institution of tertiary education located in Sonata. NBU offers secondary and tertiary degrees for post-primary learners, concentrating in the areas of the medical and physiological arts and communications sciences.
North Bay University is known throughout northern Illuminatia for its advanced tertiary specialties in the medical arts sciences, the athletic arts, and telecommunications theory. Secondary level students are attracted from across the Anglo-Russo-Hungarian Megalopolitan Complex to NBU for degrees in the liberal arts and sciences that focus on preparation for the physiological arts and communication sciences. A significant portion of NBU's secondary students receive their primary education at the nearby Northern Comprehensive Educational Facility.
NBU's advanced degrees in telecommunications theory prepare tertiary graduates for careers in northern Illuminatia's media and communications industries. The Sonata Adviser is a local newspaper that credits the university with training many of its communicators. Regional telecommunications giants also benefit from specially trained scientists who graduate with NBU's most specialized telecommunication sciences degrees. NBU students, as is the case with students attending all public education institutions, enjoy a nearly 100% placement rate upon graduation thanks to a government-assisted matching system administered by the Office of Assessment and Placement.
Total enrollment at North Bay University has surpassed 63,300 students, with a many of those students originating from Sonata and the nearby cities of Lark Ascending and Serenade. NBU is the primary tertiary education provider in Sonata. North Bay University receives funding from the Bureau of Education and Enlightenment (BEE) and oversight from the BEE's Office of Curriculum and Programming. As with most public educational institutions, public funding accounts for nearly all of NBU's operational resources. The university's annual revenue is steady at about 6,970,400μ annually.
NBU student organizations are popular in downtown Sonata for their semiregular anatomical educational extravaganza, in which the students clandestinely organize the placement of highly realistic albeit larger-than-life replicas of human body parts on public display in various locations within the center of the city. The displays are complete with labels and simple educational descriptions.
