acadia university
Founded in 1838, Acadia University is one of the oldest and most respected
liberal arts universities in Canada. Located just a one-hour drive from Halifax,
Nova Scotia and its international airport, Acadia is an integral part of the
quintessential college town of Wolfville, overlooking the Annapolis Valley and
the Bay of Fundy. Acadia’s 3,574 students come from nearly every province and
nearly 60 countries to take advantage of our strong academic programs, a
curriculum that encourages personal development, and collaborative learning
experiences led by award-winning professors. Students are encouraged to become
part of a scholarly community that encourages and inspires them. Community
engagement, real-world opportunities, and meaningful research at the
undergraduate level are pillars of an Acadia education. The University
recognizes that learning means living every moment in and out of class. Working
closely with their professors is something that can be transformative for both
our faculty and students, and often results in lifelong friendships. In addition
to the academic experience, co-curricular and campus life programs enhance
learning opportunities and help students develop teamwork and leadership skills.
Acadia has a long tradition of respecting diversity. Each member of the
community has different experiences to share, enriching classroom and casual
interactions. Our liberal arts curriculum, combined with the intangible Acadia
spirit and sense of belonging, lays a strong foundation for our students’ future
aspirations – travel, post-graduate study, careers, and family. An Acadia
education helps our students grow and prepares them for life. REQUEST
