Acadia University is a place like nowhere else. Founded in 1838, it is one of the most respected liberal education universities in Canada. At the core of the school’s identity is an unrivaled commitment to its students, and a shared mission to provide a personalized education while promoting a robust and respectful scholarly community. Acadia’s staff, faculty, and administration come together to deliver a truly unique learning experience for students. Acadia’s four faculties – Arts, Pure and Applied Sciences, Professional Studies, and Theology – offer more than 200 degree combinations in its undergraduate and graduate programs. Acadia is widely regarded for its biology, business, kinesiology, environmental studies, psychology, computer science and English programs. Part of that success is owed to the beautiful campus that acts as the foundation for everything Acadia does. Overlooking the Bay of Fundy, nestled in the Annapolis Valley and surrounded by two hundred kilometres of trails – every corner of Acadia is truly and uniquely beautiful.
