 Founded
in 1839, limiting itself to offering Bachelor's degrees in Science, Arts,
Commerce, Music and Fine Arts, with only 2100 students, and an average class
size of 18, Mt Allison has remained true to its objective of providing
undistracted focus on undergraduate students in a personal and individualized
way.
Mt Allison has been ranked first overall among undergraduate universities in
Canada 12 times and second five times in the past 17 years by Canada's national
magazine, Macleans, and first in national awards won both by students and by
professors. In addition, Mt Allison has been ranked first among all Canadian
universities in graduate satisfaction. Contrary to some opinions, the best
undergraduate education is provided by small universities that focus on that
specialisation and not by big universities with reputations built on research
and doctoral programmes.
With 45 countries represented on campus and a warmly welcoming approach to
international students, Mt Allison is situated in a safe, very friendly and
essentially crime free area of Canada.
Beyond the classroom, student government, leadership programmes, residence life,
volunteering and 140 clubs and societies seek to fulfill the University's
mission of development of the whole person preparing students for success and
flexibility in the 21st century. |
