About Mount

Mount
Allison is a small undergraduate liberal arts and science university known
nationally and internationally for the quality of its programs and research.
Our 16: 1 student-professor ratio, small class
sizes, and emphasis on leadership and research opportunities place the focus on
you. Our goal is to help you develop as a whole person, not just as student.
We have been ranked as one of the top two undergraduate universities in Canada
for over 20 years by Canada's most respected guide to post-secondary education,
Maclean's magazine, a record unmatched by any other university in Canada.
Students graduate with Bachelor degrees in Arts, Science, Commerce, Fine Arts,
and Music. Our flexible programs allow students to combine degrees, majors, and
minors in unique ways that match their
interests and career goals. Location

Brunswick. A classic university town, Sackville boasts natural beauty, a lively
cultural scene, and a friendly, safe, and welcoming community.

Moncton, and its international airport, is a short 30-minute drive away and
Sackville is conveniently located within a two-hour drive from the region’s
major urban centres. Campus Life

Allison students are typically very involved. They choose from over 140 clubs
and societies, often find work as summer research assistants (opportunities that
are rare at larger universities), and are active socially and academically. In
our small residential community of only 2600
students, you will become familiar with others quickly, and professors
come to know you by name. With ample
