Description: Acadia University is one of Canada's oldest and most distinguished
universities, and has a long tradition of offering accessible education
dating back to its beginnings in 1838. Its founders believed in the
principle of equal access. Acadia was the first university in Nova
Scotia to offer educational opportunities to students regardless of
religious denomination, and in 1884 became only the second institution
in Canada to graduate a woman, Dr. Clara Bell Marshall. Most
importantly, over its 150 year history, Acadia has earned a widespread
reputation for academic excellence as it has pursued the goals of
accessibility. Acadia stands firm in its commitment to a liberal
education with all degree programs requiring courses from both arts and
science. More than 200 different curriculum combinations are available
to students. Acadia maintains an enrolment of about 3500 full time
students, ten percent of which are international students. An
additional 1000 students access the resources of the university through
distance education programs.
