Visit http://acadiau.ca Acadia University’s campus is beautiful. When you step onto campus, you enter a world of opportunity. Choose Acadia - choose opportunity.
So beautiful, in fact, that we often hear the phrase, “I visited the campus and fell in love with it.” Just steps beyond Acadia’s campus you can explore a lavish natural environment that includes the world’s highest tides, vineyards, woodland trails, farmlands, bustling markets, quaint shops, art galleries, a thriving live theatre scene, the tidal mudflats of the Bay of Fundy (one of the Seven Nat
ural Wonders of the World), and some of the most delicious culinary experiences on Earth. What's more, our location in the heart of Annapolis Valley provides students with access to a variety of ecosystems often used in field-based research and course work, providing a rich balance of both indoor and outdoor laboratory experiences. 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, Acadia is an integral part of the quintessential college town of Wolfville, overlooking the Annapolis Valley and the Bay of Fundy. Work closely with professors, volunteer within the community, study abroad, enjoy world-class co-op placements, and engage in real-world research. Acadia’s four faculties – Arts, Pure and Applied Sciences, Professional Studies, and Theology – offer more than 200 degree combinations across undergraduate and graduate programs.

How does it feel to be an artist with a painting on display at the Louvre? A restauranteur with a Michelin Star? An athlete on an Olympic podium?
That's exactly how our interdisciplinary Southern Mani Archeological Project (SMAP) team described the feeling of sending their marble samples to the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois 👏🗺️
The Mani Marbles making their debut at the Field Museum is just the latest chapter in a saga of adventure and discovery for the SMAP team.

When starting university, you don't have to have it all figured out. Sometimes, the best opportunities (and the best people) show up when we least expect them 💗💡
For Kylie DeViller, a co-op placement in Dr. Zoë Migicovsky’s lab changed everything. What started as a computer science student’s curiosity turned into a passion for plant agriculture, blending data analysis with meaningful research.
Now continuing her work through a Master’s in Biology, Kylie is proof that unexpected paths can lead somewhere incredible (and a little support from the right people can make all the difference✨).
