USA
Welcome U.S. Students!
Founded in 1802, Saint Mary’s is a modern, urban university just outside of downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. Just an hour flight from Boston (or a short flight from many other U.S. cities), we are consistently ranked in the top ten primarily undergraduate institutions of Canada.
- We offer more than 40 majors in Arts, Science, Engineering, Business and the Environment
- We have affordable tuition – and are an eligible institution for US Financial Aid (FAFSA)
- We offer co-op (paid internships) in every Faculty
- You can do a semester abroad in more than 18 countries
- Students from 117 countries study at SMU (one of the most diverse in Canada)
- 98% of our Profs hold a PhD
- Our first year class sizes are impressively small at 47 students
- We have 13 Varsity Sports Teams
Halifax is a vibrant and exciting young city with an explosive music scene, more than 450 restaurants, and lively nightlife. Yet, incredibly, the rugged Nova Scotia coastline – and the surfing and beaches that come with it – is only a 20-minute drive away.
We will be in the US throughout the year, but if you would like to arrange a phone or Skype meeting with an admission counselor please email lauren.cullen@smu.ca. Click the button below if you would like material mailed directly to you.
