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.
