Overview
Mount Allison University (MtA) is an undergraduate liberal arts university in Sackville, New Brunswick. It was founded in 1839 and became the first university in British Empire to award a baccalaureate to a woman by the name of Grace Annie Lockhart in 1875.
Like other liberal arts colleges in North America, MtA does not participate in rankings based on research, such as the QS University Rankings. But Mount Allison has been ranked the top undergraduate university nationally 23 times in the past 32 years by Maclean’s Magazine, which is an unmatched record.
The University offers around 53 minor, major, and honours programs in various fields, such as applied physics, art history, business, astronomy, aviation, and much more. Graduates from the university have been awarded 55 Rhodes Scholarships, the highest per capita of any educational institution in the British Commonwealth.

The university also has several visiting and exchange students, including those taking up the Mount Allison Summer Semester in English (MASSIE) program.
