Mount Allison has been ranked Canada’s #1 undergraduate university by Maclean’s magazine more times than any other university. But that is not the only thing that sets us apart.

You don’t have to be at Mount Allison very long to realize there is something different about this university.

Mount Allison traces its roots to 1839 when Sackville merchant Charles Frederick Allison proposed the creation of a school of elementary and higher learning.

The Mount Allison Academy, a school for boys, opened in 1843, followed by the Ladies College in 1854.
