Dalhousie University

 

Who says you can’t have everything? At Dalhousie University you’ll find the best that life on Canada’s east coast has to offer in a “big-name” school with all the international recognition and prestige that brings. You’ll find world renowned professors who love to teach Dalhousie’s small classes. You’ll find a wealth of choice and flexible degree programs. You’ll find good students who, like you, are ready to do great things.

At Dalhousie we’re proud of the past, and confident in the future. Eighty-five Dalhousie graduates are Rhodes scholars. In North America, only Harvard, Yale, Princeton, McGill and the University of Toronto boast more. Last year alone, three more Dalhousie students joined the illustrious Rhodes list.

New, state-of-the-art facilities open here every year; places like the Marion McCain Arts and Social Sciences Building; Risley Hall, a year-old, 490 single-room residence; and most recently, the Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building.
New buildings springing up alongside ivy-covered stone walls that framed memories for generations of Dalhousie alumni – it’s very appealing imagery. Dalhousie blends the finest academic traditions with leading edge thinking, just as Halifax blends old world charm with the excitement of a city on the move.
