Applying is easy, but there are a few things you can prepare ahead of time to make it even easier.
Choose what to study
On your application, you'll need to choose what degree you want to pursue at Mount Allison.
Your options:
- Bachelor of Arts (BA)
- Bachelor of Science (BSc)
- Bachelor of Commerce (BComm)
- Bachelor of Music (BMus)
- Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)

You can also indicate the major you want to pursue or select 'undecided' if unsure. Students are only required to officially declare a major at the end of their second year.
Check our admissions requirements
Once you've chosen a degree, check to see if you meet our admission requirements.
Requirements vary based on the degree you're applying to, your level of education completed, and the country you live in.
