International experiences

Our study abroad options

Study abroad options offer a chance to study abroad while earning credit toward your MtA degree. They vary in length, including for an academic year, for a semester, and during summer months.

Options include:

Exchange programs — study at one of our international partner institutions in another country, and pay tuition to Mount Allison.
Independent study abroad — study at an international university of your choice, and pay tuition directly to your host institution.

Other international opportunities

International experiences at Mount Allison include undergraduate research, international internships, conferences, and volunteering.

Some international experiences are available through academic departments and programs.

Some student-led clubs and societies also offer opportunities to volunteer abroad.

Funding opportunities are available for both national and international experiences.
