Academics

At StFX, we provide students with a world-class education where the undergraduate is always the clear priority. Our award-winning faculty lead majors and honours programs in 40 departments in the faculties of Arts, Science, Business and Education. Our programs are diverse — from aquatic resources to international development to jazz — and provide students with a firm grounding in the fundamentals, while also addressing the critical issues of today. Our full-time professors teach courses that ignite discovery and spark critical thinking, helping students gain the knowledge and skills to contribute to our society.

Our faculty’s expertise is matched only by its passion. The academic experience is, in a word, personal. We’re here to challenge, stimulate and support you. Come experience it for yourself.
