Nova Scotia Agricultural College: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Nova Scotia Agricultural College was a public university college in Canada, now part of Dalhousie University as its Faculty of Agriculture. It suits students who want agriculture study in Nova Scotia and need to confirm current programme options and admissions through Dalhousie.

  2. What you can study

    Nova Scotia Agricultural College is no longer operating as an independent college; it merged with Dalhousie University and became Dalhousie’s Faculty of Agriculture on 1 September 2012. The available study option linked to it is agriculture, and the current programme catalogue should be checked through Dalhousie.

  3. Getting in

    For international applicants, the key step is to apply through the current home of this unit at Dalhousie University rather than to an independent college. Check the official Dalhousie site for programme availability, entry requirements, document lists, deadlines, and any English-language or visa requirements.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range for this entry; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Nova Scotia will depend on housing, food, transport, and personal spending, so plan for those separately.

  5. Coming from abroad

  6. How it compares

    Canada has 156 universities, so this is one option in a large system rather than a standalone college today. Its main distinction is that it is now part of Dalhousie University as the Faculty of Agriculture, which means applicants should compare it as an agriculture-focused route within a larger university.
