NSAC is a small, vibrant university where students participate and learn applied life sciences and related fields.

With nearly 1000 students, we have one of the lowest student-professor ratios around—yet we rank near the top of all Canadian Universities in research intensity. We offer an internationally respected education in agriculture and the life sciences, including diploma programs, undergraduate and post-graduate degrees—and we manage to do it with one of the lowest tuition fees in the province.

NSAC is located just outside the Town of Truro, in the the village of Bible Hill, Nova Scotia. We're one hour from Halifax by car and only 40 minutes from the Halifax International Airport. NSAC is about one day's car ride from Boston or Montreal.
