BA/BS in Engineering is a bachelor's degree in General Engineering programme offered by Acadia University in Wolfville, Canada. The programme runs for 3 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 25,173 per year (CAD 10,986 per year for local students).
Acadia University's Engineering program operates as a two-stage pathway: students complete their first two years at Acadia before transferring to a larger engineering school, usually Dalhousie University, to choose from seven disciplines — Chemical, Civil, Computer, Environmental, Electrical, Industrial, or Mechanical engineering. At Acadia, students can pursue a two-year, 23-course Certificate of Applied Science, a three-year, 30-course Bachelor of Applied Science, or a combined program pairing engineering study with a BSc in biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics. First-year courses cover foundations such as statics, design, computer programming, thermodynamics, electric circuits, and engineering economics, with an emphasis on hands-on design and prototyping work. The Acadia portion of the program is delivered on its main campus in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, with study completed afterward at the receiving engineering school. It suits students who want smaller classes and closer faculty mentorship in their first two years of engineering study before moving into a larger program to complete a full engineering degree.
Requirements

No minimum overall average, standardized test, or application deadline specific to this program is stated on the page.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Acadia does not publish year-specific application deadlines: its live admissions pages state only that domestic and international undergraduate applicants may apply any time after September 21st, with March 1st as the priority date for entrance-scholarship consideration (decisions by mid-April); no year is attached to either date. Admission is otherwise rolling, with no separate international closing date published. The Bachelor of Education programme has its own cycle, opening October 1st, but as of September 2026 the page still shows the stale 2025-2026 cycle and no current-cycle date has been published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
