The Certificate in Canadian Arts and Culture at Mount Allison University is an 18-credit undergraduate credential within the Canadian Studies program, focused on Canada's arts, culture, and creative traditions alongside its history, regional distinctions, and multiculturalism. Coursework draws on the same interdisciplinary base as the Canadian Studies major, including History, English, Sociology, Music, Geography, Fine Arts, French Studies, and Drama Studies. It can be completed alongside another degree or pursued on its own. Delivery is on-campus at the Sackville, New Brunswick campus. The certificate suits students who want a focused, transcript-recognized credential in Canadian arts and culture without committing to the full Canadian Studies major or honours program, complementing further study or careers in the arts, cultural administration, education, or public policy.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Certificate in Canadian Arts and Culture's programme page sets no academic prerequisites of its own and defers to Mount Allison's general admission requirements. There, decisions weigh the whole applicant — academic record, leadership, level of commitment, and potential for personal growth — with the specific courses and grades required varying by the applicant's province or country and prior education. Applicants whose language of instruction was not English must meet Mount Allison's English proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 4.5 on the new scale (no section below 4.0), PTE Academic 60 with no score below 51, CAEL CE 70 with no part below 60, Cambridge English (B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency) 176 with no band below 169, or Duolingo English Test 110.
