At Acadia, our program emphasizes the qualities that professionals in the field have identified as important in order for you to be successful. You will work collaboratively with faculty in the classroom and in the community. You will be an individual, not a number. Essential theory and concepts are balanced with experiential learning opportunities.

You will have unique experiences in your core term, when you will undertake a major fourth-year project conducted locally or internationally. During a work placement, you will gain valuable experience as you are immersed in a project that is of special interest to you.
