Acadia's Master of Community Development program is intentionally kept small so that you will receive highly focused attention from our faculty mentors, allowing the program to be customized to your needs and the needs of your chosen research project. Acadia’s small size facilitates access to faculty from related departments throughout the University for assistance with your academic coursework and research. Our faculty are strongly connected with community organizations and with local centres of excellence, such as Horizons Community Development Associates, focused on collaborations between University and community.
