Admissions Planning
Fall 2027 admissions planning
Mount Allison University admission requirements for Ontario students
Ontario applicants need five Grade 12 4U or 4M courses including ENG4U. Mount Allison publishes a minimum final grade of 65% in every university-preparatory course it reviews, but that is a consideration floor, not a guaranteed overall cutoff. Science, Health Studies, Fine Arts, Music, and Aviation add preparation or separate selection steps.
Ontario course base
Five 4U/M courses
ENG4U is required. The current Ontario selector accepts 4U, 4M, IB, and AP electives.
Regular consideration floor
65% in every course
Mount Allison says admitted students normally sit above the minimum.
Early admission
80% in five Grade 11 courses
Conditional early admission also requires completed Grade 11 academic English.
Fall 2027 cycle warning
Mount Allison has not opened or dated Fall 2027 admission
As of August 16, 2026, the live portal names September 2026 entry for Canadian applicants. It names January 2027 entry for Canadian and international applicants. The admissions timeline is still labelled 2026–2027. Do not roll its October, February, March, or May dates forward by one year. The separate financial calendar does explicitly confirm March 1, 2027 for the incoming-student residence guarantee.

Programs and Pathways
Mount Allison programs: flexible degrees with a few sharp edges
A small university does not mean only one academic route. There are more than 50 programs across six undergraduate degree families. Aviation, Health Studies, PPE, Fine Arts, and Music Education each have their own structure or a second selection point.
Flexible liberal arts and sciences
Mount Allison publishes six undergraduate degree families. They are BA, BSc, BComm, BMus, BFA, and BASc. These cover more than 50 programs. They include majors, minors, honours, and interdisciplinary combinations.
Selection: The degree you select at admission sets the prerequisite pattern. Many students choose or formalize majors and minors. They do this after exploring first- and second-year courses.
Aviation
BA, BComm, and BSc pathways combine Mount Allison study with MFC Training. They include more than 200 hours of flying. This leads to a commercial pilot licence plus multi-engine and Group 1 instrument ratings.
Selection: Flight training starts after first year. The student must have at least 24 credits, a Transport Canada Category 1 medical, and the required aviation English-language result.
Interdisciplinary Health Studies
The BASc major or honours route integrates life sciences, social sciences, and humanities. A 24-credit Health Studies minor is also available.
Selection: The direct-entry BASc needs Bachelor of Science prerequisites. It is a broad health degree. It is not admission to medicine or another professional program.
Philosophy, Politics, and Economics
The Frank McKenna School's BA major and honours program blends three disciplines. It supports internships, expert access, and McKenna scholarships and bursaries.
Selection: Mount Allison describes it as the only PPE program in Canada east of Ontario. It is one of five nationally.
Fine Arts
The BFA combines 72 Fine Arts credits, 24 Art History credits, and 24 elective credits. BA and minor routes offer more room for another discipline.
Selection: BFA and BA Fine Arts applicants send a separate application and portfolio. Mount Allison gave Canada's first visual-arts BFA in 1941.
Music and Music Education
BMus has private lessons, performance, theory, history, and liberal-arts study. The four-year BMusEd pilot adds teacher training. It also adds teaching internships in New Brunswick schools.
Selection: BMus and BMusEd need an audition and a supplemental application. A BA major or minor in Music does not need an admission audition.
Undergraduate research
Most programs support faculty-supervised independent projects. They also support summer research-assistant work and honours theses. They support student research grants too.
Selection: Mount Allison says students can begin research as early as second year. But projects and grants require separate departmental or funding decisions.
Aviation is a degree plus a later flight-training gate
Students begin in BA, BComm, or BSc. Then they start MFC Training after first year. They need at least 24 credits, a Transport Canada Category 1 medical, and the mandated aviation English evidence. The pathway can lead to a CPL, multi-engine rating, and Group 1 instrument rating. But its later tuition and travel costs are materially different from first year.

Apply for the experience; do not assume placement
Internship candidates need a targeted résumé and cover letter. Career Development screens applications before sending them to employers. You must have current full-time standing and good academic standing. You must return to Mount Allison after a summer role. These are baseline conditions. Every posting can add its own eligibility rules and deadline.
