With the establishment of the Edgar and Dorothy Davidson Chair of Canadian Studies in 1969, Mount Allison University developed its programme of Canadian Studies, at the time the only one of its kind in Canada. The programme was further strengthened in 1977 with the endowment of the Winthrop Pickard Bell Chair of Maritime Studies. The entire programme is designed for those students who wish to increase their knowledge of Canada, its history, institutions and culture.

Unity in the Programme is achieved by concentrating on the interrelationships of disciplines within the Canadian context. Participating disciplines include Economics, English, Fine Arts, French, Geography, History, Political Studies, Religious Studies, and Sociology/Anthropology.

The comprehensive nature of the Programme and its innate flexibility prepare the student for entrance to a wide range of careers and activities, in post-graduate studies in many areas of concentration, as well as in business, government, journalism, law, library science and social work.
