Innovative University Programs
Programs offered at other universities may serve to start conversations and generate ideas as StFX community members engage in the academic planning exercise. While these programs may not be directly applicable to StFX, reviewing what is happening at other institutions may encourage us to think creatively about what StFX could offer our students.
The programs presented here are simply offered as examples. If there are other programs that you would like to see included, please send a link to gsampson@stfx.ca, and we will add them to the list:
