Université Sainte-Anne is a francophone university in the southwest area of Nova Scotia, Canada.[2] It and the Université de Moncton in New Brunswick are the only French-language universities in the Maritime Provinces.
History
It was founded on September 1, 1890 by Gustave Blanche, a Eudist Father, to facilitate the higher education of Acadians in Nova Scotia. The University was named after Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary.
Its enrolment for the 2005-2006 academic year was around 650-700 students, while in 2014, it had 370 full-time undergraduate students, 140 part-time undergrads, and 20 graduate students. In 2003, the provincial government merged the university with Collège de l'Acadie, a French-language community college with campuses throughout Nova Scotia.
