About the course
Acadia’s Community Development professors share knowledge, provide service, and develop leaders who work for a healthy and just society. Choosing to study community development will help you develop the skills needed to improve quality of life for others and to build active, healthy, sustainable communities. You may choose to maintain a broad focus or specialize in one of four areas: recreation management, community wellness, social activism, and outdoor and adventure education. Honours is a challenging degree for strong students in which you work 1-1 with a faculty supervisor to design, carry out and write a research thesis in additon to undertaking all of the standard requirements for a Bachelor of Community Development degree. Honours students also complete an additional higher level research methods course. Honours students can apply for an honours scholarship in their third year which enables them to receive funding to do their research in the summer between their third and fourth years. Those interested in honours should consult the program head or individual faculty members.Intake Months
