Relative to large institutions, Mount Allison's undergraduate students are given unparalleled opportunities to engage in hands-on research. Our BSc Honours graduates have substantial experience at the bench, contribute to and author peer-reviewed publications, and go on to successful careers in academia or professional fields.


Mount Allison has a small, MSc level graduate program and like our honours students, our graduate students are given a level of independence over their projects that is not common at many larger schools. MSc students in the MacCormack lab are also provided with opportunities to work internationally with collaborators in Portugal and Brazil.  It's important for students to be pushed out of their comfort zone and to see how research is done elsewhere in the world.
