Saint Mary's University is a formerly Catholic, public university located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The school is best known for having nationally leading programs in business and chemistry. The campus is situated in Halifax's South End and covers approximately 32 hectares.
Accounting Achievement Awards are available to students who can demonstrate how they have supported one or more elements of the mission statement. Normally, three accounting achievement awards are given each year.
