There are 11 universities in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Six of these universities – the Atlantic School of Theology, Dalhousie University, Mount Saint Vincent University, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University, Saint Mary's University, and the University of King's College – are located in the Halifax Regional Municipality, the capital of Nova Scotia and the largest urban area in the Atlantic Canada region. Two universities, the Atlantic School of Theology and the University of King's College, do not have graduate level programs. The oldest university in the province is the University of King's College, established in 1789, while the newest university is Cape Breton University, established in 1974. University student enrollment in Nova Scotia ranges from the smallest university, the Atlantic School of Theology, with 140 students, and the largest university, Dalhousie University, with 15,140 students. Dalhousie University is the only university in Nova Scotia that is a member of the Group of Thirteen, a group of leading research-intensive universities in Canada, when it was added to the group (previously named the Group of 10) in April 2006 along with the University of Calgary and University of Ottawa.[1]

Several universities in Nova Scotia have strong religious connections. The University of King's College, first founded in Windsor, holds the distinction of being the first college with university powers in British North America, at a time when Upper Canada had no government of its own. It has always remained under the control of the Church of England. Dalhousie University, first known as Dalhousie College, was established in Halifax in 1820 with the help of the Presbyterian Church, while, Acadia University was founded by Baptists. Catholics formed both Saint Mary's University and Saint Francis Xavier University.[2]
