Graduate Research

While StFX is best known for its strong tradition as a primarily undergraduate university, graduate students are a vital component of the StFX academic community. Graduate students enhance the StFX academic programs and contribute significantly to teaching, student mentorship, and research excellence.  Graduate students can excel in an intimate, primarily undergraduate university setting.
