What is the connection between Mount Saint Vincent Motherhouse and Mount Saint Vincent University?
Mount Saint Vincent University, at the foot of the hill in Rockingham (in Halifax, NS) was founded by the Sisters of Charity – Halifax as an Academy in 1873. In 1914 it introduced college courses leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1925, as Mount Saint Vincent College, it was empowered to grant its own degrees. In 1966, the College became Mount Saint Vincent University. The Sisters of Charity operated this school until 1988 when the ownership of Mount Saint Vincent University was turned over to its board of governors. The Sisters of Charity are now connected to the University only by their history and by the Sisters’ current roles as University Chancellor, as members of the Board of Governors, and as professors. Mount Saint Vincent Motherhouse is owned and occupied by the Sisters of Charity. It’s not part of the university, but is located just next to the campus.
