Collège de l'Acadie was a Francophone post-secondary community college in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island with headquarters in the community of Tusket. Its Nova Scotia operations are now part of Université Sainte-Anne while its operations in Prince Edward Island were renamed Collège Acadie Île-du-Prince-Édouard and later Collège de l'Île.
History
[edit]Collège de l'Acadie was founded in August 1988 in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia as the Francophone community college for that province. It subsequently expanded to Prince Edward Island in the 1990s under a joint-funding agreement between the two provincial governments. In 2003, the Nova Scotia operations of Collège de l'Acadie were merged with Université Sainte-Anne.[1] The PEI operations became Collège de l'Île.
Its main campus and administration were headquartered in Tusket with satellite campuses in Francophone regions throughout Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island until its merger with Sainte-Anne.
