Duong (Saldon) Huynh • Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing), first year

What’s next: I plan to gain some relevant work experience over the next couple of years, then return to apply what I’ve

learned in my home country.

All of the professors are friendly and the staff at MacEwan University’s International office were very helpful. All of my

questions were answered quickly and the advisors gave me many helpful tips for choosing an appropriate program that

fits my interests. The facilities are also fantastic – the classrooms are equipped with new technology, and the fitness

centre makes me love to go to the gym everyday!

As an international student, I really appreciated the university’s flexibility and assistance with the English language proficiency requirements.

I don’t want to just further my future and create a career. I want to feel like I am connected and contributing to something bigger and better – MacEwan University gives me lots of opportunities to do just that.

Brittany-Ann Pitruniak Arts and Cultural Management diploma, second year Bachelor of Communications Studies, first year

What’s next?

I am planning to pursue a career in the field of public relations and hope to propel myself to work internationally through the relationships I’ve established through my program.

Having professors who are both knowledgeable and passionate about their areas of expertise, and who are approachable and personal with their students, creates a relaxing environment. Being able to have a professional relationship with instructors eases the stress of university and enables you to grow not only as a student, but also as an individual. They encourage you to find something you are passionate about and leave your mark in this world.

MacEwan University Studies InternationalMacEwan University Studies International (MacEwan USI) is a bridging program designed to provide international students the opportunity to complete the admission requirements needed to enter a MacEwan University diploma or degree-related programs, whether those requirements relate to English language or academic proficiency. (see page 17)

DegreesComplete your full degree at MacEwan University

MacEwan University students are now able to earn four-year undergraduate baccalaureate degrees without transferring to another institution. Providing increased access to quality education by offering four-year degrees was a natural progression for us. We’re already established as the number one transfer institution in the province, so the ability to offer baccalaureate degrees simply means more options for you, the student.

After undergoing in-depth and rigorous reviews to ensure that they meet both national and international quality standards, MacEwan University now offers full four-year Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Communication Studies, Bachelor of Child and Youth Care, Bachelor of Music in Jazz and Contemporary Popular Music, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees.

Applied degreesThe ultimate in well-rounded education, applied degrees combine three years of academic study with one year of paid on-the-job experience. The work placement is used as a “learning laboratory,” with students keeping close contact with

their instructors while contributing to a company’s performance. This allows you to hone your skills in the real world and kick start your career.

MacEwan University currently offers applied degrees in accounting and human service administration.

University transferStart your degree studies at MacEwan University

Many students prefer to make the transition from high school to university at a smaller, teaching-focused undergraduate institution and then move to a larger research-centred university to complete their education. You can take the first one or two years of your baccalaureate degree in one of MacEwan’s university transfer programs and then transfer to another institution to earn your degree. Whatever your next steps, you can begin with one of the most successful transfer programs in Canada.

Careers – diplomas and certificatesWe offer more than 50 programs in health, human services, the performing and visual arts, and business. Complete a career-related program in one to three years with a marketable credential and a solid skill set that employers expect. When you leave, you’ll be prepared to enter the work force with expertise, and you’ll have the skills you need to keep your career moving forward.

Many of our career programs have transfer agreements with degree programs at MacEwan University or other learning institutions in Alberta and beyond. So whether you’re ready to jump into a career or want to build up your credentials, a diploma or certificate program might be right for you.

MacEwan University Programs

MacEwan University offers the most personalized education possible. Learning in smaller classes, with respected faculty members who know you by name, will give you the confidence to take on the challenge of a university program.

MacEwan University encourages students to participate in all its activities and programs. It’s a place that values, and respects cultural diversity and goes out of its way in adjusting to students from different heritages to meet their learning needs.

Jose Tovillo Bachelor of Science in Nursing, second year

What’s next:

After graduation, I am planning to work in a hospital and practice what I learned and work towards a master’s degree in nursing.

You hear a lot of positive remarks about this university. And they’re definitely true! As English is not my first language, writing scholarly papers was challenging. During my first year, I got involved with the MacEwan Ambassador Program to hone my leadership skills, and in the process learned about all the services available for students – from admissions advising to career help. Working with a writing and learning skills specialist helped me a lot with my papers!

Rebecca Cardinal • Correctional Services diploma, second year

What’s next: My plans are to further my education and get my degree in criminal justice or criminology.

It’s a smaller, more personal university, and the instructors are available and do make the time to make

appointments with students. The resources available for students, such as the tutoring and the library team,

are great. So are the staff and the elder in the Aboriginal Education Centre. They are a great support and help

ease the anxiety, frustration and stress of transitioning into university life.

University Entrance Programming

16

MacEwan University Studies InternationalMacEwan.ca/USI

Many international students lack some of the admission requirements needed to directly

enter a degree or diploma program of study. MacEwan University Studies International (MacEwan USI) provides international students the opportunity to complete the admission requirements needed to enter a MacEwan University diploma or degree-related program, whether those requirements relate to English language or academic proficiency. As part of their MacEwan USI program, students may complete some of the course work that forms part of their future goal diploma or degree.

Program of Study

Depending on their language and

educational background, students

may begin their MacEwan USI

program in one of the following three

categories:

1. Full-time English language

preparation (Standard Entry

English). International students

who have a low level of English

language proficiency as indicated

by an iBt TOEFL score below 70

or an IELTS score less than 5.5

will begin their MacEwan USI

program by taking full-time ESL

course work. Students who have

not completed a TOEFL or IELTS

test will be placed in an appropriate

level of ESL study based on

MacEwan University’s English

Language Placement Test.

2. Full-time high school course

work (Standard Entry

Secondary). International students

needing to complete three or

more high school courses that are

required for admission to their goal

program will begin their MacEwan

USI program by completing these

necessary courses.

3. Advanced Entry. International

students who require less than

full-time English preparation or

full-time secondary studies may

undertake some post-secondary

course work that forms part of the

curriculum of their goal program,

while at the same time completing

the necessary English language

preparation or secondary course

work needed to enter that program.

Students are considered to have

completed the MacEwan USI program

when they have completed the

admission requirements to their goal

program. Under most circumstances

this would be expected to take no

more than one to two years. English

language proficiency for MacEwan

University programs can be satisfied

by completing a TOEFL, IELTS, or

other equivalent test at the specified

levels required for admission, or

by attaining the required grade in

MacEwan University’s ENGL 086/087

English language preparation courses.

All MacEwan USI students are

expected to consult regularly with

the MacEwan USI academic advisor

to ensure they are undertaking the

Career potential

The Bachelor of Music in Jazz and

Contemporary Popular Music (B.Mus.)

is an academic degree that prepares

students for the music profession and

further studies at the graduate level.

For almost 40 years, the MacEwan

University Music diploma program

has been training some of Canada’s

most talented musicians. Our Music

diploma graduates have gone on

to pursue careers as songwriters,

performers, accompanists, arrangers,

composers, record producers,

distributors and sound technicians,

to name just a few.

Program of study

The B.Mus. program offers three

majors: performance (voice, piano/

keyboard, bass, drums/percussion,

guitar or winds), composition and

general. Students in the General route

may pursue one of two unique minors:

music technology and production or

music career management.

At MacEwan University, classroom

work, group work, practice, rehearsals

and performances all serve to help

you develop a level of comfort in your

field, so you can pursue your dream

with confidence and expertise.

In your first year, you’ll cover the

basics with individual instrumental

or vocal lessons, improvisation,

ear training, the history of jazz

and popular music, theory and an

opportunity to participate in one of

our many performance ensembles.

Then, starting in your second

year you’ll begin focusing on one

of the program’s three majors –

performance, composition or general.

Private instruction is offered for a

number of instruments including

guitar, piano, drums/percussion,

bass (electric and acoustic), winds

and voice.

With many different performance

opportunities including major public

performances, recitals, coffeehouses,

jam sessions and your own gigs, you

will quickly turn that raw potential into

real, practical skills.

AcupunctureMacEwan.ca/acupuncture Faculty of Health and Community Studies

Acupuncture is one of the oldest health disciplines in the world. In Western culture, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has surged

in popularity over the past decade, creating exciting opportunities for graduates of this unique program. Acupuncturists view disease as an imbalance in the body’s energy, which flows along well-defined pathways called meridians. By inserting very thin acupuncture needles in specific points along these meridians, a well-trained acupuncturist intends to normalize the flow of energy and prevent or treat illness by initiating the body’s own healing mechanisms.

Continuing education

MacEwan offers continuing education for acupuncturists who wish to specialize in Chinese Herbology.

Transferability

Graduates have a wide range of continuing education options, ranging from ongoing study in specialty areas to undergraduate and graduate study at institutes and universities both nationally and internationally. Graduates of this diploma program are eligible to apply for admission to the Bachelor of Health Science and General Studies degree programs at Thompson Rivers University.

Correctional ServicesMacEwan.ca/correctionsFaculty of Health and Community Studies

The Correctional Services diploma offers a comprehensive education that provides graduates with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to prepare them for a career in the criminal justice field. First-year courses focus

on acquiring a foundational understanding of the Canadian criminal justice system, including a study of relevant legislation, an overview of correctional policies and procedures, interpersonal communication courses, as well as criminology, sociology, restorative justice and addictions. Second-year studies build on that theory base with skill development courses such as counselling, case management and psychology. Students learn how to work effectively with specific offender populations while exploring topics such as diversity, youth and crime, and gangs. Reinforcing this academic base, students are provided with an opportunity to put theory into practice through two work integrated learning placements that provide hands-on educational experiences that prepare students for their future career within a correctional centre, government criminal justice agency or other community organization dealing with justice-related issues.

Career potential

Graduates of the Correctional Services

program work in all areas of the

criminal justice system, and career

The program has an exceptional

employment rate, and with the large

number of anticipated retirements in

MacEwan University’s Massage Therapy diploma offers comprehensive clinical education aimed at developing well-rounded massage therapists able to practice in a wide range of medical and therapeutic environments. While massage has

enjoyed thousands of years of history as a healing art, advances in our understanding of human functioning combined with a growing responsibility for personal health has elevated massage therapy to an important health profession recognized for its ability to aid in the treatment of chronic diseases, acute injuries and a wide range of medical conditions.

With an international reputation for excellence, the Massage Therapy program features extensive clinical experience, opening up opportunities to work across Canada and around the world. Part-time study options let you move through the program at your own pace.

Graduates are eligible to become a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) through a provincial association.

and the health care community, the

profession can be seen as having

include an office in their own home, in

a clinic or centre with other massage

professionals, or with other health

care professionals (e.g., physicians,

physiotherapists, chiropractors,

nutritionists, psychologists), home

visits, athletic and sports massage,

in a spa area or athletic club,

cruise ships, and corporate or on-site

work opportunities.

Program of study

The Massage Therapy diploma offers

a unique blend of scientific theory

and clinical practice on a full-time or

part-time basis. Designed to facilitate

the student’s growth as a health care

professional, the program teaches

techniques applied to the assessment

and treatment of stress, pain, and a

variety of physical conditions. With

challenging courses in anatomy,

A career in music is one that is full of possibilities and a bit out of the ordinary. There is something about dedicating your life to music that can be extremely rewarding and very challenging. You know where you belong. You are a musician.

But before the gigs and record deals, every talented and passionate musician has to start somewhere. You need to learn more than just the basics, you need training that will support you the rest of your creative life.

MacEwan University focuses on jazz, rock and pop, so you have the freedom to explore your own interests – making us one of the only post-secondary schools in Western Canada to offer such a diverse learning experience.

Because the level of skill, training and musical literacy required of musicians in contemporary and commercial music is constantly rising, our two-year diploma program is designed to provide you with the world-class academic and performance training you’ll need to be successful. Additionally, we are now offering a four-year Bachelor of Music in Jazz and Contemporary Popular Music degree.

MacEwan University’s Music diploma graduates have gone on to pursue careers as songwriters, performers, accompanists, arrangers, composers, record producers and distributors, and sound technicians, to name just a few.

Program of study

At MacEwan University, classroom work, group work, practice, rehearsals, and performances all serve to help you develop a level of comfort in your field, so you can pursue your dream with confidence and expertise.

In your first year, you’ll cover the basics with individual instrumental or vocal lessons, improvisation, ear training, the history of jazz and popular music, and theory. Then, in your second year, you’ll get to focus one of the program’s four areas of specialization – composition, performance, recording technology, or comprehensive music studies. Private

instruction is offered for a number of instruments including guitar, piano, drums, bass (electric and acoustic), winds, and voice.

With many different performance opportunities including major public performances, recitals, coffeehouses, jam sessions and your own gigs, you will quickly turn that raw potential into real, practical skills.

A career in theatre production requires creativity, accuracy and determination. Following two intense years of study in MacEwan University’s Theatre Production program, you’ll have the skill set and experience you need to market yourself in a thriving industry.

Conditionally accepted applicants are required to complete Standard First Aid certification by the beginning of the intake term.




Theatre ProductionMacEwan.ca/productionCentre for the Arts and Communications

Career potential

There is a growing demand in the theatre industry for passionate, competent, responsible technicians who aren’t afraid of hard work. Over the past 30 years, our program has produced hundreds of lighting and sound technicians, set and costume technicians and builders, stage managers, production managers, technical directors, and other theatre professionals. Alumni work on cruise lines, in stage, film, television, festivals, concerts, special events, and other venues in Canada, the United States and abroad. Our graduates have played key roles locally at the Citadel Theatre and Winspear Centre and nationally with the renowned Stratford Festival in Ontario.

Program of study

At MacEwan University, we believe a well-rounded technician is an employable technician. The better you understand the entire industry, the more marketable you will be. Your first year is spent touching on every aspect of technical production – from stagecraft and set painting to drafting and rigging. In your second year, more than two-thirds of your courses can be dedicated to a specialization. So whether you are fascinated with lighting and sound, or prefer to learn the basics of wardrobe, MacEwan

University gives you exposure to all areas.

At MacEwan University, the goal is to learn by doing. As a student in the Theatre Production program, you will work on productions staged by students in MacEwan University’s Theatre Arts and Music programs, and sometimes outside groups who rent our 363-seat John L. Haar Theatre. Each year you will also have several opportunities to become actively involved in community productions, especially during Edmonton’s busy summer festival season.

The Theatre Production program utilizes laptop integrated delivery. All students will be required to have a laptop for daily classroom use. Hardware and software requirements are available from the program office at 780-497-4393.


Transferability

After finishing this exciting program, you will certainly have the training to gain access to the industry at an entry level, but you may also want to continue your studies. That’s why MacEwan University has established a

transfer agreement with the University of Alberta and the University of Lethbridge. Many other students have also successfully transferred to various other universities in Canada and the United States. Please contact the program for details.

Educational Philosophy Statement

At Grant MacEwan University, teaching and learning are our priorities. We value the legacy of Dr. Grant MacEwan and strive to emulate his example of service, stewardship, and life-long learning in our student-centred environment.

We believe that learning occurs through exploration and questioning, in an environment of mutual respect and collaboration. Learning is enriched by interactions among instructors and students whose diverse life experiences, cultures, ethnicities, religions, and abilities are acknowledged and respected.

We are committed to scholarship and the maintenance of high academic standards. We believe that learners benefit from their association with educators and staff who demonstrate integrity and purpose, leadership in their fields, and passion for their work.

We endeavour to enhance our students’ capacity to live well-balanced, productive lives as citizens of our interconnected world. Our links with communities beyond the university – academic and professional, local and international – ensure the relevance of learning activities and enable students to move confidently into the workforce or on to further educational opportunities.
