Bachelor of Communication StudiesMacEwan.ca/CommunicationDegreeSchool of CommunicationsFaculty of Fine Arts and Communications
With career specialization in two major areas, professional communication and journalism, our program will provide you with the skills necessary to excel in a world where effective communication is increasingly important. Apply
today for MacEwan University’s Bachelor of Communication Studies degree.
Major in professional communication or journalism. Develop your critical-thinking and decision-making skills, hone your technical and interpersonal effectiveness, and build a portfolio as proof of your competence.
Communication professionals are in demand. They are a hybrid of researcher, writer, reporter and information worker. The field is forward-looking and interdisciplinary. So is this degree. Prepare for a career that is dynamic and evolving.
Career potential
The degree provides preparation for strategic roles in business, traditional and new media, not-for-profit and public sector organizations: wherever clear, correct and effective messages are valued.
Graduates of MacEwan University’s Bachelor of Communication Studies will have competency in critical problem solving, global awareness and cultural sensitivity, creativity, information and research literacy, and ethical and professional practice. These competencies will bring career success in a variety of positions – writer, editor, researcher, journalist, reporter, marketer, client or community relations practitioner, communications advisor, communications coordinator, public information officer, producer, social media contact, reviewer, analyst, commentator – and in many roles that have yet to be created. In 2008, Statistics Canada projected a rise in employment demand in communication fields, and in 2010, the Government of Alberta reported that hiring is robust for journalists and good for writers and editors.
Program of study
Year one includes common coursework for both professional communication and journalism majors, building a solid foundation in rhetoric, language and composition, visual communication, communication
theory and research methods. Years two and three provide both breadth and depth, allowing students to specialize in editing, strategic or technical communication (professional communication major) or in news gathering and digital media production (journalism major).
Year three’s ethical practice and portfolio course culminates in a month-long professional field placement. Students conclude year four with skills, experience and practical proof of their communication competence. With both theory and practice in communication, students graduate with confidence and expertise.

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

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.

Disability Management in the WorkplaceMacEwan.ca/DisabilityFaculty of Health and Community Studies
Injuries and illnesses are on the rise, costing Canadian businesses hundreds of millions of dollars in lost time and productivity. Disability management professionals
design and implement return-to-work plans for injured/ill workers, ensuring their skills can be adapted to different roles in the organization. Disability management programs help management decrease financial and human costs by getting workers back to the job safely at the earliest opportunity. This online program allows students to balance work and study.
Career potential
Realizing the dramatic toll that
injuries and illnesses are taking on
productivity, progressive employers
are now moving quickly to create
disability management programs in
the workplace. Working in human

work as part of a team.
From large corporations to
government offices, there is a
shortage of well-educated disability
management professionals, so many
opportunities go unfilled. Graduates
will find employment with insurance
companies, unions, manufacturing,
heavy industry and a wide variety of
corporate environments.
Program of study
Courses in interpersonal skills,
legislative foundations, return-to-
work management and professional
ethics give you the entry-level skills
for immediate employment. A focus
on interpersonal communications and
practical workplace field placements
give graduates the skills for rewarding
careers. For full course details, refer

At MacEwan University it’s possible to turn your ideas and dreams toward a rewarding and lasting career. Our Fine Art program is designed to ensure that you become fluent in the visual and creative language, and to prepare you to confidently share your talents in what will become a lifelong journey of learning and making art.

about ideas and artists. You will
have an opportunity to speak with

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.

other students have also successfully transferred to various other universities in Canada and the United States. Please contact the program for details.

The program
Developed in consultation with Alberta Health Services, Edmonton zone, MacEwan University’s Perioperative Nursing for Registered Nurses program is designed for RNs who are interested in pursuing a career in surgical nursing. Nurses in the perioperative field provide care and support to patients before, during, and after surgery. Ultimately, nurses are responsible for maintaining a sterile environment in the operating room, monitoring the patient during surgery and coordinating care throughout the
process.
The courses, offered online with face-to-face lab and clinical practice, provide RNs with the hands-on skills required to work alongside surgeons, and other health care professionals in a challenging, fast-paced and team oriented environment – the operating room.
Students in the Perioperative Nursing for Registered Nurses program come with a diverse base of expertise, from new graduates to seasoned generalists, seeking a new challenge and direction in nursing. Upon successful completion of the program and fulfillment of the clinical hours, nurses are eligible to write the Canadian Nurses Association certification for nursing specialties exam in perioperative nursing.

Career potential
The global nursing shortage, aging
demographics, health-care system
changes and an increase in Canadian
deaths over the next decade create
an unprecedented demand for nurses
who work with both the older adult
and the terminally ill. This certificate
combines the common skill sets
necessary for practice in both
specialty areas. Through evidence-
based theoretical foundations
and interactive activities, nurses
increase their knowledge and skill
in the physical, social, emotional
and spiritual domains of specialized
client care, contribute to educational
competency expectations of their
provincial associations and if desired,
prepare them to write the Canadian
Nurses Association gerontological or
hospice palliative care certification
examinations. Available through online
delivery, this program give nurses the
opportunity to further their education
while fulfilling their professional
commitments. Graduates of this
program are either self-employed
(independent practice) or employed in
continuing care institutions, hospitals,
hospice and home care settings.

The program
The Wound Management post-basic
certificate is the only program of its
kind in Canada, and provides health
care practitioners with the specialty
knowledge and expertise required to
work in a practice setting with patients
who have complex wounds resulting
from a variety of disease pathologies
and factors. The focus of the program
is on the management of all complex
wounds. However, certain populations
that are at greater risk to develop
wounds will be emphasized.
Prevention of the exacerbation of
wounds is covered throughout
the program, and is part of a
standardized approach to wound
management involving all members
of an interdisciplinary wound
management team.
Career potential
As the population ages and produces
a higher number of patients at-risk for
developing complex wounds, there
is an increase in demand for health
care practitioners skilled in complex
wound management.
Post-Basic Certificate Program
The need for skilled professionals in all areas of health care with complex wound care knowledge is increasing. As the population ages, certain patient populations susceptible to complex wounds
increases, such as those with diabetes and ulcers. Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, and physical therapists are just some of the health care professionals who may work with patients requiring the knowledge and skills in caring for complex wounds.
Program of study
The Wound Management post-basic
certificate program builds upon the
education and experience of the
health care practitioner who already
holds the minimum credential of
a diploma.
In order to graduate from the program
with a post-basic certificate, students
must fulfill the requirements within the
following courses:
HLST 350 Principles of Wound
Assessment and Management 3 cr

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.
Approved by MacEwan Board of Governors on June 17, 2004
