Educational Philosophy Statement

At MacEwan, 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 benefi t from their association with educators and staff who demonstrate integrity and purpose, leadership in their fi elds, 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 confi dently into the workforce or on to further educational opportunities.

Peter Jaffray • Bachelor of Commerce (International Business, 2010)

Living in the MacEwan Residence helped me transition back into school after serving with the Canadian

Armed Forces in Bosnia and Afghanistan. I really enjoyed the opportunities to be involved in learning

experiences outside the classroom – and, as team leader for Team MacEwan’s entry into the Manitoba

International Marketing Competition, I was thrilled to learn that we won it for the first time in 28 years!

MacEwan provides lots of learning experiences outside the classroom.

Samantha Sperber First year, Bachelor of ScienceComing from a small town and a small community high school, the jump to post-secondary was daunting. With MacEwan, the transition was perfect. The atmosphere here is friendly, the small class sizes offer a more personal learning experience, and the instructors are always willing to offer extra help and support. Living in residence helped a lot, too – I met a lot of new people and made many lifelong friends. I had a fantastic first-year experience at MacEwan!

At MacEwan, you are more than just a face in the classroom – you are a student with a name.

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 MacEwan diploma or degree-related programs, whether those requirements relate to English language or academic proficiency.

University transferStart your university studies at MacEwan

MacEwan offers the most personalized education possible. Learning in smaller classes, with respected faculty members who know you by name, will give you the confidence you need to take the next steps. You can take the first one or two years of your baccalaureate degree at MacEwan, and then transfer to another institution. Whatever your next steps, you can begin with one of the most successful transfer programs in the country.

DegreesComplete your university studies at MacEwan

MacEwan 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 MacEwan. 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 met both national and international quality standards, MacEwan 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.

MacEwan Programs

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 MacEwan 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 currently offers applied degrees in accounting, professional writing and human services.

Careers – diplomas and certificatesMacEwan offers over 50 programs in health, human services, the performing and visual arts, business, criminal justice, leadership and communications. 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 MacEwan’s career programs have transfer agreements with degree programs at MacEwan 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.

Distance and online deliveryWith hundreds of courses and more than a dozen full credentials available, MacEwan is a leader in distance and online education. We’re also a member of eCampusAlberta, a province-wide initiative that currently offers more than 25 credentials through online study.

MacEwan is the perfect place for any student coming from another country.Esosa Igbinosun Third year, Bachelor of Science, biological sciences major

The student population is not as large as some other universities, and that is an advantage for international students. The smaller class sizes make it easier to establish a student-instructor relationship, which helps you get individual attention and exposure to research opportunities you might not get elsewhere. This has been a key reason for my academic success.

Acupuncturewww.MacEwan.ca/acupuncture Faculty of Health and Community Studies

With 5,000 years of history, 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 fl ows along well-defi ned pathways called meridians. By inserting very thin acupuncture needles in specifi c points along these meridians, a well-trained acupuncturist intends to normalize the fl ow 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 study at institutes and universities both nationally and internationally.

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 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 program is designed to provide you with tshe world-class academic and performance training you’ll need to be successful. Beginning in September 2011, we will also be offering a four-year Bachelor of Music in Jazz and Contemporary Popular Music degree.

Career potential

For more than 30 years, we have been training some of Canada’s most talented musicians to be fl exible in terms of their playing and range of skills so they can enjoy a sustained career in the music industry. MacEwan Music 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, classroom work, group work, practice, rehearsals, and performances all serve to help you develop a level of comfort in your fi eld, so you can pursue your dream with confi dence and expertise.

In your fi rst 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, coffee houses, jam sessions and your own gigs, you will quickly turn that raw potential into real, practical skills.

Public Relations is a vibrant, dynamic fi eld in the business environment simply because organizations are being challenged by their

publics — clients, shareholders, communities, employees — to do a better job of communicating. The role of the public relations practitioner is to help organizations send messages their publics want and need to receive.

The Public Relations diploma provides a unique opportunity for people with previous post-secondary education to launch an exciting career in less than a year. In fact, the diploma has earned a nation-wide reputation for providing a solid foundation for entry-level communications positions in all sectors and for specialized professional training for those already working in the profession.

Program of study

The diploma focuses on skill

development in three areas:

research, writing and communication

technology. Other courses include

public relations theory and

planning, media relations, internal

communications, and integrated

marketing communications. Following

classroom studies, students are

placed in a variety of organizations to

gain valuable workplace experience.

MacEwan has earned a reputation for graduating compassionate, professional social workers for more than 35 years. Social workers are

able to assess and respond to human problems at both an individual and a social, structural level. This requires a certain type of individual: one who is open-minded, empathetic, tolerant and committed to building strong communities.

The Social Work curriculum consists of a strong academic approach to social work theory and practice, complemented by a number of university transfer electives and field placements. With dedicated faculty, a student-centred approach to learning, and the flexibility to partially complete many courses online, the Social Work diploma prepares students to become Registered Social Workers (RSW) through the Alberta College of Social Workers.

A D M I S S I O N

Transferability

After two years, you can graduate with a diploma, apply to become an RSW and move directly into the workplace.

Social Work has established transfer arrangements with the University of Calgary (offered in Edmonton), University of Victoria (distance delivery), Thompson Rivers University (Kamloops), University of the Fraser Valley (Abbotsford) and with other programs at MacEwan, including the Bachelor of Applied Human Service Administration degree and Bachelor of Child and Youth Care. Other post-secondary institutions throughout Western Canada may also consider credit transfers. Please contact university social work schools directly for information on transfer agreements.

Theatre Productionwww.MacEwan.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 working 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, fi lm, 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, we believe a well-rounded technician is an employable technician. The better you understand the entire industry, the more marketable you will be. Your fi rst year is spent touching on every aspect of technical production – from set construction and prop making to set changes and stage management. 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 gives you exposure to all areas.

At MacEwan, 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’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 offi ce at 780-497-4393.


Transferability

After fi nishing 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 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.

Prepare for a career working with words. In a world where effective communication is increasingly important, skilful and creative writers

are in high demand. They write winning ad copy, rousing speeches, and compelling feature stories. They craft messages that teach, infl uence, and entertain. Their work isn’t limited to paper. Writers’ words are conveyed as often through bits and bytes and pixels as ink. Words are written for eyes and ears. They are broadcast. They are spoken. And those professionals who aren’t producing new work are often employed editing the words others have written.

Study options

You can study Professional Writing

four ways:

1. Complete three years of study and two terms of paid workplace learning and exit with a Bachelor of Applied Communications in Professional Writing degree.

2. Complete years I and II of the program and exit with a diploma in professional writing.

Educational Philosophy Statement

At MacEwan, 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 benefi t from their association with educators and staff who demonstrate integrity and purpose, leadership in their fi elds, 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 confi dently into the workforce or on to further educational opportunities.
