2010 2011 Classification of High School CoursesFor nearly 40 years, MacEwan has been providing education for a changing world.

And we’ve changed along with it.

MacEwan has grown – we are now Alberta’s newest university, serving nearly 11,000 full-time students. But in the things that matter, we remain the same. We’re innovative. We value teaching and learning. We’re highly engaged with our students. And we are unwavering in our quest to inspire and challenge.

We remain focused on our students – providing them with choices and opportunities for success with a dynamic mix of certificate, diploma, degree transfer, applied degree and undergraduate degree programs.

Welcome to Grant MacEwan University.

Are you ready to be noticed?We encourage small class sizes. And our faculty are experienced and well-respected in their fields. Most importantly, they’re accessible. Put these together and you get the extra attention and interaction that sparks creative ideas and new ways of thinking.

Do you crave experience?A post-secondary education is a life-changing experience. It’s an opportunity for you to encounter new things, meet new people, and immerse yourself in a culture with a vibrant pulse – competitive athletics… art shows… theatre productions… international student events…clubs… a dynamic Students’ Association, and more. Much, much, more.

Want an education that works?We give you the practical tools that open doors in the job market – in 2009, 95 per cent of our grads found jobs in their field. Plus, you’ll get the quality academic foundation to go on to further studies. In fact, many MacEwan grads are continuing their education in graduate-level programs at institutions around the world including the United Kingdom, France and the United States.

So, it’s no wonder that 95 per cent of our students are satisfied with the quality of their education at MacEwan.

Looking for a different university experience?

We have a program for that.

We know planning your future isn’t easy. There are lots of choices and decisions to make; some difficult, some not-so difficult. The bottom line? You need an education that’s right for you.

Take the time to find out about us – who we are, what we offer and where you can go from here – we’re certain you’ll find what you’re looking for at MacEwan.

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

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

Bachelor degreesYour degree, your choice

From start to finish, MacEwan offers students more choice. Now you can earn your baccalaureate degree right here.

Providing increased access to quality education through four-year degrees was a natural progression for MacEwan. We’re already established as the number one transfer institution in the province, so this simply means more options for you.

All of our degree programs have undergone an in-depth and rigorous review to ensure that they meet both national and international quality standards.

University transferStart your university studies at MacEwan

Take the first one or two years of your baccalaureate degree at MacEwan, then transfer to another institution. As you learn in smaller classes with respected faculty members who know you by name, you will gain the confidence you need to take the next steps.

Applied degreesThe ultimate in well-rounded education

Applied degrees combine three years of academic study with one year of paid on-the-job experience – creating a ‘learning laboratory’ that allows you to hone your skills in the real world and kick-start your career.

Careers – diplomas and certificatesGet in, get out and get working

Complete a career-related program in one or two years with a marketable credential, and you’ll be prepared to enter the work force with expertise and a solid skill set that employers expect. Most of MacEwan’s career programs have transfer agreements with other learning institutions in Alberta and beyond.

Post-diploma certificatesReal education for a real world

Continue your professional development at MacEwan. Our post-diploma certificates in nursing and business are geared for those who have successfully completed two or more years of post-secondary education and want to take their career to the next level.

Part-time, distance and online deliveryFit learning around your life

We know that full-time education is not always an option. That’s why MacEwan works hard to create learning opportunities to suit your busy schedule, including part-time study, compressed schedules, alternative intakes, and print-based and online distance delivery options. We’re also a member of eCampusAlberta, a province-wide initiative that currently offers more than 300 credentials courses and 30 programs 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.

Success for Students

Through advocacy and support, the Students’ Association (SA MacEwan) provides opportunities that advance student success. SA MacEwan strives to guarantee the strongest possible voice for the students of MacEwan at the university’s Board of Governors and several other committees.

An elected Students’ Council, containing four executive members and 12 student representatives, represents MacEwan students. The executive and council are responsible for decisions on the priorities, vision and direction of the association, and are supported by both full- and part-time staff members.

In addition to providing excellent entertainment events for students on all MacEwan campuses, SA MacEwan provides a complete health and dental plan, and administers the Universal

Transit Pass (U-Pass), a mandatory fee-based service that entitles MacEwan students to unlimited use of Edmonton and area public transit services from September through April. The association also provides key student-focused services – Safe Walk, Peer Support, Global Projects, Student Food Bank, SWAT (Social Wellness Awareness Team) and our charity Adopt-A-Family – that are available to all MacEwan students.

Student Life

Drake Ferguson • Police and Investigations (Investigative Studies, 2010)

I came to MacEwan for its great policing program and amazing instructors.

I can tell from their stories that they are speaking from experience.

It’s big enough to get the university experience, but not so big that you get overwhelmed or the university stops caring about you.

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 specializeinChineseHerbology.

in a spa area or athletic club,

cruise ships, and corporate or on-site

work opportunities.

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 the 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.

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.

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.

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 BachelorofAppliedHumanServiceAdministration 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.

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.

The Program

Developed in consultation with Alberta HealthServices,Edmontonzone,MacEwan’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 fi eld 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 and through distance delivery, 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 fulfi llment of the clinical hours, nurses are eligible to write the Canadian Nurses Association certifi cation for nursing specialties exam in perioperative nursing.

Career potential

Due to an aging workforce and the growing demand for health care, the need for nurses in the specialty of perioperative nursing has never been stronger.

Program of study

The Operating Room Nurses Association of Canada (ORNAC) and the Canadian Nurses Association list of competencies for the Registered Perioperative Nurse provide the framework of study for the program which orientates the student to both theoretical knowledge and clinical skills.


Are you a Registered Nurse (RN) who is looking to expand your skills and is seeking a new challenge and direction? Perioperative nursing could be your

next step. The Perioperative Registered Nurse functions in a number of diverse roles in the surgical environment including scrubbing, circulating, management of patient care and conducting research.

THE PROGRAM

The Wound Management post-basic

certifi cate 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 emphasised.

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 Certifi cate 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

certifi cate 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 certifi cate, students

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.

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 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.
