Fabjola Gera • Bachelor of Commerce (International Business), second year

What’s next? After graduation I plan to apply to Faculty of Law at the University of Alberta.

After going to MacEwan’s Open House, I preferred the feel of “the MacEwan community.” MacEwan is great for

so many reasons, and the first is that everyone is so willing to help. The faculty really make an effort to get to

know you and make sure you are aware of the resources available to you. Overall I feel like MacEwan was the

best choice I could have made and I’m really being prepared to achieve my goals!

Not only does MacEwan nurture and help you choose the path that’s right for you, but the advisors are always there to help you evaluate all of your options.

Alberta is located in Western Canada and is approximately 1,000 kilometres east from the Pacific Ocean. It has the fastest growing and strongest economy in Canada and produces 90 per cent of the country’s petroleum resources.

In addition to the province’s breathtaking views, abundant natural resources and limitless potential, Albertans rank among the most highly educated, productive and innovative people in North America.

About CanadaCanada welcomes more than 130,000 international students each year who contribute to the growth of Canada as a cultural mosaic. There are many reasons why students consider continuing their

Known as Canada’s Festival City, Edmonton’s festivals present internationally recognized cultural events all year round. Also known as the City of Champions, Edmontonians enjoy and support professional and amateur teams and play host to a variety of world class sporting events, enjoy the benefits of the surrounding prairie and parklands as well as the short travel distance to the majestic Rocky Mountains.

About AlbertaChinooks, coulees, ancient dinosaur beds, Rocky Mountains, tumbling glaciers, a booming economy, three million people and no provincial sales tax are some of the characteristics used to describe Alberta.

education in Canada. The United Nations has consistently ranked Canada as one of the top 10 countries in which to live, learn and work. Students enjoy Canada’s breath-taking natural beauty including the Rocky Mountains, numerous national and provincial parks and our four distinct seasons. Canada is a multicultural society, where customs and traditions are respected and valued.

In addition, Canada’s education system is excellent and degrees earned in Canadian colleges and universities are internationally recognized because they are subject to strict governing standards. As a bilingual and multicultural society, Canada is also a world leader in second language training programs.

MacEwan is the perfect place for any student coming from another country.Esosa Igbinosun Bachelor of Science (Biological Sciences), fourth year

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.

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. (see page 17)

University transferStart your university studies at MacEwan

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.

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.

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 and human service administration.

Careers – diplomas and certificatesMacEwan offers over 40 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.

MacEwan Programs

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 to take on the challenge of a university program.

MacEwan is accessible, accommodating and inviting. It’s an innovative place and is very student-focused.

David Drohan Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), second year

What’s next?

Graduate school. I’d like to work in either clinical or organizational/industrial psychology.

Things like alternative intakes, small class sizes, accommodating faculty who know your name—and great reviews from friends—all influenced my decision to seek my education at MacEwan. Combine that with all the opportunities to get involved in the university, and you’ve got something special.

Since being elected into the Students’ Association executive, I’ve really come to realize how big a role services like the housing registry, the library and IT services have played in my education.

What’s next? Medical school at the University of Alberta, and if that doesn’t work out then I’ve been accepted to go

teach English in Japan for a year.

I initially chose MacEwan because tuition was lower and I liked the smaller class sizes. I stayed because I felt like I was

getting more from my education than just knowledge from a classroom. I’ve enjoyed volunteering and getting involved in

University Entrance Programming

16

MacEwan University Studies Internationalwww.MacEwan.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 diploma or degree-related program, whether those requirements relate to English language or academic profi ciency. 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 profi ciency 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’s 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 profi ciency for MacEwan

programs can be satisfi ed by

completing a TOEFL, IELTS, or other

equivalent test at the specifi ed levels

required for admission, or by attaining

the required grade in MacEwan’s

ENGL 086 English language

preparation course.

All MacEwan USI students are

expected to consult regularly with

the MacEwan USI academic advisor

to ensure they are undertaking the

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 fi eld. First-year courses focus

on acquiring a foundational understanding of the criminal justice system, including a study of the Canadian Criminal Code and other relevant legislation, an overview of correctional policies and procedures, interpersonal communication courses, as well as criminology, sociology and restorative justice.

In addition, students learn how to work effectively with specifi c offender populations while exploring topics such as substance abuse intervention, diversity and crisis intervention. 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 education experiences that prepare students for their future career within a correctional institution, government criminal justice agency or other agency dealing with justice-related issues.

Musicwww.MacEwan.ca/musicCentre for the Arts and Communications

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 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.

58

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.


Transferability

There are many roads a MacEwan Music diploma graduate can travel. You’ll be ready to hit the ground running after two years, but you may also want the option to continue your studies. In addition to possible admission to the MacEwan Bachelor of Music degree, MacEwan Music has set up some of the best transfer agreements to a number of the most exclusive jazz and contemporary music schools in the world.

Internationally, graduates have successfully transferred to the prestigious Berklee College of Music

It’s impossible to predict how

successful you will be as a performer,

but after two years, MacEwan Theatre

Arts graduates leave with an honest

view of themselves as actors, as well

as marketable skills for a demanding

industry. One of the most exciting

aspects of the program is where

students go after graduating. With

nearly endless possibilities, our

graduates continue to be well placed

in the professional world and continue

to work in live theatre productions and

festivals, dinner theatres, television,

fi lm and cruise ship entertainment.

You are an actor. You have passion, a purpose. You know where you belong. You are ready for a career that’s a bit out of the ordinary and full of possibilities.

You want to choose a program that will train you to be a versatile, self-suffi cient artist. Over the last 30 years, our Theatre Arts program has earned a reputation for its quality and depth — producing triple threats: passionate actors who sing and dance. Our goal is to help you explore the boundaries of your own creative potential and to prepare you for any professional opportunity. You will leave our program with an honest view of yourself as an actor, as well as marketable skills for a diffi cult and demanding industry.

You will study play analysis, theatre

aesthetics, music theory, ear training,

stage combat, period and style work,

and audition technique.

The studio courses continue in your

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 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.

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.
