Thanks for your interest in Crandall University! I hope that this book will begin to give you a sense of who we are and the quality educational experience we’d like to offer you. Here’s a bit about my story and the way god used Crandall University to change me.

In the 1980s I graduated from high school as what I would describe as a relatively able but disinterested student. I arrived at Crandall University as a student and as early as my first semester of study much in my life began to change. at Crandall I developed a deep love for academic study along with the foundational skills necessary for university success. This greatly helped me and several years later I was completing a masters degree at Harvard University! Recently, I asked myself what the ingredients of a Crandall education were that led to such a transformation in my life. Here are a few of them:

Small size: at many of the larger universities in Canada, undergraduate classrooms are filled with hundreds of students and many first year classes have more than a thousand students. at Crandall most of our second, third, and fourth year classes have less than 20 students. This means that your professors will know your name and be better able to coach and guide you through your years of study. This kind of interest and mentoring is key to student academic success.

Top quality faculty: We’ve worked hard to recruit excellent professors. our instructors have earned advanced degrees at some of the world’s most prestigious research universities: from Notre dame, Columbia, and Harvard in the United States, to Toronto, UbC, mcmaster, Western, and Queens in Canada, and a variety of british universities. our professors have traveled and lectured widely. They have published extensively, and have worked in some pretty exciting roles prior to joining our team. Coming to a smaller university means that you can get to know your professors personally and tap into their background, experience, and expertise.

Christian identity: Crandall’s mission is to “transform lives through quality university education firmly rooted in the Christian faith”. We’ve been able to achieve this mission largely as a result of our ability to attract highly qualified Christian faculty and staff. our Christian identity is key to the quality education we offer. The sense of call and commitment to a shared identity and mission comes through in their teaching and service of our faculty and staff. as a student you will feel the difference that such a commitment makes.

The world is a big place and you can expect to do well in terms of employment and advanced study opportunities when you use Crandall University as your launching pad. We hope that you will allow us to invest in you and help get you off on the right foot as you begin to prepare for a life of meaning and purposeful service.

If you have not yet applied for admission, I hope that you will contact our admissions office ([email protected]) and set up a date for a visit to our beautiful campus. I’m confident you’ll be impressed by the quality educational experience we offer. I look forward to meeting you!

>> WHat ExaCtly IS a BaCHEloR of SCIEnCE?

a bachelor of Science is an undergraduate degree awarded for studies that focus on a primary subject more intensively than a bachelor of arts, although the two degree types are often comparable in terms of required coursework and evaluations. The bachelor of Science degree is offered as either a b.Sc. or b.Sc. (Honours), both requiring the completion of 120 credit hours (approximately 5 courses each semester) , four community practicums, and normally four years of full-time study. The Honours option requires high academic standing and a major research project in your final year of study.

The b.Sc. at Crandall will give you the opportunity to explore the diversity of life forms, their complex inter-relatedness, and the foundational issues related to their studies. The b.Sc. program forms a strong foundation for graduate studies, for professional studies in education, for health sciences, or for entry-level jobs in various careers related to science. The primary purpose of the b.Sc. degree at Crandall University is to provide the academic background for lives of learning, living, and service with a Christian perspective.

You will have the opportunity to gain an appreciation for the diversity and importance of cell biology, genetics, zoology, botany, ecology, biopsychology, environmental issues, nutrition, anatomy, neuroscience, and current issues in evolutionary biology.

“The T.E.S.L. program at Crandall has opened up doors that I never

thought were possible in my first year. I plan on traveling to South

Korea for a year to teach English. How cool is that?”

teaching English as a Second language Certificate (t.E.S.l) “One of my favourite memories was listening to our drama instructor

casually talk about encounters with huge icons. She would mention how as a kid she saw C.S Lewis go on walks with his dog, or how she helped set up for a lecture from J.R.R Tolkein- then, inevitably, she would make some comment about “boring us with her life” and move on as if

she hadn’t said anything out of the ordinary.”

oxford Study ProgrammeImagine studying Shakespearean drama and then seeing it performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company; or imagine yourself standing in the globe Theatre, or in castles or abbeys related to Shakespeare’s plays, or in the town of Stratford, amid the Renaissance homes and artifacts…

Imagine yourself studying the history of drama, from ancient to contem-porary, considering not only the philosophical ideas of the plays but also aspects of stage and performance, and then tying it all together with “drama week” — a full week dedicated to rehearsal and culminating in a performance for the local townsfolk…

our courses are designed to help students from Canadian university programs make the most of the opportunities available in England. Each year we seek to provide an interesting mix of educational experiences to come up with a programme that we believe is wonderful and unique, and perhaps uniquely wonderful.
