o p p o r t u n i t i e s t o s e r v eRedeemer grad, Steven Dykstra ’07, works with a series of downtown Hamilton support organizations to assess Redeemer’s existing involvement in the downtown core. He works to engage more Redeemer students in volunteering and service learning opportunities, including internships and co-op placements.

“I see community engagement as an extension of students’ time and growth

at Redeemer—it’s a chance to put into practice what they’re learning.”

Mike Kleinhuis ‘99, Youth Pastor, Hughson St. Baptist Church

C O m m U N i T Y E N g A g E m E N T Hamilton is a diverse city with unique needs and opportunities. As Redeemer’s home for almost 30 years now, our students have been making a positive impact in the city’s various communities. There are many ways to get involved and make a difference here, like ministering to refugees, working with at-risk youth, or participating with the local arts scene.

Y O U R F A i T hRedeemer is first and foremost a Christian university, so every course you take will invite you to integrate your faith into all aspects of your life.

d E g R E E P R O g R A m SRedeemer University College offers 14 honours majors, 46 majors and 37 minors leading to a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Education degree.

Y O U R U N i V E R S i T YUniversity College: A name for an accredited undergraduate university that grants bachelor’s degrees.

Liberal Arts and Science: A degree built on a general core of courses in addition to your specific major concentration.

Bachelor’s Degree: A program of study, also known as an undergraduate degree, that normally takes four years of full-time study to complete.

Y O U R C O U R S E SCore: The focus on liberal arts and sciences is developed through participation in a range of core courses. These foundational classes provide a background and context for everything else you will be learning. Within the core, you will have flexibility to choose courses which develop your gifts, inspire your imagination, and advance your calling.

Concentration: In addition to a strong liberal arts and science core, you will choose a number of courses related to your field of interest. Referred to as your major and minor, concentration courses give you the opportunity to explore specific disciplines in depth.

Electives: Courses that fall outside the core and concentration requirements. Electives give you the opportunity to study topics you are curious or passionate about.

Semester: An academic period of 16 weeks. There are 2 full semesters at Redeemer: Fall (September through December) and Winter (January through April). Selected courses are also offered during the Summer. Courses last for the duration of a semester and require 3 hours of class per week.

Credit: University courses are measured in credits. At Redeemer, a semester-long course is worth three credits.

Y O U R d E g R E E O P T i O N SCombined Honours: A double major at the honours level.

Honours Major: The most intensive study of a specific subject area, consisting of 16-20 courses. An honours major is recommended for students considering graduate studies or professional programs.

General Major: The study of a chosen area of specialization, consisting of 10-12 courses.

Minor: A foundational study of a chosen discipline which complements your main area of study and consists of 6-7 courses.

Service Area: Service areas provide opportunities to augment a major with an investigation of 2-4 courses.

P R E - P R O F E S S i O N A L P R O g R A m SRedeemer’s small class sizes, research opportunities and reputation provide a strong foundation as you prepare for your career. These defined areas of study, called pre-professional programs, allow you to complete your undergraduate degree at Redeemer and then continue your education at another university or professional organization to complete their requirements.

This courage flourished because it was founded in faith, and fostered by the incredible faculty and community of the theatre program.

P r e - e n g i n e e r i n g : For students interested in Engineering, Redeemer also has arrangements with Dordt College (Sioux Center, IA) and McMaster University (Hamilton, ON). Students enrolled in this program complete their first year of studies at Redeemer and then transfer directly into the engineering programs at these schools.

The Sciences, both teaching and research, are central to Redeemer’s mission. More than just the study of facts, figures, processes and procedures, they offer the chance to investigate God’s creation. Small class sizes, modern, well-equipped labs and the opportunity to work alongside faculty are just some of the advantages of studying science at Redeemer.

r e s e a r c h o p p o r t u n i t i e s : Each summer, a number of Redeemer science students are hired to conduct research work. These are extraordinary opportunities for students, usually in their third or fourth year of studies, to work closely with faculty on original work that is often published in academic journals. Most of the research is funded by Canada’s Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) through the prestigious Undergraduate Student Research Awards.

C A m P U S R E C R E A T i O NThere are so many ways you can get involved in sports and activities at Redeemer. If you are interested in playing or staying active at a less competitive level or even just for fun, Redeemer has an extensive Campus Recreation program. You can represent Redeemer on one of our many extramural teams (including hockey), or just play for the fun of it with friends on an intramural team. Whatever your interests, there is always something going on for you to get involved in. If you have any questions about Campus Recreation, email our Campus Recreation Coordinator at [email protected].

C A m P U S R E C R E A T i O N A C T i V i T i E SIntramural activities include sports and activities such as indoor soccer, dodgeball, ball hockey, beach volleyball, basketball, and European handball.

One of the great things about Redeemer is that you will likely find others who share your interests. Redeemer’s Student Life Department, and Student Senate sponsors clubs for students interested in activities as varied as Tae Kwon Do, outdoor activities, ballroom dance and free-run/tricking.

S T A Y A C T i V EOK, so not everyone is a varsity athlete, however, there is a wide range of athletic and recreational opportunities for all students at Redeemer. Being active is fun and a great way to stay balanced as you study. From pick-up games to intramurals and extramurals, you will find all sorts of ways to connect with other students and stay active. Being involved will help you develop a healthy lifestyle that includes opportunities for leadership, service and character building.

n a m e Jenna Bos, ‘13

s t a t e m e n t Since my very first year at Redeemer,

I’ve been blessed to receive financial aid through loans,

scholarships and on-campus employment, allowing me to stay

in a place where I am growing both as an artist and as a

Christian. I’ve not only been able to receive a university

education in a faith-based institution, but have been deeply

impacted by the continuous encouragement and support of

the wider Redeemer community.

STUDENT STATEMENTtax credit advantages

In Canada, tuition payments are eligible

for non-refundable tax credits, which

can be used to lower income tax payable.

The higher the tuition, the

larger your tax credit.

Any unused portion can

either be carried forward

to future years, or

transferred to parents—

which can add up to

significant savings!

As you make your plans for this grand adventure, I encourage you to check out Redeemer further through one of our Campus Visit Days. Think of it as sneak peek,

before heading out on your trip.

We look forward to walking alongside you as you make your plans. God’s blessings to you as you prepare for this

grand adventure.

Dr. Hubert R. Krygsman, President

So how are you enjoying your trip so far? We hope that this passport has given you lots to think about, and that you are ready to take the next step on this grand adventure!

Next stop: Come visit our campus - whether as part of a scheduled visit event, or your own personalized tour - campus visits are a great way to experience what Redeemer is all about. On pages 4 and 5 you will find more information on how to sign up for these events.

In the meantime, contact us if you have any questions about anything that you’ve read. Connect with us through social media, or chat with one of our University Reps at your school or church. Or, visit the Redeemer booth at one of the many college/university fairs that we will be attending this year.

Blessings as you continue towards making Redeemer University College your destination of choice for your undergraduate degree!
