Reputation matters
The U of A’s Faculty of Extension is widely regarded among business and government leaders for its ability to provide professional education that responds to the evolving industry needs.
I loved the one-on-one instruction and the interaction with other students. Loved watching them learn and perform in class while I also advanced on my own art.
Visual Arts student
I loved the program. Everything was great! The teachers were awesome — so smart and personable.
Construction Management and Administration Certificate student
All instructors were extremely well versed in their fields. But one of them — a senior lawyer with the Alberta Government who taught a course on OHS law — was incredibly impressive.
This was my first fully online program, and I loved it. Never thought one can learn so much using this method. Now I am hooked!
