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.

It was an amazing experience and learning journey. I highly recommend the ALUP program to anyone interested in the field.

Taking the Digital Marketing program has been one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made in my life and that I’m feeling very optimistic about my future because of it. The program has been incredible and the instructors are all excellent.

The instructors are first rate.


The teachers were excellent and very helpful.
Because the instructors actually work in the “real world,” they can take their experiences and make them relatable to the course materials. That helped me learn immensely.


Networking was a plus. I have built relationships with my professors and many of my classmates.

This program was designed in collaboration with my employer, so obviously what you learn is something that they feel you need to know. I particularly enjoyed how the anecdotes from instructors and classmates helped to bring the information to life and gave it concrete meaning.
