It is certainly difficult to keep track of all the post-secondary options that are available – and I’m only refering to our province of Alberta. It is nice to receive updates from the smaller campuses as a reminder of the diversity and richness of offerings.

Ambrose University College is in Calgary and is a Christian University that offers degrees in Business Admin, English Literature, Behavioral Science, Biology, Education, History, Christian Studies, and Arts. The campus offers everything right in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains.

Ambrose has just announced that they have been granted permission to offer a Bachelor of Music Degree starting Sept. 2010. This is a complement to their Bachelor of Arts in Music degrees. The new degree will focus on the history, theory, ensemble, and practical musicianship.

The University of Alberta is implementing a pilot project for the fall of 2010. It is called Early Final Admission. I am having difficulty understanding exactly what it means but it appears that students who have a 90% average in the required courses for their program are not only given an early admission but that it also an approved admission. Most post – secondary places have early admission but it is based on waiting for other submissions and your second semester marks. This is still probationary in that you have to maintain good standing in your second semester courses but for some students it lets them know they have a spot in the classroom.

This only applies to some of the programs: agriculture, science, nursing, art, Augustana, native studies, PE, and Faculty Saint-Jean. Here is a a copy of the document that came out in an email.

I’m not a fan of worksheets. I do love planning sheets to keep me organized. This is a great website only because it lists almost any kind of planning sheet, inventory tests, and career planning resource.
