General info

 

In this program, you will undertake an in-depth examination of the conceptual and philosophical underpinnings of community engagement, as well as learn about research and engagement methodologies. You will also gain practical experience working with community, as you complete your own thesis research project with the support and guidance of academic experts.

Audience

This thesis-based program is offered to full-time and part-time students interested in the study and practice of community engagement in a variety of settings. 

Program Plan

The Master of Arts in Community Engagement (MACE) includes three core courses (MACE 501, MACE 502, and MACE 503), three graduate-level electives, a community experience practicum, and a written thesis based on the student’s original research project. 

Electives may be taken through any faculty; one of the electives must be a graduate-level course in research methods. Some potential electives are listed in our Student Handbook. For additional graduate level courses, consult the University of Alberta calendar, but discuss course selection with your advisor/supervisor prior to enrolment to be sure it aligns with your program. 

The practicum component of the program takes place through Community Service Learning Experience, a graduate-level course offered by the Faculty of Extension in partnership with UAlberta’s CSL.
