Do you want to have a different kind of summer? Are you interested in learning German by day and attending operas by night? Maybe you’d like to tutor English conversation groups and take a course in Korean pop culture? Some of MacEwan’s partners and other institutions offer interesting summer programs for students from a variety of disciplines.
At many of our partner universities, students do not pay the tuition portion of the summer program, but will still be required to pay for accommodations, food, travel and cultural activities for the duration of their stay. Please see your program advisor for more information on transfer credit.
Some of our partner universities offer excellent summer programs for which you may be able to get credit toward your degree. Many non-partner institutions also offer summer programs for which you are welcome to apply.
**Please note that there is never a guarantee that you will receive credit for these courses. Be prepared to bring back detailed course syllabi and coursework with you! Please see your program advisor for more information on transfer credit.
