The ability to communicate effectively is one of the most important skills you will ever learn.
English courses will help you to develop the thinking and writing skills you will need to do well in all your college and university courses. You will learn how to generate and organize ideas and how to interpret complex pieces of writing.
Most importantly, English courses will heighten your sensitivity to the cultural, historical, and spiritual dimensions of human life.
The course list identifies approved courses that MacEwan may offer. Not all courses will be offered every year and some courses are restricted to particular programs. Contact an advisor in your program for information on course availability.
Important Prerequisite Information
Please note that a C- in any of the following MacEwan courses will satisfy the prerequisite for all 200 and 300 level English courses: English 101, English 100, English 105, English 132 and English 133, or English 102 and English 103.
Students who plan to major or minor in English should take ENGL 132 and ENGL 133 (previously ENGL 105 [6cr]) to fulfil part of their Literacy Core and to fulfil the prerequisite for 200 and 300 level English courses. Though ENGL 102 and ENGL 103 can be used to fulfil part of the Literacy Core and used as a prerequisite for 200 and 300 level English courses, ENGL 132 and ENGL 133 are recommended.
