Jun. 18: Here’s some more
MacEwan University
programs.
Asia Pacific Management:
With an Asia Pacific Management diploma, you’ll be qualified to work in international business in just two years. It’s a challenging program that includes university transferable studies in subjects such as accounting, finance and marketing – specifically within an international business context. As well, students study Asian cultures and language, completing the program with a six-week overseas practicum in Asia."
My opinion: You have to take Chinese or Japanese
introductory class. You can have little
to no background in it. It sounds
exciting to travel, but I can book a vacation instead of taking this program.
Bachelor of Applied Business Administration – Accounting:
You have to have taken the Accounting and Strategic Management program to get
in.
Bachelor of Applied Human Service Administration: You
have to have 2 yrs college diploma to get in.
This seems to be about running hospitals, centres, and agencies.
"This applied degree gives you the management skills required
to become an effective leader in the human services field. From managing
physical resources, to trend analysis and research skills, our graduates have
the skills and confidence to work with boards, manage a dynamic staff of
practitioners, and still serve the clients and families at the heart of your
organization."
Bachelor of Child and Youth Care: This is like social
work where you deal with kids and teens that have to overcome mental, physical,
and emotional abuse.
Bachelor of Commerce: It’s business. There’s lots of required courses like
accounting, business law, and operations management.
Bachelor of Physical Education Transfer: I saw this and
immediately thought: “Gym teacher.” I
looked into careers and it says fitness instructor, coach, athletic therapist.
Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing: I looked it up and
it seems kind of like social work too.
Bachelor of Science: I’m not good or like science.
Bachelor of Science in Engineering: I have no
interest in this.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing: I don’t have any
interest in health. I do have two
friends who went through the program.
One graduated and worked at a nursing home for a few years and now is at
a medical clinic. I have another friend
who recently graduated from there.
Business management: I see it’s a 1 yr program. Accounting, computers, business law, etc.
Jun. 19 Cardiac nursing: This is for registered
nurses who want to extend their education.
Correctional services: This is also like social work
where you can be a case worker, counselor, youth worker, etc.
Disability Management in the Workplace: “Effective
disability management in the workplace can decrease these human and financial
costs by getting the worker back on the job in a safe manner at the earliest
time.”
The courses are like medical “Essential Anatomy and
Physiology.”
Disability Studies: Leadership and Community: This
is also like social work.
Early learning and child care: The careers are
childcare worker and preschool teacher.
You can work in preschools, but also women’s shelters and hospitals.
Emergency Communications and Response: This is where
you can become a 911 operator. I was at
the MacEwan job fair earlier this year and there was a booth for the Saskatchewan
one. I have been interested in a being a
police officer and helping people, but I don’t want to be in danger.
I guess I’m afraid I’ll be freaking out when I get a 911
call. There is a lot of stress like: “Oh
a house is on fire? What’s the address?”
Or: “You heard gun shots? Where are
you?”
I have seen on the Canadian news magazine show W-Five, about
how 50% of 911 calls aren’t even emergencies like asking about how the road
conditions are. I recently read in the
Metro about the same amount of calls being non-emergency. I even remember Jay Leno and his “Ridiculous
911 calls” segment.
English as a Second Language: This is for students
who need to learn English to get into college.
So it doesn’t apply to me.
