The Faculty of Extension
In 1912, the University of Alberta was a young institution under the presidency of Henry Marshall Tory, who charged his protégé, a young AE Ottewell, with the task of “bringing the University to the people.”
More than one hundred years later, the Faculty of Extension continues to create opportunities for continuing and professional education in response to the needs of individuals and society, engaging university and community in learning, discovery, and citizenship.
The Faculty of Extension works collaboratively with other Faculties and educational institutions, community and professional associations, business organizations, and public agencies. It promotes responsive community-university engagement through a wide range of innovative learning opportunities and citizenship activities.
The Faculty delivers hundreds of courses annually to thousands of learners, many of whom are international students. Programs and courses are offered in the areas of academic English; business and leadership; environmental studies; health, safety, and wellness; Indigenous relations; information access and protection of privacy; land use planning; local and regional governance; modern languages; residential interiors; technology; visual arts; and writing and communications.
Extension students, our partners in learning, benefit from the expertise of more than 200 experts in their fields and by earning credentials, completing studies through flexible schedules and delivery methods, advancing their careers, and enriching their lives. Beyond this, their commitment to continuing and professional education benefits their communities by generating new ideas and promoting innovation in a knowledge-based economy.
