Your important role in advising and supporting students on their journey to the U of A has helped us build our legacy as one of the top 5 universities in Canada and top 100 in the world. We appreciate everything that you do!

We've created this page so that you can quickly and easily find everything you need to know as a counsellor, at any time throughout the year.

Augustana Campus

• Project-based Core: A new core curriculum with a focus on project-based learning will give students the opportunity to tackle real-world issues. They will be encouraged to think creatively in a variety of backgrounds and to collaborate across a spectrum of disciplines, and with the community.

• Multidisciplinary Concentrations: Students will no longer have to stick with one major. Instead, they will be able to study various topics across disciplines, in a way that caters to their unique interests, and coincides with their career aspirations.
