DEGREE COMPLETION PROGRAMS Red Deer College Related Careers Bachelor of Applied Motion Picture Arts The motion picture industry is a major contributor to the North American economy and is at the forefront of the digital revolution. The producers of feature films, television series and commercials seek gifted storytellers, actors, artists and technicians with strong backgrounds in the dramatic arts. Existing theatre programs provide a solid foundation for advanced study in narrative motion picture acting and production. The MPA program provides students with the specific skills and experience they need to gain an advantage in this highly competitive industry. Contact Persons Dr. Dale Wheeler Larry Reese Don Armstrong E-mail: inquire@rdc.ab.ca Local calls: 403-342-3400 Toll Free: 1-888-732-4630 The Program The Applied Degree in Motion Picture Arts enables students who have completed two years of post-secondary theatre studies (or equivalent) to expand and apply their primary theatre training to the rapidly growing motion picture, television and multimedia industries. The two years of completed theatre studies is followed by a program year (3rd year) of intensive theory and hands-on instruction culminating in an advanced certificate in Performance or Production. Students may then choose to go on to the final (4th year) which is a credited mentored work experience the equivalent of two four-month terms or the opportunity to complete a substantial motion picture project. The program has two streams: the Production Stream and the Acting Stream. Graduates of the Production Stream will apply their broad-based understanding of the nature of production to pursue multiple job tracks as their careers progress. Typically, graduates will begin employment at entry levels in various areas of the industry, including cinematography, camera operation, digital editing, production design, sound recording, production management, and special effects. Some graduates may choose to act as self-employed contractors in their own creative business ventures. Acting Stream graduates will be prepared to audition for performance roles in feature films, movies of the week, series television, commercials, and voice-overs. With experience and proven ability, graduates from both streams may also advance into entrepreneurial roles as directors, writers, and producers, supervising content creation in a wide variety of current and emerging media. Admission Requirements 1. You must have completed 2 years of a post-secondary Theatre Studies Program (or equivalent) with a minimum 2.00 GPA. Other related post-secondary credits and/or equivalent experience will be considered. www.rdc.ab.ca AND 2. You must complete a successful audition and/or interview/ portfolio.

They then apply to complete the 3rd and 4th years as a University of Calgary student at the Red Deer College campus. Year 1 & 2 courses are Red Deer College university transferable courses taught by RDC Faculty. Year 3 & 4 courses are taught by a combination of University of Calgary and Red Deer College Faculty. The B.A. degree awarded is the same degree granted to students who complete their course work at the University of Calgary. Graduation requirements are the same as those outlined in the University of Calgary Calendar. (See “Graduation Requirements” later in this section for program details.) Students may maintain part-time status and can start their program with evening classes, but eventually must take day time classes to complete their degree. Related Careers The purpose of a university education in the arts is not just to train you for a specific job, but to help you develop general skills that can be put to use in many different work situations. The Conference Board of Canada has identified the following as critical skills required for Canada’s workforce: * Academic Skills (Communication, Thinking, Learning, Research) * Personal Management Skills (Positive Attitudes/Behaviours, Responsibility, Adaptability) * Teamwork Skills (Working with Others) Bachelor of Arts students have exceptional opportunities to learn and hone these skills while also acquiring a background in their specific area(s) of interest. English graduates may find employment in a variety of fields, such as researcher, speech writer, administrative assistant, public relations officer, publisher’s agent, or advertising copy writer. Sociology graduates may obtain employment in related areas such as social services, corrections, research, statistics, and government service. Psychology graduates might obtain employment in related areas such as social services, counselling, law enforcement, human resources, life skills training, or government service. Bachelor of Arts graduates may also go on to professional studies in fields such as law, business, education or may continue to graduate studies for a Master’s or Doctoral degree in their specific area of interest. Graduate work is required in order for a student to become a Chartered Psychologist or to become an instructor or researcher at the university level. www.rdc.ab.ca De g r e e C o m p l e t i o n P r o g r a m s Admission Requirements Application & Admission Requirements to Years 1 & 2 (Red Deer College) Apply to the Red Deer College Bachelor of Arts university transfer program to complete Years 1 & 2 (i.e. the first 14-20 half course equivalents) of your 40 course degree.

Liberal Arts graduates generally have superior skills in conceptual analysis, evaluation and critical reasoning, leadership motivation, and interpersonal and communication skills. The Program The objective in all programs is to provide you with the basis of a liberal arts education which will allow you to transfer to universities offering a Bachelor of Arts degree program. In most cases, you will major in one of the subjects listed below. By declaring a major, you are simply stating your intent to pursue a comprehensive study of that subject area. Some university programs require you to declare a minor, which represents a second subject you will study in some depth as well. Majors You are required to complete a major in the Bachelor of Arts degree. A major includes a certain number of courses taken in one field of study. Generally, about half of the courses taken in a four year degree will be chosen from the major field. This number will vary according to your choice of major and the university you attend. Majors in the RDC program are Anthropology, Communications, Economics, English, French, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Spanish. See detailed information on the following pages for specific requirements for individual majors. Honours Honours programs are designed to prepare students particularly well for advanced study at the Master’s or Doctoral level in the major field of interest. High standards of performance are required in Honours programs. Most universities offer Honours programs in the same fields as the Majors listed above. You should consult with an Academic Advisor for details. Transfer Features You may transfer up to 20 half course equivalents taken at Red Deer College to the university of your choice. This normally represents the first two years of a four year program. The courses you select must meet the program requirements of that specific university. Note: Most universities have enrollment quotas. You should consult with an Academic Advisor for details. Course Load: Full-time or Parttime Study The Bachelor of Arts program is open to full-time students and part-time students. A full-time student will take at least 3 courses per term (minimum 9 credits), with 5 (15 credits) being the normal full load. Extra courses represent special burdens and may result in poor academic performance. A student will be permitted to take more than 5 courses in a term only under exceptional circumstances and with the approval of an Academic Advisor. Part-time students take 1 or 2 courses per term. Admission Requirements 1. Minimum average of 60% with no mark below 50% in: a. ELA 30-1 b.4 courses from Groups A, B, or C (Social Studies 30 and a 30-level Language other than English highly recommended), with no more than one course from Group B (See “Alberta Grade 12 Course Groups,” page 8) www.rdc.ab.ca U n i v e r s i t y T r a n s f e r P r o g r a m s Note: Some Universities require Pure Math 30 for admission or as a prerequisite for required courses. Transfer students are responsible for learning the specific admission, progression, and prerequisite requirements of their programs. If you wish to check exact degree requirements and transfer equivalents, see the university calendars and the Alberta Transfer Guide (http:// www.acat.gov.ab.ca). The Registrar’s Office has reference copies. OR 2. Mature Student You must be 19 years of age or older, out of high school at least one full year before the program starts, and have a minimum average of 60% with no mark below 50% in: a. ELA 30-1 b. Subject from Group A, B, or C (See “Alberta Grade 12 Course Groups,” page 8) OR 3. Successful completion of one year of a diploma program and Chairperson approval. Course Selection Note: To transfer you must meet the minimum requirements of the university you plan to attend, regardless of the criteria under which you may qualify for admission to the Red Deer College program. Normally you must present ELA 30-1 or its equivalent, and either a Math (Pure Mathematics 30, Applied Mathematics 30 or Math 31) or a language other than English at the 30 level. The specific requirements will depend both on your major and on the university to which you plan to transfer. Please check with an Academic Advisor. It is usually possible to take Red Deer College courses that are equivalent to these 30 level courses. Normally you cannot have credit in both 30 level high school subjects and their equivalent courses at Red Deer College. Universities normally place restrictions on the type of courses accepted for the B.A. degree. These restrictions may take the form of required core subjects, or discipline areas and limits on the number of first-year courses that you can take. In selecting courses, you must make sure they meet both the admission and the program requirements of the transfer university.

Two-Year University Transfer Program Red Deer College offers the first two years of these degree programs: 1. Bachelor of Arts 2. Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Related Careers The study of a second language complements any career as it broadens a student’s intercultural understanding, improves communication skills, facilitates international business and expands international work opportunities. Fluency in French and/or Spanish can give an applicant for any position a clear advantage over unilingual candidates. In Canada, proficiency in French is desirable in civil service positions and the study of French and/or Spanish can also lead to a career in foreign service. Specializing in French and/or Spanish can lead to a career in teaching or translation/ interpretation, as well as open doors to graduate study, international business, international law and many other fields. Learning a second language helps one better understand one’s native language, and helps to develop a student’s analytical and critical reading skills. In the global economy where free trade within the Americas, Europe and Asia is constantly expanding, a foreign language is increasingly becoming an essential tool. Graduates may also go on to professional studies (for example in fields such as law, business, education, etc.) or may continue to graduate studies (for a Master’s or Doctoral program) in French or Spanish. B.A. graduates generally have superior skills in conceptual analysis, evaluation and critical reasoning, leadership motivation, and interpersonal and communication skills. www.rdc.ab.ca The Program For a general discussion of the B.A. Program, see page 24. French and Spanish cover the study of grammar and literature of the French and Spanish languages. Some courses include sample readings from French-speaking and Spanish-speaking countries.

Year 2 Tuition Student Association Fees Fees Activity & Wellness Fee Books/Materials Total $3,408.50 $ 136.00 $ 60.00 $ 40.00 $1,000.00 $4,644.00 The Program The objective of these programs is to provide access to the first and, in some cases, the second year of study toward “general” or “subject specific” programs which can be transferred to the provincial universities. Graduation Requirements You must pass 20 term university transfer courses or a minimum of 60 credit hours, and achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 to receive a Diploma in University Transfer Studies. The “subject specific” programs provide education in the conventional scientific disciplines. You can take a number of options, but the number and sequence of the science courses is more rigid than in the “general” program. The “general” program gives you the flexibility to build a science program around your personal strengths and interests by blending the “subject specific” areas. This is done by declaring a major and minor subject. The “pre-professional” programs are designed to meet the admission requirements of professional schools (such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, optometry, and chiropractic medicine). These programs are very competitive, and you should plan your program so that you have the option of completing a science degree if your admission into the professional program is denied or delayed. In many cases, transfer from one major to another can be arranged with a minimal loss in study time. Transfer Features You may transfer up to 20 course equivalents taken at Red Deer College to the university of your choice. The courses you select must meet the program requirements of that specific university. Before planning your program and registering, you should decide which university you will transfer to, and what subject area (major) you want to specialize in. 48 Transfer depends on proper course selection, credit hours completed, grade point average (G.P.A.), and other requirements. The minimum stated G.P.A. is often not enough because of competition to get into a program. Laboratory Safety Requirements Chemistry: You must have a lab coat and safety glasses to take part in Chemistry labs. You can buy these items at the College Bookstore. Course Selection Note: Not all the courses listed under the programs may be offered every academic year. When selecting courses, the Arts and Science options are defined as: Arts Option Science Option Anthropology Astronomy* Art* Biochemistry Drama* Biology Economics Chemistry** English Computing French Science* Genetics *Geography *Geography (except 230/231) (230/231) History Mathematics Music* Microbiology Philosophy Physics Political Science Physiology* Psychology *Psychology (except 260) (260) Sociology Statistics Spanish Zoology *Does not apply at some universities. Check with Academic Advisors. ** CHEM 291 is not a science option for BSc students. Program Readmission See page 10. Graduation Requirements You must pass 20 term university transfer courses or a minimum of 60 credit hours, and achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 to receive a Diploma in University Transfer Studies. www.rdc.ab.ca U n i v e r s i t y T r a n s f e r P r o g r a m s Bachelor of Science General Program Chairperson Warren Elgersma E-mail: inquire@rdc.ab.ca Local calls: 403-342-3400 Toll Free: 1-888-732-4630 See page 23 or general information. One-Year or Two-Year University Transfer Program For the most current university program and transfer information, please see the Academic Advising homepage at www.rdc.ab.ca/academic_advising. Click on Planning Guides. The Program The BSc General program gives you a broad education in more than one branch of study. Students must select a major and a minor subject or area of concentration. The major subject or area of concentration must be in Science. If you are enrolled in the General program and intend to transfer to another, carefully follow the requirements for the latter program when you select (consult with an Academic Advisor) your first year courses. This applies to all students intending to transfer to the Universities of Calgary or Lethbridge which do not offer a BSc General Degree. Transfer Features This program also allows for subsequent transfer to University of Alberta Specialization and Honours programs which have no first year admission. It also allows for transfer to University of Calgary Honours and Majors programs, all of which have no first year admission. It also allows for transfer to University of Lethbridge Majors programs. www.rdc.ab.ca Note: There are some major/minor combinations which have required courses (usually in the second year) that are not offered at Red Deer College. Students taking these combinations can either take other (transferrable) courses during their second year; or, can transfer after their first year at Red Deer College. Admission Requirements 1. Minimum average of 60% with no mark below 50% in: a. ELA 30-1 b. Mathematics 30 (Pure) c. Two of Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Mathematics 31, Physics 30 d.

This information is current at the time of publication but may change as the universities change their requirements. The student has the option of choosing a minor subject or area of concentration in Science, Arts or Business. (For more information on a Business minor, please contact the University of Alberta Science Department at (403) 492-4758 or 1-800358-8314. Major subject areas: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Physics, Science Psychology, Statistics & Applied Probability. Minor subjects in Arts: If the minor subject chosen is from Arts, any requirements as specified by the Arts department must be met. Please see the U of A Calendar for minor subject areas. The Major Subject Area and Minor Subject area may not share courses from the same department. The following combinations are not allowed: Earth & Atmospheric Sciences/ Arts Geography Science Psychology/Arts Psychology Courses in a major or minor Subject area may not overlap. For example, if the major Area of Concentration is the Mathematical Sciences, and the minor Subject of Concentration is Statistics, then the major may be made up of Mathematics courses and Computing Science courses, but no Statistics courses. The minor would consist exclusively of Statistics courses. University of Alberta A subject of concentration consists of courses taken from a single discipline (e.g. Chemistry). An area of concentration may be chosen from the following groups: Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences, Mathematical Sciences or Earth Sciences. 49 U n i v e r s i t y T r a n s f e r P r o g r a m s Please note these are U of A credits Suggested Pattern Year 1 ENGL 210 or ENGL 219/ENGL 220 (6 credits) MATH or STAT or CMPT (6 credits) PHYS or CHEM* or ASTR (6 credits) BIOL or GEOG or PSYC (6 credits) Junior Arts or Science Options (6 credits) Students should have declared a major and minor by year 2.
