I studied Education at Campus Saint-Jean at the University of Alberta with a minor in inclusion and overall had a very positive experience. One of the biggest strengths of the program is the small class sizes, which create a collaborative and supportive learning environment. Professors are approachable, my favourite professors being Asma M’barek, Dalbir Sehmby, Dominic manuel and Randy Lyseng, to name a few. It is easier to participate in discussions and build connections with classmates when professors foster such productive and welcoming learning environments.
Another highlight was the accessibility of student services. Whether it was academic support, health care or general guidance, it felt like there were always resources available for students on Main Campus. Because Campus Saint-Jean is a smaller campus, the selection of specialized courses were sometimes more limited compared to the main University of Alberta campus. Lots of things make up for this though.
Edmonton is also a great student city. It’s affordable compared to many other Canadian cities and has a strong sense of community, especially within the French-speaking environment at Campus Saint-Jean.
I would recommend the program to students who value smaller learning environments, close relationships with professors, and being part of a tight-knit campus community.
