University of Alberta Augustana Campus

This program provides a strong foundation in both the history and practice of visual art. It is particularly suited for students who are in the early stages of their artistic development or who have no formal background in art. Submission of a portfolio is not a requirement to apply to this program, and you can choose to focus in either studio practice or art history.

The Physical Education program at Augustana provides a solid foundation in the areas of health sciences, education, sport, and wellness. Within this program you will choose between the Outdoor Education or Kinesiology & Sport Studies streams.
