About MacEwan Design
The MacEwan Design Department has been graduating well-respected designers for 50 years. We recently launched a 4-year baccalaureate degree in 2019.

This degree is unique in Canada, envisioning design as not just an applied art but also an applied social science.

This human-centered approach will allow students to better understand the audience/users they are designing for, and to more effectively evaluate their design outcomes.

We currently offer 56 unique courses in design, providing students with a large range to explore within the discipline.

These courses are grouped into four main pathways - Visual Communication Design; Digital Experience Design; Photo, Video & Motion Graphics; Illustration.


Due to the popularity of the program, we will grow by 33% next year, from 90 first-year students to 120 first-year students.

This growth will require us to run more course sections throughout the program - which is why we are seeking sessional instructors.

The Design Department at MacEwan University prepares students to become the creative design leaders of tomorrow.

Students are immersed in the knowledge, processes, methods and skills of the discipline:

the ability to research and identify problems and provide communication solutions within a given social and environmental context; use tools of the field to give form to their concepts while recognizing the cultural significance and meaning of them; communicate and defend solutions to team members and stakeholders; organize and manage design projects and client relations.
