Master of Arts in Community Engagement

University of Alberta

Engaging with stakeholders, community members, or special interest groups is an integral part of many jobs. Whether working in government, industry, the nonprofit sector or research institutions, learning how to foster and evaluate effective engagement activities is essential. Community engagement is the term used to describe how various agencies and community groups share information, contribute expertise, and work collaboratively to address pressing issues and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. But effective community engagement does not just happen. The Master of Arts in Community Engagement (MACE) is an interdisciplinary graduate degree program that prepares students for the study and practice of community engagement in a variety of settings. MACE can be completed as a thesis-based program or as a course-based program and is open to full-time and part-time students.
