The Levene Master of Administration in Leadership (M. Admin. Leadership) is a 30 credit hour program and can be completed in two years if taken full-time. The Levene M.Admin Leadership will apply your management style to theory to lead employees effectively and strategically. You will expand your expertise in strategy, governance and leadership through courses focused on organizational design, continuous learning and conflict resolution.

Top 6 reasons to take the M. Admin. Leadership program:

• Flexible study options include full or part time, with courses offered in condensed, blended and online formats
• Pay-as-you-go structure
• Co-op program option allows you to earn while you learn
• Scholarships available for qualified students
• Close connection to the business community fosters expanded professional networks
• You have a passion for leadership development

Co-operative Education Program
For students who are entering the Master of Administration in Leadership program in their early career with limited professional experience, Co-op work placements offer an opportunity to apply principles learned in class in a working environment.  Co-op students also gain valuable workplace experience proven to add value to the classroom experience for themselves and other students.  The Co-op route also provides an opportunity for early career MAdmin students to secure management level jobs that they might not otherwise have access to. Students must have completed at least four classes, have no failing grades, and normally obtained a minimum CGPA of 75% before applying for co-op.

The purpose of this MA program is to give graduate students in English the opportunity to complete an MA that has a creative writing emphasis and requires the submission of an extended creative work. At the same time, it will be a degree that requires a substantial amount of work within the field of English, which we also see a valuable part of the education of creative writers. It is hoped that the degree will be the foundation for careers in creative writing and editing. It is aimed at students who have aspirations in this field but have not had the rather more extensive professional experience involved with gaining admission to an M.F.A. degree.

If you’re passionate about human movement, health, physical activity, and helping others live longer, healthier lives, then the human kinetics bachelor’s degree program at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan is for you.

The Bachelor of Kinesiology in Human Kinetics will prepare you to work in areas including:

• Physical fitness appraisal
• Exercise rehabilitation
• Health and wellness counselling
• Exercise leadership
• Lifestyle management
• Health promotion
• Workplace wellness
• Strength and conditioning

In the human kinetics program, you will focus on both individual and community-based programming, while combining a strong understanding of anatomy, physiology, nutrition, biomechanics, movement behaviour, and exercise psychology. You will also learn about disability and the relationship to physical activity, assessment, and rehabilitation.

Sometimes called exercise science, the human kinetics bachelor’s program at the U of R will prepare you for a unique health career. Get career-ready with a 15-week, full-time field work experience, applying what you learned from studying your major. This level of experience prior to degree completion is not common in other undergraduate kinesiology programs.

You can choose from two focus areas to advance your human kinetics knowledge and career:

• High-Performance concentration
• Adaptation and Rehabilitation concentration

The University of Regina Department of English is a medium-sized department offering courses and research opportunities in most areas of English, American, and Canadian literatures. The size of its student body ensures that students have ample opportunity for intellectual discussion with their peers, but also the close contact with faculty members that larger institutions are unable to provide. The Department currently offers three routes for the MA in English: course-based, Creative Writing, and thesis-based. The course MA (ten courses) provides an opportunity to achieve a breadth of knowledge in many areas of English literature. The thesis MA (five courses plus thesis) provides an opportunity to do in-depth research, and an extended piece of writing, on one area of English literature. The Master's degree is normally the highest offered in the Department of English at the University of Regina, and affords the Department the opportunity for close support of Master’s students and high-priority supervision of Master's theses Both the thesis and course MA offer students excellent preparation for graduate studies at the doctoral level, or for jobs and careers in English. The Department of English is offering an MA in Creative Writing: this degree consists of five courses (in Creative Writing and English Literature/Theory), and a creative thesis with a critical/theoretical introduction.

The Master of Education degree in Educational Leadership (EDL) is designed to serve the needs of practicing school administrators, and for those who wish to prepare for a career in educational administration.

Software Systems Engineering’s objective is to train students to study, analyze, design and develop different software systems including web-based software systems, transaction-based systems, interactive multimedia systems, and management information systems, and to become knowledgeable in the process and life-cycle aspects of software development. The program also aims to teach students to apply computational theories to real-life programming techniques; analyze requirements; design, implement and test software systems; plan and manage software projects; solve technical problems; practice co-design and embedded systems construction.

Statistics is a data-driven science about how numbers help us understand the world, predict future events, and analyze information.

In this program, you will take courses in statistics and probability, as well as theoretical and applied courses. Statisticians at the bachelor of science level are needed in industry, government, and academics (colleges, technical schools). The Bachelor of Science in Statistics is also a pathway to graduate studies, which can lead to a variety of skilled careers such as a statistician or data scientist.

The Master of Indigenous Language Education degree aims to:

• Prepare students as leaders in Indigenous language acquisition and revitalization;
• Provide students with the required skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to become effective Indigenous language educators;
• Prepare students to conduct research with Indigenous peoples;
• Provide students with opportunities to learn, understand, and experience Indigenous knowledges, worldviews and perspectives; and
• Equip students with the competencies and abilities to integrate Indigenous languages and knowledge into school curricula.

The program aims to develop broad expertise and critical thinking while enabling students to focus their interests through core courses in theory and methods, seminars, and specialized directed readings.

The Department of Physics at the University of Regina offers graduate programs leading to the MSc and PhD degrees in Experimental and Theoretical Subatomic Physics, with special emphasis in:

• High Energy Physics
• Weak Interactions and Neutrino Physics
• Hadronic QCD Physics

A degree in physics teaches you how to think: a logical approach to problem solving that can be applied to a very wide range of subjects. Physics is thus a springboard into other areas of scientific study. The focus is on concepts and methods of understanding matter, energy, and the interactions between matter and energy. Physics is the study of how the universe works and why it works that way.
