BAs MatterComprehensive University Education
Students leave CMU with:
• a capacity for analysis, perspective, and commitment
• the ability to employ clear and careful thinking in all facets of life
• the inspiration to make a difference through active engagement in society
• the interpersonal skills and awareness to work collaboratively with others
• an awareness of how politics, philosophy, religion, art, economics, and environmental realities shape our world
The first observation made in a recent Business Council of Canada survey, Developing Canada’s future workforce: a survey of large private-sector employers, reported that companies are increasingly looking to recruit or develop employees with strong soft skills (also known as non-cognitive skills).
These skills are especially important when identifying and developing future leaders.
According to the survey report, the soft skills most in demand are:
· collaboration and teamwork
· communication skills
· problem-solving skills
· people and relationship-building skills
While grades and educational credentials are certainly important to recruiters, companies are increasingly focused on finding people who can work in teams, solve complex problems and show a willingness to learn.

Practica (Work-integrated Learning) CMU is unique among Canadian universities in that every degree student completes a practicum, a supervised off-campus work experience. CMU’s practica program:
· is connected with over 500 community partners in education, healthcare, business, church, legal, social service, agriculture, government, and NGO organizations—both locally and globally· enriches academic learning· offers hands-on work experience in diverse settings· helps students clarify vocational interests and create career options.
According to Canada’s Business/Higher Education Roundtable, work-integrated learning is a fundamental part of the Canadian undergraduate experience. Work-integrated learning has been a cornerstone of the CMU experience for nearly 20 years.
“My practicum placement at the Assiniboine Park Zoo has left me quite reassured that I’m headed in the right career direction. A practicum experience is very much a process of discovery and exploration, regardless of where you choose to do your practicum or where you find yourself.” Esther Derksen (Bachelor of Arts & Science major)
Work-integrated Learning, Career and Academic Advising:Connecting the Classroom and the World
95% of CMU students surveyed are satisfied with CMU career counselling (83% above the Canadian average)

Receive personal support With university comes transition. Whether you live on-campus or are a commuter, there are Residence and Commuter Assistants as well as other Student Life staff who provide support and advice.

Winnipeg recently ranked in the top 10 most visited Canadian cities thanks to its many attractions. A cosmopolitan and multicultural city, Winnipeg offers an array of cultural experiences including Folklorama, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Winnipeg Folk Festival, and the Winnipeg Fringe Festival. Enjoy recreational activities such as skating the Assiniboine River ice trail, trips to some of the world’s best beaches—and, of course, cheering on the Winnipeg Jets and Winnipeg Blue Bombers!
The CMU campus boasts an art gallery, market garden, third-wave coffee shop, and is next door to Assiniboine Park, the Winnipeg Zoo, and North America’s largest urban forest which features walking and cycling trails.
In Nov., 2016, Narcity.com named folio café as one of the "15 Winnipeg coffee shops you should go to at least once in your life."
From their review:folio caféThis large, sunny space is usually flocked by CMU students (and their ability to make a single cappuccino last the entire three hours they spend studying is impressive). The cafe’s floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the beautiful campus grounds, and I promise the study-hall vibes will make you feel shockingly studious (that, or tempted to skip class and order another vanilla latte).

My team is an amazing friend group—I have people that I can trust and that I can go to when I'm struggling in school or experiencing an issue.

What Faculty Say About CMU“ At CMU, I’ve been enriched by walking with
people who have different perspectives than I do. I’ve learned to listen and to build relationships, and not see those who view faith and life differently as a problem to fix, but rather as an opportunity to learn from and journey alongside.
Irma Fast Dueck, Associate Professor of Practical Theology
Getting our hands dirty, and working with multiple forms of inquiry that take context seriously, are radical acts characteristic of our commitment to education.
Kenton Lobe, Instructor, International Development Studies
I long for students to feel as though they’ve been challenged and pushed, but also nurtured along the way. I want students to feel that they have a voice and that they’ve had opportunity for that voice to develop and grow.
Janet Brenneman, Dean, School of Music; Associate Professor of Music
One of the things I appreciate is that at CMU, we have our four commitments: Educate for Peace – Justice; Learn through Thinking and Doing; Welcome Generous Hospitality… Radical Dialogue; and Model Invitational Community. To work at a place that’s seriously trying to make those sorts of things the undergirding aspect of an education is exciting.

DISCIPLESHIP SCHOOL
Outtatown’s mission is to inspire and nurture students in their life of discipleship with Jesus Christ in a journey towards: knowing God in truth and relationship; knowing yourself in personality, character, abilities, and gifts; and knowing the world in its beauty, diversity, and pain.
Students earn up to 18 university credits.
Become part of a community committed to learning what it means to follow Jesus in our world.
Travel. Learn. Serve.
Outtatown is for any student (age 17-22) with a high school diploma and the courage and willingness to dig deep and take risks. Students explore their faith, combining classroom and experiential learning with service, adventure, and travel.
You can choose one of Outtatown’s two-semester programs, which spend their international time in Guatemala or South Africa, or practice your French with our one-semester bilingual program that travels through France and Burkina Faso.
You will be inspired, encouraged, and challenged as you travel around the world.
“What I've learned on Outtatown gave me an incredible foundation to better use my gifts—gifts to further the church and to share the love of Jesus Christ with all.” Liam | Burkina Faso 2016

Guatemala: Journey through Latin culture and the Spanish language. Make new friends as you spend six weeks living with a Guatemalan family, take Spanish classes, and volunteer in various communities. Swim in the natural pools of Semuc Champey, hike up volcanoes or through Mayan ruins, and enjoy God’s creation.
South Africa: Learn from a variety of people groups throughout the country. Partner with local organizations as they serve their communities, and engage in dialogues about reconciliation and conflict resolution. Hike the Drakensburg Mountains, worship in local churches, and of course see a few wild animals along the way.
Burkina Faso: Journey across three continents while exploring the importance of the Church in Canadian, Parisian, and Burkinabé contexts. Practice your French with French speakers and your fellow travellers. Ride a camel in the Sahel Desert, share a coffee with someone on the streets of Montreal, visit the Eiffel Tower, and experience Burkinabé hospitality first hand—all in just three months.
Canada: All of our programs begin in Canada, whether it’s travelling east to Quebec with our Burkina Faso program, or from Manitoba to the coast of British Columbia with our two-semester programs. Much like their time internationally, students spend time learning in a classroom, serving at camps and in inner-cities, and pushing themselves with new adventures.
Travel. Learn. Serve.
Each international location we visit is unique.
