<br>
The School of Continuing Studies (SCS) is one of 12 faculties at
McGill University, a public institution of advanced learning
ranked in the top 50 universities world-wide. The School serves a
diverse and ever-changing adult learner population of nearly 8,000
annually, from pre-collegiate to post-retirement age, with an
annual budget of approx. CAD$ 21 million. It offers a combined
total of 60+ credit and non-credit programs and courses at
undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels, of varying
duration, delivered through a variety of formats, including online
and face-to-face courses, and workshops. Academic content covers
the breadth of digital transformation, applied social sciences,
management, and communication studies. Particular emphasis is
placed on serving the learning needs of First Nations as well as
global communities and non-traditional adult learners.<br>

SCS’s core pedagogic approach centers on highest quality,
inter-active experiential and peer learning combined with close
