Grant Macewan College is an educational institution located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. As of 2006, the intitution refers to itself in all publicity materials simply as MacEwan without the word college, reflecting a change in direction towards fields normally associated with universities in Canada.
It was established in 1971, and named after J.W. Grant MacEwan, former lieutenant governor of Alberta, author and educator. Its main campus comprises 5 city blocks in downtown Edmonton. Satellite campuses are located in the Mill Woods, Jasper Place neighbourhoods, and at the former Alberta College campus in the city centre. Grant MacEwan Residence is connected to the educational facilities by a pedway over 109 St.
Grant MacEwan College recently became an accredited degree-granting institution, and currently offers Bachelor of Arts and Commerce degrees. The College expects to add additional degrees such as nursing (B.Sc(N)) and Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) by 2008.
Its Sport and Wellness centre is reputed to be one of Edmonton's finest facilities. The Griffins, MacEwan's athletic organization, compete in intercollegiate sports.
