Medicine Hat College does not offer a complete transfer program to the University of Calgary. Students completing the one year program at MHC with a suitable GPA may be admitted to the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary. In their first year at the University of Calgary, such students would complete their first-year requirements and make substantial progress on second-year requirements. Students would normally be eligible for placement in a specific program after one year at the University of Calgary.

We encourage you to consult with a Medicine Hat College academic advisor, a University of Calgary academic advisor, and the University of Calgary calendar regarding admissions requirements and course selections. It is important that you make correct course choices as part of your Bachelor’s degree.

In cooperation with the Faculty of Engineering, University of Alberta, Medicine Hat College offers one year of engineering which, if successfully completed, allows you to transfer into second year at the University of Alberta and to complete a degree in four years or in five years (if completing a Cooperative program). All Engineering students follow a common curriculum in their first year and take courses in Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Computing, Humanities, Engineering Mechanics, and Introduction to the Engineering Profession.

The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta offers undergraduate programs leading to BSc degrees in Chemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering - Biomedical Option, Chemical Engineering – Computer Process Control Option, Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering – Biomedical Option, Civil Engineering – Environmental Option, Computer Engineering, Computer Engineering – Software Option, Computer Engineering - Nanoscale System Design Option, Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering – Biomedical Option, Electrical Engineering – Nanoengineering Option, Engineering Physics, Engineering Physics - Nanoengineering Option, Materials Engineering, Materials Engineering – Nano and Functional Materials Option, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering – Biomedical Option, Mining Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering.

Enrollment in all Engineering programs at the University of Alberta is limited. However when you have completed the first year engineering transfer program at Medicine Hat College you are considered for admission to second year at the University of Alberta on an equal basis with those who complete first year engineering at the University of Alberta.
