Walls – intercultural communication; communication in East Asian languages and cultures; language and culture in translation D. Ward – design of interactive learning environments and supports for knowledge building Communication is a comparatively new discipline that builds on traditional social science disciplines. It focuses on analysis of the context and means in which information in its diverse forms is created, packaged, circulated, interpreted, and controlled. As an applied science, communication is important in the creation and critical evaluation of legal and public policies in broadcasting, telecommunications, and community and international development. The study of communication has also become prominent in the professions, notably in law, education, community medicine, counselling, and mental health, and in business administration, advertising, and broadcasting. The school draws on a variety of perspectives, but it is most readily distinguished by the fact that it treats communication as a humanistic social science with both theoretical and applied dimensions. Students are given opportunities to explore communication theory and practice and are encouraged to apply research and theory to issues and problems in contemporary societies and cultures. The school offers graduate programs leading to an MA degree or PhD degree.

Fields of Study and Research Faculty resources provide for graduate studies in the following general areas of interest. Students may wish to specialize in one or more of these general areas, or to select related aspects from two or more. • theoretical foundations in communication studies • communication in history • broadcasting and telecommunication regulation, policy and practice • communication, development and environment • the information society/economy • computer mediated networks and virtual environments • publishing • international communication, inter-cultural communication • science and technology policy, technology-transfer, communication of science • media and cultural studies • cultural policy and cultural politics • acoustic environments and communication • management of technology • telework, telelearning, distance education • political communication • communication in conflict and intervention • crisis/emergency communication

Advising and Supervision Each new student is assigned an interim advisor upon program admission. The student selects a senior supervisor and in consultation with this faculty member selects one or two other faculty to serve on a supervisory committee by the beginning of the student’s third semester. Although the graduate studies committee (GSC) will endeavor to provide interim advisors with expertise in the student’s stated area of research interest, there is no obligation to select the interim advisor as senior supervisor.

Degree Requirements Graduate courses are organized into six groups. Group 1 contains survey courses that define and map the field in addition to exposing students to faculty interests and programs of research. Group 2 contains courses in research methods and methodology designed to help students with research projects in the field. Group 3 contains courses in the various research areas available in the school. Group 4 courses provide the opportunities for students to do field work or to work and study in a professional setting. Group 5 courses allow students the opportunity to carry out research and/or reading under the direct supervision of a faculty member. Group 6 refers to the course designations for work on theses, projects, extended essays, or dissertations in process, for colloquia where students present such work, and for comprehensive examinations. Candidates for the master’s degree must normally satisfy the following.

Course Work At least six graduate courses (normally completed before beginning a thesis, a project, or two extended essays) which must include the following. • one course from group 1 • one course from group 2 • CMNS 860-2 (graduate colloquium) • three additional courses, at least one of which is to be selected from within the school and may include other courses from groups 1 and 2.

Research Facilities The School of Computing Science operates several interconnected local area networks in co-operation with other departments in the Faculty of Applied Sciences. These networks are connected to SFU LAN, the campus-wide network, which also provides access to the Internet. Facilities include over 200 networked workstations, file servers, CPU servers, and other specialized systems. These are mostly SUN SPARC and NeXT workstations, with some Silicon Graphics Iris workstations and various PCs. Specialised facilities include an AIS 4000 parallel vision processor and a 76 node transputer system. Additionally, the school has comprehensive resources to facilitate VLSI design, simulation, fabrication and testing. Other computing resources are provided by the University’s Academic Computing Services department including six large SGI 4D multiprocessor systems, four Sun SPARC-II computers, an IBM RS6000, and an Auspex file server. These systems and a wide range of software and services are available to the Simon Fraser University campus community.

Degrees Offered The School of Computing Science offers programs leading to the MSc and PhD in computing science. It provides students with graduate studies in the following areas: theoretical computing science; artificial intelligence; database systems; computer graphics and multimedia computing; hardware design; distributed computing; programming languages and systems; computer vision and medical imaging.

Admission To qualify for admission to the MSc program, a student must satisfy the University admission requirements stated in section 1.3 of the Graduate General Regulations and must have a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent in computing science or a related field. To qualify for admission to the PhD program, a student must satisfy the University admission requirements stated in section 1.3 of the Graduate General Regulations and • have a master’s degree or the equivalent in computing science or a related field or • have a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent in computing science or a related field, with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 (on a scale of 0.0-4.0) or the equivalent. At its discretion, the school’s graduate admission committee may offer either MSc or PhD admission to students applying to the PhD program without a master’s degree or equivalent in computing science or a related field. Students enrolled in the MSc program may apply to transfer to the PhD program after two semesters in the MSc program; the school’s evaluation procedure for such applications is the same as that used for outside applicants.

Breadth and Course Requirements For purposes of defining the MSc and PhD breadth requirements, a set of sub areas are identified and grouped into three major areas: Formal Topics in computing science, computer systems, and knowledge and information systems. Table 1 shows the standard sub areas within each area.

Table 1 Area I – Formal Topics in Computer Systems algorithms and complexity formal logic and language semantics discrete mathematics operations research

Area II – Computing Systems operating systems and networks computer design and organization programming languages and compilers software methodology and engineering

Area III – Knowledge and Information Systems artificial intelligence and robotics database and information retrieval systems numerical and symbolic computing computer graphics and interfaces The course requirements for the MSc and PhD degrees each have a distribution requirement to ensure breadth across the major areas defined in table 1. This requirement is specified in terms of number of courses and sub-areas selected from each of the three major areas. At its discretion, the graduate breadth evaluation committee may accept requests to define sub-areas other than those in table 1 for the purpose of satisfying MSc or PhD breadth requirements.

the end of the second semester. Any change in option thereafter must be approved by the graduate program committee.

Breadth Requirement MSc students choosing the thesis option complete at least 15 credit hours of graduate work (typically five courses) such that at least one course is chosen from each of areas I, II and III of table 1. At least 12 of the 15 credit hours (typically 4 courses) must be taken in computing science. Course work will normally be completed by the end of the fifth semester. MSc students choosing the project option complete at least 27 credit hours of graduate work (typically nine courses) such that at least two courses are chosen from each of areas I, II and III of table 1. The two courses taken in each area should be from different sub-areas. At least 21 of the 27 credit hours (typically seven courses) must be taken in computing science. The project should be roughly equivalent to five credit hours of work.

Depth Requirement MSc students submit and defend a thesis or project report based on their independent work. Thesis option students consult with his/her supervisory committee, and formulate and submit a written thesis proposal for approval, normally not later than the end of the program’s third semester. Regulations specifying the examining committee’s composition and procedures for the final thesis or project examination appear in sections 1.9 and 1.10 of the Graduate General Regulations. MSc students with thesis option are required to give a seminar about their thesis research in the interval between distribution of the thesis to the committee and the defence.

Supervisory Committees A supervisory committee, at either the MSc or PhD level, consists of the student’s senior supervisor, at least one other computing science faculty member, and other members (typically faculty) as appropriate. The choice of senior supervisor should normally be made by mutual consent of the graduate student and faculty member based on commonality of research interests. The student and senior supervisor should consult on the choice of the remainder of the committee members.

PhD Program

Section 1.6 of the Graduate General Regulations specifies that a senior supervisor be appointed normally no later than the beginning of the student’s third semester in the program, and that the remainder of the supervisory committee be chosen normally in the same semester in which the senior supervisor is appointed.

Breadth Requirement

Research Topics Seminars The research topics seminar series is presented over the course of the year by faculty and graduate students. Faculty presentations acquaint new graduate students with the research interests of the faculty. Graduate student presentations typically showcase thesis research. Students in the first year of graduate study are required to attend faculty research topics seminars to become familiar with the research interests of the faculty.

MSc Program Students in the MSc program are expected to acquire breadth of knowledge through a sequence of courses and depth of knowledge through completion and defence of a thesis or a project. Under normal circumstances, an MSc program should be completed within six semesters and should not require longer than eight semesters. An MSc student must choose between thesis and project options by

Students in the PhD program are required to demonstrate breath of knowledge as outlined below and demonstrate the capacity to conduct original research through the completion and defence of an original thesis. Under normal circumstances a PhD degree should be completed within 12 semesters and should not require longer than 15 semesters.

PhD students are required to demonstrate breadth to a level equivalent to at least 21 credit hours of graduate level course credit (typically seven courses), subject to the following distribution. • three courses chosen such that one course is drawn from each of areas I, II and III of Table1. • two additional courses chosen from any two of areas I, II and III and from sub-areas different from those used for the first three courses. • two additional courses chosen by the student. Up to two courses outside of computing science may be used in satisfying the breadth requirement, subject to approval by the student’s supervisory committee and the graduate breadth evaluation committee. A PhD student must achieve a minimum CGPA of 3.4 and passing marks in all courses. Students submit, within two months of program entry, a proposal to satisfy breadth requirements or may request that up to four courses and any portion of the breath distribution be waived based on previous graduate work, or by examination. A minimum of nine credit hours (typically three courses) is required. The graduate breadth evaluation committee may approve the proposal or recommend alternatives at its discretion. The breadth requirement is normally completed by the end of the third to sixth program semester, in proportion to the number of courses actually required.

Graduate Applied Sciences – Computing Science 291

Depth Requirement PhD students demonstrate depth of knowledge in their research area through a public depth seminar and oral examination, give a thesis proposal seminar, and submit and defend a thesis based on their independent work which makes an original contribution to computing science.

Depth Examination The depth seminar and examination may be scheduled at any time following the completion of breadth requirements. Typically this is between the fifth and seventh semester in the PhD program; a recommendation is made by the graduate breadth evaluation committee, in proportion to the amount of course work required to satisfy the breadth requirement. The examining committee consists of the supervisory committee and one or two additional examiners recommended by it and approved by the graduate program committee. The exam centres on the student’s research. The examining committee, in consultation with the student, specifies the topics in the examination. The student prepares a written survey and gives a public depth seminar; the oral examination follows, and then the committee meets to evaluate the student’s performance in the program to that point. The committee’s evaluation is diagnostic, specifying additional work in weak areas if such exists. A second depth examination or withdrawal from the program may be recommended in extreme cases.

Thesis Proposal The student, in consultation with her/his supervisory committee, formulates and submits, for approval, a written thesis proposal consisting of a research plan and preliminary results. The student gives a seminar and defends the originality and feasibility of the proposed thesis to the supervisory committee. The thesis proposal is normally presented and defended within three semesters of the depth examination.

Thesis Defence Regulations specifying the examining committee composition and procedures for the final public thesis defence are in sections 1.9 and 1.10 of the Graduate General Regulations. PhD students give a seminar; typically this will be about their thesis research and is presented in the interval between distribution of the thesis to the committee and the defence.

Degrees Offered The School of Engineering Science offers two distinct master’s degrees, master of engineering (MEng), or master of applied science (MASc) and a doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree.

Master’s Program The MEng program, for part time study by practising engineers, is based on a set of courses, normally offered in the evenings, plus a project performed in industry. The principal areas of study for the MEng

Graduate Applied Sciences – Engineering Science 293 program are electronics, communications and signal processing. The MASc is a full time program with primary emphasis on the thesis, rather than course work, is more exploratory than the MEng, and covers a greater range of study.

Admission The normal admission requirement to the MEng and MASc programs is a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, engineering science or a related area, with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (B grade) from a recognized university, or equivalent. The quantity of faculty members limits the number of MASc students accepted into the programs.

Transfer from MEng Program to MASc Program Normally transfer from MEng program to MASc program will be considered under the following conditions. • Undergraduate GPA. Minimum undergraduate CGPA of 3.3 required. • MEng GPA. On at least two courses, a minimum CGPA of 3.5.

Degree Requirements – MEng Program Course Work MEng candidates are required to complete a minimum of 21 credit hours of course work at the graduate level. Of the courses listed below, all students must take ENSC 820. Those specializing in communications must take ENSC 805 and 810; those in electronics must take one of ENSC 851, 852 or 853 and students in intelligent systems and control must take ENSC 801. In addition to the course work, an MEng student is required to complete a project. The project is expected to take a minimum of two person months. In the event that the project is performed in the student’s work place, the student will receive academic supervision, as required, from the student’s senior supervisor, and day-to-day supervision from the student’s manager, or a designated associate. Industrial supervisors, who will sit on the student’s supervisory committee, will be appointed by the graduate chair, in consultation with the senior supervisor. In the case of very small companies, alternate arrangements will be made for industrial supervision. In addition to submission of a technical report at the completing the project, the student will make an oral presentation to the supervisory committee and the graduate chair. A grade will be assigned based on the quality of the submitted report, the presentation, and the student’s understanding of the subject. A grade of ‘complete’ or ‘in progress’ will reflect the majority decision. In the case of an ‘in progress’ grade, the student is required to re-submit the project report and present it again.

MEng Fees Students registered in the MEng program may complete their program before paying the minimum total fee for a master’s degree. In such cases, an additional payment is required prior to graduation to satisfy the minimum fee requirement of six full-time fee units. See Graduate Fees.

Degree Requirements – MASc Program MASc candidates complete 30 credit hours consisting of a minimum of 12 credit hours of course work, plus a thesis equal to 18 credit hours. The courses will, in consultation with the senior supervisor, normally be selected from the list below. Additional courses may be required to correct deficiencies in the student’s background. The thesis is based on an independent project with a significant

research component. The student defends the thesis at an examination, in accordance with regulations.

Graduate Research Internship With the approval of the supervisory committee, students accepted in the MASc or PhD programs have the option of doing research internship in industry. The responsibility for finding a suitable internship rests with the student, though the senior supervisor will provide guidance.

is enrolled. Alternatives require approval of the student’s supervisory committee. At most six hours may be senior level undergraduate courses. At most six credit hours may be directed studies. At least six credit hours must be within engineering science.

Qualifying Examination

The proposal must be approved by the supervisory committee and by the graduate committee. The proposal must include the following. • justification for undertaking the work in industry • agreement regarding intellectual property and publications • funding arrangement

To qualify the student will submit a brief written research proposal and defend it orally to his/her supervisory committee within the first 14 months of admission. The proposal defence will be judged according to the feasibility and scientific merits of the proposed research, and demonstration of a sophisticated understanding of general material in the student’s major area of research. This level of understanding is associated with senior undergraduate and first year graduate course material. The possible outcomes of the qualifying examination are ‘pass,’ ‘marginal’ and ‘fail’ (a student with ‘marginal’ will be required to re-submit the research proposal and defend it for the second and final time within six months and/or to take more courses, a ‘failing’ grade requires withdrawal).

0n-campus Presence

Thesis

During the internship, the student must spend at least one day per week (or equivalent as approved by the graduate committee) on campus to meet with his/her supervisor and attend regular seminars. This is in addition to time spent on campus for course work.

Students define and undertake original research, the results of which are reported in a thesis. An examining committee will be formed as defined in section 1.9.3 of the Graduate General Regulations. Students will conform to residence requirements as outlined in section 1.7.3 of the Graduate General Regulations. The senior supervisor will be an Engineering Science faculty member approved by the department’s graduate program committee.

In addition to satisfying the program’s degree requirements, students who choose this option must satisfy the following conditions.

Proposal

Oral Presentations A minimum of two oral presentations for the supervisory committee (not including the thesis defence) on the progress of the student’s work will be given during the internship.

Duration The duration of the internship will not exceed two semesters, in the case of a MASc student, or four semesters, in the case of a PhD student.

Failure to Comply See Graduate General Regulations 1.8.

PhD Program Admission To qualify for admission, a student must have a master’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, computer science or a related field, have submitted evidence that he or she is capable of undertaking substantial original research in engineering science, and have identified a faculty member willing to act as senior supervisor. See Graduate Regulations for other PhD program admission requirements.

Residence Requirement

The student’s progress will be reviewed every 12 months by a supervisory committee of three or more faculty members. At each annual review, the student presents a summary of his/her work to date, with the first review being the research proposal defence described in the section for Qualifying Examination.. Students not making satisfactory progress in their research topics, or failing to demonstrate satisfactory knowledge and understanding of recent publications in their general area of research, or failing to have their revised research proposal approved by the supervisory committee within 20 months of admission may be required to withdraw as per section 1.8.2 of the Graduate General Regulations.

Research Seminar PhD students present at least one research seminar per year as a part of regularly organized departmental seminars, including some based on completed or nearly completed thesis work. Students are expected to attend all the research seminars of the school.

Directed Studies and Special Topics Courses

Students will conform to the residence requirement as outlined in section 1.7.3 of the General Regulations.

Directed studies (ENSC 891, 892) and special topics (ENSC 894, 895) courses may be offered by the following research groups, subject to student interest and demand.

Transfer from the Master’s Program to the PhD Program

Communications Group

Proceeding to a PhD program without first completing a master’s degree is discouraged. However, a student may be admitted after at least 12 months in the MASc program if all the master’s requirements have been completed with a CGPA of 3.67 or better, outstanding potential for research has been shown, and approval of the student’s supervisory committee, graduate program committee and senate graduate studies committee been given.

At least six of these hours must be from the graduate course offerings in kinesiology. Courses will be chosen by the candidates’ supervisory committee after consultation with the candidate. For further information and regulations, refer to the Graduate General Regulations.

Thesis The school encourages early submission of the thesis proposal which is circulated to faculty and resident graduate students, and formally presented for discussion at an open forum. A formal defence of the completed thesis is made to the examination committee at an open forum. The thesis proposal must precede the defence by at least four months. For further information and regulations, refer to the Graduate General Regulations.

296 Graduate Applied Sciences – Kinesiology

Time Required for Degree Degree requirements can normally be completed in six semesters.

PhD Program Degree Requirements Students are admitted to the program in an area defined and determined prior to acceptance by the school’s graduate program committee. The program must be within the student’s and the school’s capabilities. Students must show competence in methodology relevant to proposed research. Normally the supervisory committee will prescribe courses necessary to complete the student’s academic preparation. In exceptional circumstances, the supervisory committee may allow the student to proceed without additional course work over and above that for a master’s degree. Study and research is designed to suit the background and research objectives of each student and may differ widely from student to student. A student may be directed to acquire an adequate knowledge of a language which would be relevant to his/her studies. The student will present two seminars plus a dissertation proposal on topics approved by the student’s supervisory committee. They will be presented during the regularly scheduled school seminar time, normally between the first and sixth semesters. Both the timing and subject matter of seminars will be chosen by the supervisory committee in consultation with the student.

Comprehensive Examinations At a time set by the supervisory committee, and within six semesters of residence, the student takes written and oral comprehensive examinations. The comprehensive examination committee consists of a minimum of five people, at least three of whom must be faculty members of the School of Kinesiology, including the senior supervisor and the school’s graduate program chair (or designate, who will act as the committee chair), plus one faculty member from outside the school.

Written There will be four written examinations.

Part One One exam paper will be devoted to the student’s field of specialization and will permit extensive exploration of the chosen research area. This examination is typically set by the senior supervisor in consultation with the comprehensive examination committee and consists of the following format. • an initial response, based on a four to six hour single sitting, closed book exam. • a further three days during which the student will prepare and submit a response to the same question.

Part Two The other three examinations are based on three supplementary and related areas chosen by the comprehensive examination committee after consultation with the student. Decision of the examining committee is by simple majority. Possible results of each written examination are pass, defer or fail. A deferral is used when the examiner wishes to defer judgment until after the oral examination. A student who fails one examination must rewrite that component. A complete rewrite of all four examinations at a subsequent sitting is required in the case of either failure of more than one or passing less than two of the written comprehensive examinations. An unsatisfactory

performance on the second trial necessitates withdrawal from the program.

KIN 821-3 Advanced Cardio-respiratory Physiology

Oral

Detailed review of the current topics in cardiovascular and respiratory physiology in health and disease. Prerequisite: KIN 305, 306 and 407.

Student proceed to the oral examination when a pass or deferred (maximum of two) grade on all four sections of the written examination is received. The oral examination is held by the comprehensive examination committee. The student will be examined primarily in the areas covered by the written examination, but questions may range over the entire discipline. Possible results of the oral examination are pass, defer or fail. A student who fails the oral examination may take it again only once. A deferral results in specific conditions of remedial work or re-testing as determined by the examining committee. A deferred evaluation will not be converted to a pass unless the conditions set by the comprehensive examination committee have been met within the established time frame. Otherwise, the deferral will lapse to a fail. The student cannot proceed to the dissertation proposal until the oral comprehensive examination has been passed.

Dissertation Dissertation Proposal Upon successful completion of the comprehensive examinations, the candidate prepares a dissertation proposal, which is circulated to faculty and resident graduate students, and will formally present this proposal for discussion at a school open forum. The proposal must precede the dissertation defence by at least one year.

Completed Dissertation The completed dissertation is judged by the candidate’s examining committee. If the dissertation defence is failed, the candidate is ineligible for further candidacy in the degree program at this University. For information and regulations, refer to the Graduate General Regulations.

The School of Resource and Environmental Management offers three interdisciplinary graduate programs in resource management: a master’s degree (MRM) in resource management, a combined master’s degree in resource management and business administration (in co-operation with the Faculty of Business Administration) (joint MRM/ MBA), and a PhD degree in resource in environmental management.

Adjunct Professors M. Barker BSc (Lond), MA, PhD (Tor) – Faculty

These programs are designed for recent graduates from a range of disciplines, and for individuals with experience in private organizations or public agencies dealing with natural resources and the environment. Relevant disciplines of undergraduate training or experience include fields such as biology, engineering, chemistry, forestry and geology, as well as business administration, economics, geography, planning and a variety of social sciences. The graduate programs provide training for professional careers in private or public organizations and preparation for further training for research and academic careers. Some courses are scheduled in the evenings or week long blocks. An optional cooperative education program permits students to work in a private organization or a resource management agency to gain first hand experience. Students take an integrated sequence of courses in complementary fields, pursue further courses in their area of specialization in the school and throughout the University, and complete a research project on a topic involving more than one traditional discipline. The aim is to increase familiarity and competence in understanding the dynamics of natural resources, the strategies and techniques of natural resource and environmental planning and management, and the biological, physical, social, economic and institutional implications of resource decisions. Students also become familiar with various quantitative methods of analysis and aids to decision making. In the field of natural resources, in particular, it is important that an academic program stress problem-solving as well as creative and critical thinking skills rather than focus primarily on subject matter such as fisheries, economics, or forestry. The courses are designed specifically for resource and environmental management students. This full time faculty complement provides a strong focus and integration that significantly enhances the graduate educational experience. Faculty and student research evaluates the effectiveness of existing natural resource management policies and, where appropriate, to develop alternatives. Innovative strategies often emerge from research into the biological dynamics of natural resources, or the institutional, social, economic or public policy aspects of their management. The emphasis in course materials and research programs is not simply to identify and describe resource and environmental problems, but to better understand causes and design acceptable solutions. Researchers apply a range of approaches including cost-benefit analysis, simulation modelling, legal and institutional assessment frameworks, and social surveys to address critical and emerging natural resource management issues on local, national, and international scales. Considerable research is in collaboration with resource management agencies to facilitate implementation of research results.

Co-operative Education The REM co-operative education program places students in a resource management agency (government or private) to gain professional work experience in applied problem solving. The optional co-op program can lead to work that is directly applicable to REM 699 Research Project.

Tourism Research In keeping with its multidisciplinary character, the school plays a leading role in Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Tourism Policy and Research which undertakes research, professional development seminars and workshops, and conducts planning and marketing research projects for public and private sector tourism organizations.

298 Graduate Applied Sciences – Resource and Environmental Management

Admission Requirements Refer to the Graduate General Regulations for admission requirements. Contact the School of Resource and Environmental Management directly for the application package. Those with degree qualifications in fields not directly related but with extensive experience in resource management are encouraged to apply. Individuals will vary in their preparation for the various disciplines involved in the school. Therefore, admission to the school might be conditional upon the completion of certain undergraduate courses. Application deadline: February 15.

Master’s Program Requirements Seventy-three credit hours must be completed, consisting of 43 credit hours of required courses plus 30 credit hours of electives. With the director’s approval, up to seven courses (35 credit hours) may be transfer credits from another institution. In exceptional cases, evidence of advanced education equivalent to one of the courses in the required group may allow a waiver for that course by the program director, thereby reducing the total degree requirements to 68.

Prerequisite Courses All students must be familiar with the material covered in an undergraduate course in parametric and nonparametric statistics.

Required Courses REM 601-5 Natural Resources Management I: Theory and Practice REM 611-5 Applied Population and Community Ecology REM 621-5 Economics of Natural Resources REM 631-5 River Basin Analysis, Planning and Management REM 698-3 Field Resource Management Workshop REM 699-10 Research Project REM 801-5 Principles of Research Methods and Design in Resource and Environmental Management and one of REM 642-5 Regional Planning I REM 644-5 Public Policy Analysis and Administration

Elective Courses To fulfil the required 30 credit hours of electives, students generally choose a set of graduate courses that support their particular research interests. In consultation with the student’s senior supervisor, these courses may be chosen from offerings of other departments.

for expertise in traditional management disciplines thus continues to grow, and the capability of managers is greatly increased when their academic and professional experience encompasses an understanding of the roles various disciplines can play in addressing resource issues. This program provides more in-depth opportunities and integrated education in study areas requiring natural resource and business management expertise. It gives students increased familiarity and competence in understanding not only the dynamics of natural resource systems, strategies and decisionmaking frameworks for their planning and management, but also an appreciation of the economic business implications of those strategies. It has a distinctly integrated natural resource and business management perspective. The joint degree program will encourage areas of concentration in policy, marketing, accounting, finance and organizational behaviour. While students are exposed to topical issues related to specific subject areas such as tourism, fisheries, forestry and water management, the program stresses the development of integrated problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Student research evaluates existing and develops new and effective natural resource management systems. Students apply quantitative and qualitative techniques derived from business and natural resource management disciplines to address these issues. Full time faculty members from the school and the Faculty of Business Administration provide guidance and focus for these research initiatives.

Admission Requirements Up to five students per year are admitted. Candidates must meet the entrance requirements of both the school and Faculty of Business Administration graduate studies committees. Minimum admission requirements are as follows. • a minimum undergraduate CGPA of 3.0 (or equivalent) • acceptable score on GMAT test • acceptable score (570 minimum) on TOEFL if native language is not English • acceptable score (5 minimum) on Test of Written English • successful completion of undergraduate courses in probability and statistics • introduction to computer programming; differential and integral calculus • three strong letters of reference, of which two should be provided by university professors familiar with the student’s capabilities

Degree Requirements This program leads to a master of resource management (MRM) and a master of business administration (MBA). Students must successfully complete 17 courses and a thesis.

Courses

Joint Master in Natural Resource Management and Business Administration Admission of students into this program is suspended pending determination of the program’s future status. A combined program leading to a joint master degree in resource management (MRM) and business administration (MBA) is offered. This unique opportunity is designed to provide students with interdisciplinary skills and strategies for effective natural resource management. Problems in the management of competing demands for tourism, forestry, energy, fisheries, water, mineral and agricultural resources are intensifying. Demand

The integrated combination of required and elective courses specify that 11 courses be derived from the core of the traditional MRM and MBA programs. Additionally, a minimum of three electives must be completed from the 800 level of the MBA program and another three must be chosen from MRM. These electives focus studies into areas of concentration. In consultation with their MRM/MBA supervisory committee, students select three courses from a specific field of concentration in the MBA curriculum (e.g. accounting, finance, marketing, policy, and organizational behavior); as well as three elective courses within specialty areas in the MRM curriculum (e.g. tourism, forestry, energy management, regional resource planning, environmental management, and fisheries management).

The following submissions must be completed prior to consideration for entry. • completed Simon Fraser University graduate application form • the applicant’s letter of statement of interest • completed Faculty of Business Administration supplementary application form • official transcript of undergraduate grades (mailed directly from the granting institution) • three confidential letters of reference, at least two of which come from faculty members familiar with the student’s work (forms are supplied for references) • official transcript of GMAT score • official transcript of test of English as a foreign language (TOEFL) and test of written English (TWE) if student’s first language is not English and their undergraduate degree(s) were not obtained at an institution in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand where English has been the language of instruction All complete applications must be submitted no later than February 1 of the year the student is seeking a September entry into the joint program.

Graduate Applied Sciences – Resource and Environmental Management 299

Doctoral Program Admission All applicants must submit at the time of application a 500-1000 word statement of interest to describe how this program fits into career objectives and what they expect to get from the program. To qualify for admission, an applicant must meet Simon Fraser University’s graduate general regulations and must have, • the ability to carry out innovative, independent and original PhD level research in that field • high academic standing in previous university work • a master’s degree in a related discipline • excellent performance on the graduate record exam (GRE). Students must send the GRE scores to the School of Resource and Environmental Management. Applicants must be accepted by an identified senior supervisor prior to admittance. PhD applicants are strongly advised to visit the University for an interview prior to February 15 of the year of requested admission. See Graduate Regulations for PhD admission requirements.

Transfer from the Master’s Program to the PhD Program A student in REM who shows exceptional ability may apply to transfer to the PhD program only if the first two requirements above are met, has been in the REM program for at least two but not more than four semesters, and if the applicable university regulations for transfers are met. Transfer applications must have the approval of the student’s supervisory committee, REM graduate studies committee, and the senate graduate studies committee. Transfer students will be eligible to earn only the PhD degree.

Degree Requirements Courses A minimum of 20 credit hours of graduate courses (excluding directed studies courses) are required, at least four of which must be in one of two disciplines in the student’s research area plus two others (see curriculum below). Normally, students take six to eight courses, approved by the supervisory committee, to prepare for comprehensive exams. Courses outside the school require approval of the REM graduate studies committee.

Comprehensive Examinations Normally, students will take a total of six to eight courses in order to prepare adequately for the comprehensive exams. Courses may be taken outside the School of Resource and Environmental Management, subject to the approval of the REM graduate studies committee. Comprehensive examinations will normally be taken within five semesters of full time registration after admission to the PhD program (or to the MRM degree program in cases of transfer from that program). The comprehensive exams in REM have two major parts with distinct goals. The first is the breadth exam, which is intended to assess the candidate’s multidisciplinary knowledge and abilities. The breadth exam will examine the candidate in three areas: environmental science, natural resource and environmental economics, and resource and environmental policy and planning. The breadth exam will comprise of three written field statements, one in each area, and an oral exam based on the field statements. The second major component is the depth exam, which is essentially an oral defence of a written PhD proposal and its theoretical and methodological

background. This exam will have the scope of the comprehensives more typical of single-discipline programs. Together, these exams should demonstrate the readiness of a PhD candidate to pursue and complete a multidisciplinary research project of a scope and standard that will merit awarding the PhD degree in resource and environmental management. Prior to scheduling comprehensive exams, students must meet with their supervisory committee and the committee must submit a progress report to the chair of the graduate program committee recommending that the student proceed to the comprehensive examination.

Thesis Proposal In conjunction with their supervisory committee, students develop a detailed written research proposal that defines the area and methods of intended research. Normally within six full time semesters after admission to the PhD program (or within four semesters if the student transferred from the MRM degree), a student must orally present a written thesis proposal at a departmental seminar. The candidate’s supervisory committee attends along with other interested faculty and students. The oral examining committee is composed of the supervisory committee plus the REM graduate studies committee chair. This thesis proposal presentation determines whether the student’s research abilities are adequate for PhD level research and whether the proposed research is feasible and has merit. The student must pass this presentation successfully to remain in the program. Those who do not make satisfactory progress on their research topic, or who fail to demonstrate adequate knowledge and understanding of recent publications in their research area, or whose revised thesis proposal isn’t approved within the time limit given at the start of this section, will be required to withdraw from the PhD program. A written thesis based on a student’s original research is the final requirement and must include aspects of at least two disciplinary areas (such as ecology and economics, or toxicology and law). The topic must be approved as noted above, and the student’s progress will be evaluated annually according to the Graduate General Regulations. To graduate, students must successfully complete a thesis defence, following the usual University format. All other general requirements for a PhD will be followed as outlined in the Calendar.

Residence Requirement A PhD candidate must be registered and in residence at Simon Fraser University for the minimum number of semesters as described in the Graduate General Regulations.

Curriculum All REM PhD students must complete at least four courses as follows. REM 801-5 Principles of Research Methods and Design in Resource and Environmental Management REM 802-5 Institutional Design and Decision Making for Environmental Management At least one course in the student’s primary field At least one course in the student’s secondary field All courses in the school can be taken for credit toward a PhD degree except REM 601 and directed studies courses.

MA Program Admission Students holding a baccalaureate or the equivalent from a recognized institution must meet the general admission requirements for graduate studies (see sections 1.3.2. and 1.3.8 of the Graduate General Regulations). Normally, an applicant should have at least one course in social science research methods and one undergraduate introductory course in statistics. Applicants must forward official transcripts and send a short statement of interests. This statement should include a description of previous employment, and research or other work relevant to the candidate’s proposed graduate studies. Letters of recommendation from people who know the candidates and are familiar with their work are required. A cheque or money order for $55 (Canadian), made payable to Simon Fraser University, should be submitted with the application form.

Degree Requirements Candidates for an MA degree must take a minimum of eighteen (18) credit hours of course work consisting of • Research Methods I (CRIM 860) and one of • Research Methods II (CRIM 861) • Research Methods III (CRIM 862)

plus • Theories of Crime I (3 credit hours) • Proseminar (3 credit hours) • at least six (6) hours selected from additional graduate curriculum offerings • satisfactory completion and oral defence of an original MA thesis The thesis will not normally be more than 100 pages in length, including bibliography and footnotes, but exclusive of appendices.

Satisfactory Performance The candidate’s progress is assessed at least twice a year by the school (spring and fall). A student who performs unsatisfactorily is not permitted to continue in the program, subject to the procedure for the review of unsatisfactory progress described in Graduate General Regulation 1.8.2.

PhD Program Admission The minimum university requirements for admission to the doctoral program are provided in the Graduate General Regulations (section 1.3.3.) Normally, an applicant should have at least one course in social science research methods and one undergraduate introductory course in statistics. Direct admission may be approved for persons with a master’s in criminology, a master’s in a discipline other than criminology and, under exceptional circumstances, with an undergraduate degree or its equivalent provided that a CGPA of at least 3.5 has been maintained. Applicants must submit a statement of research interests and at least two examples of previous academic work. In exceptional circumstances, undergraduate degree holders (or equivalent), may be admitted if they meet general University regulations for entry with a BA, have demonstrated a capacity for original research at the undergraduate level, and are recommended for direct entry by at least two criminology faculty members eligible to teach or supervise in the PhD program. Those who meet the GPA requirement and have demonstrated research ability through field criminal justice experience may also be considered on recommendation of at least two faculty members involved in the program. Those so admitted have their status reviewed by the end of the second semester following admission. The graduate program committee determines the candidate’s ability to complete the PhD by direct entry. The student will either be confirmed as an approved candidate for the PhD in criminology or directed to seek admission the master’s program. Because many disciplines are allied to criminology, the graduate program committee reserves the right to determine equivalent courses already taken in the applicant’s master’s program. At the time of

304 Graduate Arts – Economics admission, the graduate program committee may waive up to 15 credit hours of requirements. A cheque or money order for $55 (Canadian), made payable to Simon Fraser University, must be submitted with the application form. The school must receive the completed application, for entrance to the fall semester, by February 1. Applicants are informed of the decision immediately thereafter. Note: Those with two consecutive degrees from the School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University will not normally be admissible to the PhD program.

2.1 Students specializing in economics write comprehensive examinations in economic theory and one other field. In addition, students must complete a field either by successfully taking two courses approved by the graduate program chair (other than readings courses) with at least an A- average, or a comprehensive examination in the field. The economic theory comprehensive exams consist of separate examinations in micro and macroeconomic theory and usually encompass the topics and readings covered by ECON 802, 803, 805 and 806. Comprehensive exams in other fields normally encompass topics and readings presented in the main courses in those fields.

Students must complete at least eight (thesis option), 16 (extended essay option), or 20 (project option) additional credits of approved graduate course work which includes ECON 836 if the extended essay or project option is chosen. Other courses may be drawn from ECON and BUEC graduate courses or, with permission of the graduate program chair and senior supervisor, from graduate business administration courses or other subjects.

Research and Writing Ability Evidence of research and writing ability met by the satisfactory completion of one thesis, two extended essays or one research project is required. The form of these research papers must meet the standards set out in the Graduate General Regulations section.

Oral Examination An oral examination is required covering the student’s written research in particular, and program in general, as outlined in the Graduate General Regulations section.

Admission Requirements

Dissertation Procedures

See the Graduate General Regulations for admission requirements. Also required is an MA with graduate work in the core areas equivalent to ECON 802, 805, 835 and 836. Any core area deficiency must be filled by taking the appropriate course(s) in addition to the course work normally required. In certain cases, students may be transferred into the PhD program from the MA program after meeting core and credit requirements for the MA (60 credits beyond the BA honors is required for such a PhD program).

A thesis proposal seminar should be given by each candidate at an early stage in the research program. Each candidate produces a written prospectus, makes it available to all interested department members and presents it on a pre-announced date in ECON 900. The candidate’s supervisory committee should attend the presentation and arrange for other interested members of the department to also attend. That committee, along with the candidate, should decide on the future course of research on the thesis, paying due regard to the comments that have been received.

The MA program allows three options. thesis option – core work plus three ECON or BUEC graduate courses and an original thesis. extended essay option – core work plus five ECON or BUEC graduate courses, (including ECON 836-4) and two extended essays. project option – core work plus six ECON or BUEC graduate courses, (including ECON 836-4) and a research project. Normally, every MA program will include the following.

Core Course Work Students must achieve satisfactory competence in microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, quantitative methods and mathematical economics. Except where students have successfully undertaken equivalent work in graduate work at another university, students must complete ECON 802 and 805. Those with an inadequate background in microeconomics or macroeconomics may be required to complete undergraduate courses (no graduate credit) in these subjects before attempting either ECON 802 or ECON 805. The mathematical economics requirement is met by satisfactorily completing ECON 798 in addition to the normal course requirements for the MA degree. Alternatively, students may challenge the course by

Degree Requirements The PhD program allows specialization in economics, economics and business administration, or economics and a related discipline.

Canadian Institute for Advanced Research 2400 Harbour Centre, (604) 291-5036 Tel R.G. Lipsey BA (Br Col), BA (Tor), PhD (LSE), Alcan Fellow The University houses one centre of the Canadian Institutes for Advanced Research Program in Economic Growth and Policy. It examines long term economic growth with special emphasis on the importance of ideas and innovations, and the implications for economic policy. It is influenced by the view that the prevailing neoclassical model is inadequate to deal both with the consequences of accepting technological change as an endogenous economic activity, and with the radically altered character of the modern global economy, and is therefore not a fully adequate guide to the formulation of government and corporate policy. The program has assembled an international network of researchers working, individually and collectively, to examine the dynamics of innovations, change, and the creation and distribution of income and wealth. By understanding these dynamics, it is hoped that effective economic policy can be formulated.

While offering students the opportunity of specializing in one of the various areas of strength in the department, the program requires them to ground their interest in a wide and flexible understanding of English studies. Students without a strong background in English may be required to strengthen their preparation before admission. The program may be completed in two ways: In option A students take four courses, write a thesis of about 100 pages and defend it in an oral examination, while in option B they take six courses and write a field examination in three of the six courses followed by an oral exam based on the written. Students in either option may have one course as an individually supervised study to pursue a special interest or satisfy a need. Students may enrol in one or two courses per semester. Students also working as teaching assistants will complete the program in six semesters. For further departmental requirements consult the departmental handbook. The department recognizes the special needs of working people who wish to improve qualifications.

Some graduate courses are regularly offered at night, and part-time students are permitted (though regulations require that all MA students must complete their work within twelve semesters of full time equivalent enrolment or six calendar years, whichever is shorter).

Specialization in Print Culture 1700-1900 The MA program in English also permits students to specialize in the politics of print culture (1700-1900), focusing on the changing role of printed texts in an emerging commercial society. This specialization will have an interdisciplinary focus.

Interdisciplinary Studies In addition to the MA programs described here, which accommodate and encourage interdisciplinary study, the University offers degree programs to exceptionally able applicants whose proposed course of studies cannot be carried out in any existing program. Students interested in pursuing an MA may wish to submit a proposal for special arrangements through the Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies (see section 1.3.4 under Graduate General Regulations).

Examinations While the general regulations set the minimum cumulative grade point average necessary for continuance at 3.0, the department regards grades below B to be unsatisfactory and expects students to achieve an average above the minimum. If progress is deemed unsatisfactory, withdrawal under section 8.3 of the Graduate General Regulations may be required. Thesis option students submit a thesis proposal and are examined by the supervisory committee no later than one semester following the completion of course work. Students proceed with the thesis only after the approval of the supervisory committee and the graduate program committee. Students in the non-thesis option will be exempt from this procedure.

Language Requirement All MA program students must demonstrate a reading ability in one language other than English that is acceptable to the students’ supervisory committee. Ability will be determined by a time limited examination consisting of the translation of a passage of literature or translation of a literary or scholarly passage in the particular language. A dictionary is permitted. The Department of French offers courses to help graduate students meet language requirements. Students interested in courses in German, Russian or Spanish should consult with the Office of the Dean of Arts. For further information and regulations, refer to the Graduate General Regulations section 1.

Joint Master’s in English and French Literatures This program allows students who have already been trained in both literatures to continue studies beyond the undergraduate level. For course requirements, please see the graduate Department of French section.

PhD Program Applicants to the Department of English’s small PhD program will have a well planned project that integrates into the department’s areas of specialization. Cross disciplinary proposals and innovative studies are encouraged. Students are

Graduate Arts – French 309 expected to contribute their input at all stages of the program. The department has expertise in major areas of English literature and language with special strength in the 20th century. The department’s Centre for Research in Professional and Academic Writing offers opportunities for advanced study in rhetoric and writing, including participation in the Centre’s research projects and instructional programs. The Bennett Library’s contemporary literature collection has the largest single collection of post war experimental and avant garde poetry in Canada. It also contains a substantial Wordsworth collection and William Blake drawings, illuminations and engravings in facsimile.

Admission For admission to the doctoral program students are required to have an MA degree or equivalent with high standing from a recognized university. Applicants must have a good background in English studies. To fill any academic gaps, extra undergraduate or graduate courses may be required. To apply, three reference letters, two samples of academic writing, and a one to two page description of the doctoral project are required. This program has been approved for part time status.

Those in a field exam may be allowed to repeat it once not later than the following semester. A second failure leads to elimination from the program.

Thesis Oral The thesis oral ensures coverage in the thesis area. Upon successful completion of field exams, the student submits a reading list by September 15, on the background readings for the thesis area, to the senior supervisor. The supervisory committee for the thesis oral, consisting of the senior supervisor and one other supervisor, responds to the proposed reading list by October 1. The final list is approved by the graduate program committee. The oral examination on the thesis area and background material will take place by December 15. The oral exam will be approximately two hours. The oral will be graded pass/fail. In exceptional cases a distinction will be recognized.

Language Requirement PhD program students must demonstrate a reading ability in a language other than English that is acceptable to the supervisory committee. Ability is determined by a time limited exam consisting of the translation of a literature or criticism passage in that language. A dictionary is permitted.

Six semesters

The Department of French, the Spanish Program, and the Latin American Studies Program offer courses to help graduate students meet language requirements. For German or Russian courses consult the Office of the Dean of Arts.

Program Requirements

For further information and regulations, refer to the Graduate General Regulations section (1.)

Application Deadline February 1

Residence Requirement

The first two years of the program provide necessary grounding before students pursue a thesis project; in the third year, students will engage in the research and writing of the dissertation. Upon admission, an advisor is assigned until a supervisor and supervisory committee are selected. The doctoral program has three stages.

Courses Four courses are completed by the end of the third semester: any three of choice plus ENGL 810/811 graduate professional development seminar, a required graduate course. The senior supervisor in consultation with the graduate program committee will advise students in their choice of courses.

Field Exams and Thesis Oral Students must write field exams by the end of the sixth semester, and complete the thesis oral by the end of the seventh semester.

The Thesis Students complete their research and proceed with the writing of their thesis. Students have 9-12 semesters to complete their degree.

Individualized Field Exams Each candidate will write two field exams. The student will take home the examination question and complete the paper within three days. The submitted examination paper should be no more than 30 pages. There will be no oral defence. In each field exam area, a partial reading is prepared by the faculty specializing in the area. Students add to the reading list. The completed list must be approved by two faculty in the area and the graduate program committee. Current field reading lists may be obtained from the department. Both field exams are completed by July 30 of the second year in the program (sixth semester). The examiners consist of two faculty in the area appointed by the graduate program committee. The senior supervisor cannot be an examiner in the field exam. Students are awarded pass/fail or pass with distinction for truly exceptional exams.

Thesis In consultation with the graduate program committee, the student creates a supervisory committee consisting of a senior supervisor and two readers (one may be from another department). By the third semester, the student submits the proposed supervisory committee and thesis proposal to the graduate program committee for approval. The completed thesis is defended in an oral examination. The (defence) examining committee consists of a chair (normally the graduate program chair), members of the supervisory committee (senior supervisor and at least one other department member), a faculty member external to the Department of English, and an external examiner who is not a member of Simon Fraser University. From the time of the supervisory committee’s appointment, the student and senior supervisor meet regularly (at least three times a semester) through the field exam period, the semester of the thesis oral, and the period of thesis research and writing. It is the student’s responsibility to set up a schedule of meetings. The senior supervisor should inform the graduate program committee of absences of more than a month to arrange for another supervisory committee member to meet regularly with the student. Students in research (ENGL 899) should give the supervisor a written report about the research at the end of every semester. This is particularly important for those who do not submit chapters of their work. Any changes in direction or new developments should be discussed. Students may make changes to their supervisory committee when, for instance, the development of a more refined topic indicates a different faculty member would be more appropriate for the committee. Changes made for any reason must be formally approved by the graduate program committee and the dean of graduate studies.

Graduate Courses ENGL 801-5 The Theory of Literary Criticism Explores some of the basic theoretical problems involved in the reading and interpretation of literature. May treat, among others, epistemological, intertextual, social, historical, semiotic, gender, and psychological issues.

ENGL 802-5 Theories of Language and Writing The study of the discursive and/or non-discursive (poetic) uses of language. May include theories and practice of rhetoric and composition.

MA Program Conditions of Admission Candidates for admission must satisfy the general admission requirements for graduate studies (1.3.2 and 1.3.8 of the Graduate General Regulations). Program admission requires a sound background in French literature or French linguistics, as well as a good command of both oral and written French. Candidates lacking these must remedy the deficiency before admission is granted. This may be accomplished through one or two semesters as a qualifying student (Graduate General Regulation 1.3.5). Upon admission, each student will be assigned a temporary supervisor.

These courses are offered as needed to complete or to enhance a student’s program. Depending upon content and enrolment, they may be offered as directed readings or as seminars rather than lecture courses.

Literature Topics in the following literature courses will vary to meet the interests of both students and faculty. FREN 823-5 Interdisciplinary Approaches to French Literature FREN 824-5 Topics in French Canadian Literature FREN 825-5 Topics in French Literature FREN 826-5 Monographic Studies

The program’s degree requirements may be completed ‘with thesis’ or ‘without thesis.’ In either case, the student works under a supervisory committee’s direction (Graduate General Regulation 1.6) that has been appointed by the end of the second semester. The course work, thesis topic or area of field examination will be approved by the supervisory committee.

Note: Upon the supervisory committee’s approval, one course from the other concentration may substitute, or one may be taken outside the department. For a linguistics concentration, those demonstrating adequate preparation in general linguistics may take a Department of Linguistics course. For a literature concentration, consider a course in the Department of English. For a French as a second language (FSL) concentration, course selection is subject to the graduate program committee’s approval.

Admission For admission requirements refer to the Graduate General Regulations. Admission for MA/MSc students is in the fall semester only, and for PhD students in either the fall or spring semesters. Applications for fall admission should be completed by February 1 of that year, and applications for spring admission by September 15 of the previous year. The MA candidate, once admitted, works under the guidance of a faculty advisor, pending the choice of a supervisory committee. The supervisory committee, normally consisting of two faculty members, one of whom may be from outside the department, will be chosen by the second semester.

Degree Requirements The MA program offers a thesis option and an extended essay option. The former requires the submission of a high quality piece of research which will ordinarily involve the conceptualization of a problem and the collection, analysis and interpretation of empirical data. However, nonempirical research is possible. Extended essay option students submit two essays which are original because they make some distinctive contribution to research literature and ordinarily involve a critical review or synthesis of literature, concepts and/or techniques or the development of hypotheses, possibly to include pilot work. Neither the thesis nor the extended essays should be a modification of a paper completed for course work.

312 Graduate Arts – Geography The minimum course requirements for an MA are 12 credit hours (three one-semester courses) or 20 credit hours for the extended essay option and GEOG 700 and 701. Grading for GEOG 700 and 701 will be on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis and constitutes a (minimum) requirement in geographic methodology. GEOG 700 and 701 must be taken at the first available opportunity. As part of the 12/20 credit hours, students take either GEOG 704 or 706. In certain circumstances, with the advisor’s consent, the student can request this requirement be replaced by another course. Students complete minimum course requirements within the Department of Geography; permission to complete a minimum course requirement outside the department must be obtained from the graduate studies committee. Students with course deficiencies may be asked to complete more courses, including some at the undergraduate level and in other departments. Also, at the supervisory committee’s discretion, students may need to acquire knowledge of a language relevant to their studies. A written thesis prospectus is submitted to the supervisory committee by the end of the semester’s third week following completion of GEOG 700 and 701; the supervisory committee must approve the proposal prior to starting substantive research. In addition, the candidate must present the research proposal at a colloquium prior to the end of the third semester of residence (or by the end of the semester following completion of GEOG 700 and 701).

Master of Science Program The department offers a program leading to the MSc degree in the Faculty of Science. See the Geography entry in the Faculty of Science section.

PhD Program For admission requirements, refer to the Graduate General Regulations. Applicants must have completed MA or MSc requirements at SFU or equivalent. Students admitted to the PhD program without this background may be required to make up specified courses.

Supervisory Committee

The qualifying examination committee consists of at least three department faculty, (including the senior supervisor who is the committee chair), plus one faculty member from outside the department.

GEOG 715-4 Geographic Information Systems

Written exams comprise four papers jointly agreed upon by the qualifying examination committee. If the supervisory committee agrees, a field problem may be chosen which substitutes for one of the four written papers. The oral is held by the qualifying examination committee within three weeks following completion of all written examinations. The student is examined primarily in the areas of the topics covered by the written examinations, but questions may range over the entire discipline.

GEOG 716-4 Aerial Reconnaissance for Remote Sensing

Thesis Candidates successfully completing qualifying examinations will present a thesis proposal which will be circulated to faculty and resident graduate students. The candidate presents this proposal at a departmental colloquium no later than the end of the fifth semester of residence. The completed thesis will be judged by the candidate’s examining committee at an oral defence. If the thesis defence is failed, the candidate is ineligible for further candidacy in the degree program. For further information and regulations, see Graduate General Regulations.

Geography Graduate Courses GEOG 700-0 Introduction to Graduate Studies: Part I A required course designed to acquaint new graduate students with the research strengths of the department, research facilities in the University and its vicinity and with the methodologies of the main fields of geography. In addition, problems of both a philosophical and practical nature involved in the design and operationalization of geographic research will be examined.

GEOG 701-0 Introduction to Graduate Studies: Part II Completion of GEOG 700. Grading of GEOG 700 and 701 will be on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) basis.

The student, upon admission, works under the guidance of a faculty advisor, pending the choice of a supervisory committee. By the beginning of the second semester, a Department of Geography faculty member is chosen as a senior supervisor of the supervisory committee plus two or more additional committee members, one of whom may be from outside the department.

GEOG 704-4 Analytical Techniques for Human Geographers

Degree Requirements

An introduction to quantitative methods, statistical and physical modelling, sensitivity and error analysis, research design and data collection, editing and analysis in physical geography. GEOG 700, 704 and 706 are regularly scheduled in the fall semester and GEOG 701 is regularly scheduled in the spring semester. Courses 708 to 781 are scheduled more intermittently dependent, in part, on demand.

The advisor, and subsequently the supervisory committee, and the student determine a program of study to suit the background and research objectives of the candidate. No formal course work is required of students. After consultation with the supervisory committee, however, students can elect to take courses in order to acquire knowledge and skills, including language skills, relevant to their research.

Comprehensive Examination Written and oral qualifying examinations designed to establish the student’s competence to proceed with doctoral thesis research will normally be undertaken at the end of the second semester of residence and no later than the end of the third semester. Students who fail the written or oral examination may retake each, once, after a one semester lapse. Both parts of the qualifying examination must be successfully completed by the end of the fourth semester of residence.

Curriculum and Description There are five components to the program: core courses, required courses for each concentration, electives, project or thesis and internship. Students must complete six courses: two core courses, two required courses from the chosen concentration, and two electives. They must also complete a project. Under special circumstances, students may complete a thesis in lieu of the project (see Project or Thesis Option below).

Core Courses

The Gerontology Program offers a master of arts degree. There are two concentrations offered within the program: aging and the built environment, and health promotion/population health and aging. The MA program prepares students for professional roles with a high level of current knowledge of the field, and substantial competence in the kinds of research tasks necessary to undertake those roles. It also provides focused, interdisciplinary training for individuals in occupations that provide services to older adults. Further, the program will develop an appreciation of the complex ethical issues that are faced by persons working in gerontology.

GERO 803-4 Analytical Techniques for Gerontological Research

Each of the concentrations offered deals with specific problems and issues.

Areas of Concentration Requirements

The aging and the built environment concentration trains students in the planning, design, research and evaluation of working, living and recreational environments for older persons. Students attracted to this concentration will have backgrounds in architecture, interior design, urban and regional planning, social/human ecology, kinesiology, recreation and leisure studies, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, human factors, human geography, sociology or environmental or social psychology. The health promotion/population health and aging concentration provides students with knowledge that can be used for research, evaluation and critical analysis of our health care system and of specific health promotion strategies. Students with degrees in psychology, sociology, demography, medical geography, social work, nursing, health education, physiotherapy, and physical education or kinesiology would be probable candidates for this concentration. Students take an integrated core course sequence and courses specific to the selected concentration. The program builds upon the expertise, research activities and international reputation of the associated Gerontology Research Centre.

These courses will be required of all students.

Areas of Study The Department of History offers opportunities for graduate research leading to the MA and PhD degrees. The major areas of study are Canada, Europe, colonialism and imperialism, the Middle East, the Americas, and Africa. Only those students who wish to specialize in one of the specific fields covered by the list of MA courses in the case of MA applicants, or PhD areas of specialization in the case of PhD applicants, will be considered for admission to the respective programs. The department reserves the right to accept candidates only when a qualified supervisor is available and the University resources (including library facilities) are deemed adequate for the student’s stated research priority.

Admission of Graduate Students Admission for MA students will be in the fall semester only, and for PhD and part time MA students in either fall or spring semesters. Applications for fall

Conditions of Admission Candidates for the MA degree must satisfy the minimum entrance requirements set by the University: at least a 3.0 average or its equivalent. In addition, the department requires a 3.33 (B+) average in History courses taken during the last two years of the undergraduate program. A degree in a discipline related to history may be accepted in some cases.

Programs of Study Upon graduate program admission, students will be assigned a provisional supervisor. For information about the supervisory committee see the Graduate General Regulations section. All candidates for the MA degree must satisfy the following minimum requirements, totalling 30 credit hours. The Department of History offers a thesis option and a project option. For students choosing the thesis option, 20 semester hours of course work (four courses of five semester hours each) are required, of which at least 15 semester hours must be in graduate courses in the department. Students choosing the project option will take 30 hours of course work, (six courses of five semester hours each) of which 20 semester hours must be in graduate courses in the department. Normally, three seminars will be offered each fall and spring semester, including one in conjunction with the University of BC Department of History at our downtown campus. All students in Canadian history will be required to take HIST 806, another seminar of their choice and the research seminar HIST 814. All students in European history will be required to take HIST 810, another seminar of their choice, and the research seminar HIST 814. Other students are required to take one seminar and HIST 814. Remaining course requirements may be taken as readings courses. In HIST 814 each thesis option student will be required to write a paper which will become the basis of his/her thesis prospectus. The thesis prospectus should present a coherent thesis topic and place this topic within the framework of existing work in the area. Each project option student will be required to write a short research paper which will be the basis of the required research project. Students with significant financial support from fellowships, scholarships or teaching assistantships will be expected to take a full course load each semester. Those who receive no financial aid from fellowships, teaching assistantships, etc. may be considered part time students and may take only one course per semester. Students must complete a thesis of 10 credit hours with a maximum length of 100 pages, or a research project of approximately 35 pages. The student’s thesis/research project must demonstrate capability in scholarly research and procedures as well as independent critical thought. Before the beginning of the third semester, the thesis option student will defend his/her thesis prospectus before an examining committee made up of the supervisory committee and the chair of the graduate program committee, and the project option student will defend his/her research project. Full time thesis option students are expected to complete their degree requirements in a maximum of five semesters, and project option students in three. Part time students may take one additional year for completion.

PhD Program General Prospective candidates for the PhD degree should be advised that the degree is granted in recognition of the student’s general grasp of the subject matter of a broad area of study; for his/her ability to think critically; and for his/her power to analyse and coordinate problems and data from allied fields of study. A student ordinarily will be admitted to the PhD program after completion of an MA or its equivalent. Applicants with a BA applying directly to the PhD program must have at least a 3.5 GPA or its equivalent. Candidates for the MA degree at Simon Fraser University, may, under exceptional circumstances, be admitted into the PhD program without completing the requirements for an MA, if they have completed 20 hours of course work. Admission from the MA program will be contingent upon a distinguished level of performance, recommendation of directing faculty, scholarly potential, and the available resources of the department.

Programs of Study Upon program admission, each student is assigned a faculty supervisor. For information on supervisory committees, see Graduate General Regulations. The supervisory committee and the student determine three fields of study, at least two of which are chosen from the list printed below. A third field may be chosen within or outside the Department of History with permission of the graduate studies committee. The student and each field supervisor will agree as soon as possible on a general list of readings of approximately 45 books (or the equivalent) in each field. Reading list copies must be submitted to the chair of the graduate program committee by the beginning of the second semester. The graduate program committee will approve these lists and place them in the student’s files. Students are expected to cover the material on these lists, preferably by means of a structured reading and writing program with their supervisors. The comprehensive examinations will be based on the reading lists. Comprehensive examinations will be offered twice a year, in the first half of the fall and spring semesters. Written examinations will be administered in weeks five and six of the semester; oral examinations will be scheduled in weeks six through seven of the same semester. Students who miss the first round in their fourth semester due to extenuating circumstances, must take the examinations the following semester. For details on the nature of the comprehensive examinations, see the Department of History’s graduate brochure. All written examinations must be passed before the oral comprehensive takes place. A student who fails one of the written examinations, and one only, will have one additional chance for reexamination before sitting the oral examination. A ‘fail,’ ‘pass,’ or ‘pass with distinction’ will be assigned by the examining committee as a whole after the completion of the oral examination. A student who fails at this stage will not be allowed to continue in the program.

Thesis Within one semester of the successful completion of comprehensive examinations and formal admission to candidacy, the student will submit a thesis prospectus on a topic selected from the areas of specialization listed above. The same procedure will be followed as for MA candidates, but the thesis committee may seek the participation of another individual who has particular expertise in the area of the proposed thesis topic. Through his/her thesis the student must demonstrate ability to make an original contribution to knowledge. When the student has completed the thesis and is ready to offer himself/ herself for the degree, a thesis examining committee will be formed, composed of the chair of the departmental graduate program committee or his/her designate; the student’s supervisory committee; a member of faculty at the University or a person otherwise suitably qualified who is not a member of the supervisory committee; and an external examiner who shall not be an employee of the University. This committee will examine the student on the subject of the thesis and in the student’s major field of study. For further information and regulations see Graduate General Regulations.

Language Requirements Students will be required to demonstrate a reading ability in one language, other than English, that is acceptable to the supervisory committee. Students proposing to study Canadian history must demonstrate an ability to read French. Ability will be determined by a time limited examination consisting of the translation of a passage of history in the particular language. A dictionary will be permitted. The Department of French offers courses to help graduate students meet the language requirements.

Graduate Courses HIST 814 is a compulsory MA seminar offered each spring semester. HIST 806 and 810 will also be offered as seminars each year. At least two other seminars will normally be offered, the choice depending on the research interests of the majority of the students.

This program, which leads to the degree of master of arts, liberal studies, is designed for adults returning to study on a part time basis. The program, which is affiliated with the Department of Humanities, is offered at the University’s Harbour Centre campus during evening and weekend hours. In the best tradition of liberal education, the program addresses some of the great works of our intellectual and artistic heritage, studies the perennial concerns that have shaped our culture, and explores contemporary perspectives on traditional ideas and values. Small, interdisciplinary seminars provide the opportunity for wide reading, careful reflection, and intense discussion. They are taught by Simon Fraser University faculty chosen for their expertise and teaching excellence, and for their interest in interdisciplinary studies.

Admission

Graduate Courses

Applicants must satisfy the liberal studies graduate program committee of academic suitability for the program. In addition to fulfilling the normal graduate admission requirements, prospective students must demonstrate readiness for the program through letters of reference, samples of written work, and normally an interview. Exceptionally, the graduate program committee may recommend for admission applicants who do not meet normal requirements, but who by reason of prior experience, strong interest, and demonstrated competence are particularly suited to the program.

Students are required to complete six seminar courses, and to submit a) two extended essays for oral examination or b) one project for oral examination or c) complete two additional courses and write a field examination based on material covered in three completed courses. Two of the six required courses are core courses, which normally must be completed in the first two semesters of attendance (LS 800 and 801). The remaining four courses may be selected from among those offered within the program. Students may enrol for one or

Graduate Arts – Linguistics 317 two courses per semester. Exceptionally, and by agreement of both the graduate program committee and the department involved, a student may be permitted to take one graduate course in another department toward the liberal studies degree. The extended essays will normally be developed from papers completed for course work. The project, which may make significant use of non-written media, will also be developed from work done in the courses. They will be examined as for the examination of a master’s thesis under 1.10.1 of the Graduate General Regulations. One of the two additional courses under (c) above must be LS 898 and the other may be any course offered by the program other than LS 998 or 999. Preparation for the field examination will be undertaken on the advice of the supervisory committee. The liberal studies program is designed for students who seek educational breadth at the graduate level. It emphasizes a community of inquiry and discussion over independent research. For this reason, the program entails several special expectations, within the general regulations for graduate study at Simon Fraser University. Students admitted to the program are required to attend an introductory short-course conducted prior to the beginning of the first core course in the fall semester. Supervisory committees will be arranged by the chair of the graduate program committee. By approval of the dean of graduate studies, the supervisory and examination process for the extended essays or project requirement may be modified to emphasize collegial exchange. Students should expect to participate in out-of-class activities, such as pre-class dinners, that are designed to encourage interchange among the participants, and to enhance a sense of intellectual community. Because the program is designed for individuals having other obligations, and who may for that reason require greater or lesser amounts of time to complete the program, the program has been approved for part-time study. See 1.4.5 of the Graduate General Regulations.

Liberal Studies Courses Liberal studies courses are designed as intensive seminars. The core courses, LS 800 and 801, will develop a common base of readings for all program students. The other six regularly offered seminar courses may vary considerably in approach and in specific content on each occasion of their offering. Each of them, however, will address a central tension in our intellectual lives, trace some of its sources, and consider its impact on our experience of the present. All courses are cross-disciplinary in orientation and may draw on faculty from across the University to contribute expertise to the discussions.

LS 810-5 Self and Society This course will examine some aspects of the relationship between selfhood, as idea and experience, and social organization. Approaches to the topic will vary, but may involve scientific, social scientific, philosophical and aesthetic perspectives.

LS 811-5 Tradition and Modernity This course will examine ways in which ideas of tradition and traditional societies conflicted with forces of modernization and ideas of modernity.

LS 812-5 Science and Human Values This course will deal with issues surrounding the nature of the scientific attitude, the growth of scientific knowledge and the impact of scientific and technological change. Specific attention will be given to the value implications of science and technology in relation to other forms of human understanding and experience.

LS 813-5 Religious and Secular World Views This course will deal with the conflicts and continuities of secular and religious approaches to such fundamental issues as the origins of the universe and of the human species, human virtue, and human destiny.

LS 814-5 Liberty and Authority This course will examine the tension between liberty and authority as expressed in some of the following: political and judicial ideas and systems; conflicting economic ideologies; personal relationships.

LS 815-5 Organizing Social Realities: Gender, Class, Race, Nation This course will examine how distinctions among people create pattern and conflict, by studying some of the fundamental organizing concepts of society which both unite and divide people.

LS 819-5 Selected Topics This course provides an opportunity for the occasional offering of a seminar course appropriate to the program but on a topic outside the regular courses.

LS 829-5 Directed Study This course provides an opportunity for individual study on a topic of the student’s choice, under the guidance of one or more faculty. Arrangements for this course must be approved by the graduate program committee in advance of registration

Degrees Offered The program offers graduate work leading to the degrees of MA and PhD in linguistics. Applicants are considered in terms of how their proposed programs of study coincide with the research and teaching interests of the department’s faculty. Where a student’s interests span more than one field of study, a program of course work and supervised research in more than one field may be arranged. Individual programs may also be set up in co-operation with other departments under the special arrangements provisions of the Graduate General Regulations (section 1.3.4.)

Time Required for the Program Although University regulation allows a five year time limit for completion of the MA degree and eight years for the PhD, (including the work of the MA degree), an MA student is normally expected to complete the degree in two years; a PhD student in three years after the MA. For further information and regulations, refer to the Graduate General Regulations.

MA Program

LS 898-5 Graduating Seminar The final seminar for those students in the graduate liberal studies program pursuing the course option MA. The seminar will revisit the themes raised in the two opening core seminars (LS 800 and 801).

A student enrolled in a graduate program at SFU is supervised by a member of the SFU department, but may count graduate courses at UBC toward degree requirements and have members of the UBC department as other members of a supervisory committee. Since Simon Fraser University operates on a trimester system, and the University of British Columbia on a sessional system, the language adopted for descriptions of course requirements is intended to be neutral as between the two systems. Thus, in what follows, ‘course’ means ‘semester course’ or ‘one term course.’

Application Procedures The philosophy departments of Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia cooperate in the administration of graduate program applications. Prospective applicants are sent application forms for both universities and may submit them to one or both departments. Applicants who apply to both universities may indicate a preference to enrol at one of them. Applicants who wish to be considered by both departments are asked to submit applications and supporting documents to each department.

Application Fee An application fee of $55 is charged.

MA Program Admission In addition to meeting the minimum university admission requirements (see the Graduate General Regulations section), an applicant for a master’s degree normally must hold, from a recognized university, an honors bachelor’s degree with a cumulative grade point average of 3.33 or a bachelor’s degree with a grade point average of 3.5

A candidate for the MA degree in philosophy must • complete six courses, one of which may, with permission of the graduate studies committee, be a 300 or 400 level undergraduate course, and the rest graduate courses • show competence in such foreign languages as the graduate studies committee determines to be required for the proposed research. • have or acquire competence in formal logic at the level of PHIL 214, or higher when relevant to his or her research. plus either • submit and successfully defend a thesis, normally no more than 100 pages in length, giving evidence of independent critical ability or • complete two additional courses, one of which is an individual directed studies course with the senior supervisor in which the student will review and revise a paper from a previously completed graduate course to a standard suitable in form and content for submission to a professional journal. The resulting paper normally shall not exceed 30 pages. The student must also • normally attain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 • pass a final examination in which the paper produced in the individual studies course is evaluated and approved by the supervisory committee as conforming to the standard set out above. The student will present the paper in a public forum directed by the supervisory committee and at least one other faculty member in the field. After the public presentation and discussion, the expanded committee will arrive at an evaluation of the paper and the student’s performance at the examination. The department reserves the right to require any student to take undergraduate courses in addition to the required graduate courses.

PhD Program Admission Applications for the PhD degree must have completed • a bachelor’s degree with first class honors (and a CGPA of 3.67 or equivalent in philosophy courses), or • a master’s degree (or equivalent), or • a bachelor’s degree with one year of study in a master’s program, four graduate courses with a CGPA of 3.67 and clear evidence of research ability. (Transfer directly into a doctoral program is not normally permitted beyond the first year of study and will not be permitted after the completion of the second year in a master’s program.)

Degree Requirements Courses Students in the PhD program are normally required to take twelve courses, six in the first year of registration in the program, and six in the second. Two of the courses may, with permission of the graduate studies committee, be 300 or 400 level

Graduate Arts – Political Science 319 undergraduate courses, the rest must be graduate ones. Students admitted after one year in the MA program are normally required to complete at least eight graduate courses beyond those completed in the MA program. Students entering the PhD program after completing the requirements for an MA may have the course requirements reduced, but in no case by more than four courses. Each student’s committee will recommend, according to the student’s background and the requirements appropriate to the field of research, the kind and number of courses to be taken by the student. Students entering directly from the bachelor’s degree must, during the first year of graduate study, complete six courses with a CGPA of at least 3.33.

Examinations Students are required to pass a comprehensive examination, normally by the end of the first semester of the third year of registration in the program. Upon successful completion of the comprehensive exam and an approved thesis proposal, a student is admitted to candidacy for the PhD degree.

Language Requirements Students are required to demonstrate such competence in foreign languages as the graduate studies committee deems essential to the successful completion of their proposed research.

Formal Logic Requirement In addition to other course requirements, students are required to either have or acquire competence in formal logic at the level of PHIL 214, or higher when considered relevant to their research.

Thesis Proposal and Seminar Before the end of the first semester of the third year, a PhD candidate must submit a thesis proposal for approval of an examining committee consisting of the student’s supervisory committee and one further member of the combined graduate department. The proposal must give evidence that the student is acquainted with the literature in the area of the proposed research and must represent a well defined program of investigation. Before the end of the second semester of the third year, the candidate must make a presentation to a colloquium of faculty and graduate students of the combined department on the subject of the proposed research.

Thesis Students in the PhD program are required to write and defend a thesis embodying original philosophical research.

Admission For general admission requirements refer to the Graduate General Regulations section. In addition, the department requires students to submit written statements of their current interests and proposed areas of research. Applications for graduate work will be considered, by and large, with reference to the manner in which the proposed area of the candidate’s research coincides with the teaching and research interests of the faculty. See the list of faculty for general research interests. Should additional course work be deemed necessary, the graduate studies committee will indicate the same as a prerequisite.

Degree Requirements MA Program The degree program may be completed through an essay or project option; a thesis option, or a field exam option. Students are admitted to the essay or project option and require approval of the graduate program chair to transfer to another stream. Except under extenuating circumstances, students may only transfer once during their time in the MA program. Upon enrolment, students are assigned a two member supervisory committee which has the responsibility for determining, in consultation with the student, the projected program of study and for ensuring that the student fulfils all degree requirements. The supervisory committee must approve all courses and program choices.

320 Graduate Arts – Psychology The essay or project option requires the completion of either extended essays in two fields of study offered by the department or one research project. Students in the essay or project option must complete five courses: POL 801 plus four additional courses from at least two of the five fields of study offered by the department. A research project is expected to be a maximum of 12,500 words in length (plus bibliography) and to have substantially original content. Each extended essay is expected to elaborate upon research undertaken in course work and is not to exceed 12,500 words in length (plus bibliography). Extended essays and research projects must be defended in an oral defence. To be considered for admission to the thesis stream, students must submit first to the thesis supervisory committee and then to the appropriate department field committee a thesis proposal outlining a brief summary of the topic, its relevance, the methodology to be followed in the investigation and a chapter by chapter outline of the thesis, a timetable for thesis completion and a select bibliography. The thesis proposal must be approved by the thesis supervisory committee and by the appropriate field committee. Students in the thesis stream must complete four courses: POL 801 plus three additional courses from at least two of the five fields of study offered by the department. Students also must write a thesis, normally 18,750 to 25,000 words in length (plus bibliography) and defend it in an oral defence. To be considered for admission to the field exam stream, students must submit, first to the supervisory committee, and then to the appropriate department field committee, a field exam proposal outlining their major and minor fields of study, a draft reading list in each field, and a timetable for field exam completion. The field exam proposal must be approved by the student’s supervisory committee and by the appropriate department field committee. To fulfil the requirements of the field exam stream, students must complete six courses: POL 801 plus five additional courses from at least two of the five fields of study offered by the department. Students also must pass two written field examinations: one in their major and one in their minor field of study. The supervisory committee shall serve as the nucleus of the field examination committee. In consultation with the student, the supervisory committee will be expanded to include additional examiners if necessary. Any student who fails one of the field examinations, and one only, will be given one opportunity to retake the failed field examination.

PhD Program Prospective candidates are advised that the department offers specialized research resources in the fields of Canadian politics and public policy, Comparative politics, and international relations with a focus within each field on issues of political economy, public policy and governance. However, the department may offer opportunities for advanced study in other fields of political science, subject to the availability of faculty research expertise.

Admission In addition to the minimum admission requirements (Graduate General Regulations 1.3.3), the department also requires a completed MA in political science normally with a minimum 3.67 GPA in graduate courses taken towards the MA degree. A written statement of current research interests indicating two areas of proposed specialization, three letters of reference from qualified referees, and a sample of the candidate’s written work are also required. How well the applicant’s proposed research coincides with the department’s focus on political economy, public policy and governance is an important admission consideration. Deficiencies in a student’s background must be met by taking appropriate courses in addition to normal PhD work.

Applications for admission are reviewed once each year by the department graduate studies committee. The program commences in September.

Supervisory Committee In accordance with Graduate General Regulation 1.6, upon admission into the program, the departmental graduate studies committee shall assign a senior supervisor and two second supervisors to each student. This supervisory committee shall be responsible for monitoring, aiding and evaluating the student’s progress through the PhD program. Each supervisory committee will be structured to reflect the department’s focus on issues of political economy, public policy and governance and to ensure that these constitute an integral part of each student’s program.

Program Requirements The program leading to a political science PhD degree consists of 30 credit hours of graduate work beyond the requirements of the MA plus a second language requirement, two comprehensive exams and a thesis.

Course Work Students enrolled in the PhD program are required to successfully complete 30 credit hours of graduate level course work of which at least 20 credit hours shall be attained from courses offered by the department. All course choices must be approved by the student’s supervisory committee and reflect the student’s areas of specialization within the fields of political economy, public policy and governance as identified in the student’s letter of intent. Students must complete POL 801 or equivalent. All courses must be completed prior to completion of any other component of the program.

Language Requirement Students will be required to demonstrate a reading ability in one language, other than English, that is acceptable to the student’s supervisory committee. Students proposing to study a topic related to Canadian politics must demonstrate an ability to read French. Ability will be determined by successful completion of a time limited examination consisting of a dictionary aided translation of a passage from the political science literature written in the language selected.

Comprehensive Examinations Upon completion of course work and prior to the commencement of thesis research, students must successfully complete a comprehensive examination in two selected fields. By the end of the second semester in the program, that student’s senior supervisor must notify the departmental graduate studies committee of the two fields of study within the discipline of political science which will serve as subjects for comprehensive examinations. Each examination will consist of a three hour written examination and a one hour oral exam held one week after the completion of the written exam. The examinations will be established, conducted and evaluated by a comprehensive examination committee selected by the department graduate studies committee. The comprehensive examination committee shall be composed of one member of the student’s supervisory committee, an additional faculty member from the department, and one from outside the department. The comprehensive examination committee will be chaired by the department graduate studies chair. Students will receive a grade of satisfactory or unsatisfactory from the comprehensive examination committee following completion of the written and oral component of each field. Students who receive a failing grade shall be permitted one retake of that exam following a one semester lapse.

Thesis Candidates successfully completing both comprehensive examinations will be required to

complete POL 890, the department’s PhD seminar, designed to assist students with the preparation of a formal thesis topic and to relate it to issues of political economy, public policy and governance. POL 890 will culminate with the presentation by each student of a seminar to the department outlining his/her research interests. This will be done prior to submission of a formal thesis proposal to the graduate studies committee. Following the departmental seminar and after consultations with the student’s supervisory committee, the student prepares a thesis proposal for approval by the graduate studies committee. The proposal shall state the thesis title, topic, general intent, methodology and selected bibliography. It will be accompanied by a detailed research plan and timetable for the completion of each chapter of the thesis. The thesis proposal should not exceed 25 pages in length, excluding bibliographic references. The thesis should not be more than 300 pages in length and must represent an original contribution to the development of the discipline. The completed thesis must be successfully defended at an oral defence established in accordance with the Graduate General Regulations 1.9 and 1.10.

Performance Evaluation In accordance with Graduate General Regulation 1.8 the progress of each student towards the PhD degree shall be reviewed periodically by the graduate studies committee. At least once each year, the student’s supervisory committee shall submit a written report on the student’s progress to the graduate studies committee to aid its deliberations. Students judged to have maintained unsatisfactory progress by the graduate studies committee may be asked to withdraw from the program.

Time Limits Although Graduate General Regulation 1.12 establishes an eight year time limit for the PhD, it is the expectation of the department that the PhD program may be completed within three to five years of entrance.

SFU/UBC Program in Law and Forensic Psychology The Simon Fraser University/University of British Columbia (SFU/UBC) Program in Law and Forensic Psychology offers students the option of completing either a PhD or a joint LLB/PhD degree. Students in both the PhD and LLB/PhD streams specialize in either experimental psychology and law, or in clinical forensic psychology. The program is operated cooperatively between Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia. All regular requirements of the faculties of graduate studies and the departments of psychology for the MA and PhD must be met by students of the program. See Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 for the SFU Department of Psychology’s program requirements. Students admitted to the LLB/PhD stream complete the requirements for both an LLB in law and a PhD in law and forensic psychology. The PhD degree is awarded by the university in which the student is registered for the PhD, although students are able to take courses from either department. The LLB is awarded by the Faculty of Law at the University of British Columbia, and students must satisfy all the requirements for that degree. Applications, regardless of whether applying to the PhD option or to the LLB/PhD option, are made directly to the director, SFU/UBC Program in Law and Forensic Psychology, Department of Psychology, 8888 University Drive, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, V5A 1S6. Students must submit all supporting documentation in one complete package (completed application form, statement of purpose, one copy of official transcripts of all post secondary course work, three academic letters of reference, and the application fee). GREs (general and subject sections) and LSAT scores can be submitted separately. The application fee for applicants to the PhD option is $75. The fee for applicants to the LLB/PhD option whose transcripts are exclusively from BC post secondary institutions is $110. Applicants, any or all of whose transcripts are from institutions outside of BC, must submit a fee of $130. Students indicate to which psychology department they wish to apply, and with which faculty member they prefer to work. Admissions to the clinical forensic stream must be approved by the respective clinical program (SFU or UBC) to which the student has applied. To be admitted into the LLB/ PhD joint degree program, applicants also must be deemed acceptable by the Faculty of Law at UBC. Continuance in the program is conditional upon a high standard of performance as determined by an annual review of students in the program. A student

The curriculum is comprised of courses offered exclusively within the program. The director may recommend that some students substitute courses from Simon Fraser University or other institutions, and/or experience and demonstrated expertise for courses in the program.

Internship and Project Report

A key component of the MPub program is an internship and project which integrates the knowledge gained during the student’s graduate studies with the demands of an applied setting. This internship is to be performed in the work place, typically in industry, public institutions or government. An appropriate level of documentation and reporting is required. Internships generally last four months. During the internship the student will receive academic supervision as required from the student’s senior supervisor at the university. Day to day supervision will be the responsibility of designated industry supervisors. These professionals will have appropriate qualifications and will be appointed by the University. In very small companies, alternative arrangements may be made for supervision. The internship will focus on a specific project that is initiated by the student, by one or more members of the student’s supervisory committee or by the industry supervisor’s employer. The student submits an outline that defines the project scope, plans for documentation and reporting, anticipated activities, schedule and conclusion. The outline will be approved by the student’s supervisory committee and the program director. Commitment of the company or institution, the industry supervisor and the University will be formalized by a letter exchange. The student must produce two reports; the first, a work report which will be an appraisal of the student’s work experience, and the second, a project report which will be an investigation and analysis of a particular problem or case. The latter will serve as a record and interpretation of the project. The supervisory committee and director will assess the student’s project on the basis of the conduct of the project, quality of work, and quality of reports. There is no oral examination, however, a project report will be submitted in accordance with 1.10.6 of the Graduate General Regulations.

Chair E. Gee BA, PhD (Br Col)

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers programs of advanced learning and research leading to the MA and PhD degrees in sociology and anthropology. For general admission requirements, refer to the Graduate General Regulations section. The department also requires the student to produce a written statement about his/her current interests and prospective research. How well the proposed research of the applicant coincides with the research and teaching interests of faculty in the department is an important consideration for admission. PhD applicants must submit a sample of their work from earlier or ongoing graduate studies. Applications for admission into the program are

normally considered once each year at the end of January; the program commences in September. Contact the department’s graduate program chair or secretary for further program information.

Areas of Study • sociological theory, anthropological theory, and the philosophy of the social sciences (European intellectual history, holistic, comparative and historical perspectives) • Canadian society (ethnic relations, demographic issues, social inequality, political economy) • social and cultural anthropology (with emphasis upon the anthropology of modern life) • development studies (especially the Third World, including studies of tourism) • politics and sociology (with emphasis on political economy, ethnic relations and social movements) • religion and society • minority indigenous peoples (particularly Canadian Native peoples) • social policy issues (gender relations, aging, government administration of native peoples)

Degree Requirements For both the MA and PhD degrees, formal course work and a thesis are required. The minimum requirements are as follows. • four one semester courses • two of these must be SA 850 or SA 870, and SA 857. (In the event that a doctoral student has completed an MA in the department, course requirements remain the same as for other doctoral students, but special arrangements will be made by the department's graduate program committee to ensure that SA 850 or SA 870 is not repeated.) • the remaining two courses will be chosen from: SA 886 ; SA readings courses; a course in another department or university. (The option of the readings courses and the extra-departmental courses must be approved by the student’s supervisory committee and the departmental graduate program committee. Any student with deficiencies may be asked to complete more courses.) • prior to commencing work on the thesis, the student will defend a written prospectus on the thesis in an oral examination. • a thesis (see the departmental handbook for guidelines). • for the PhD only: a written qualifying examination in theory and methodology is required before the oral examination on the thesis prospectus. These requirements, except for the thesis, can reasonably and normally be completed within three or four semesters.

Graduate Seminar (SA 840-2, SA 841-0) All graduate students (MA and PhD) are required to attend and actively participate in the graduate seminar during the first two semesters of their program. In subsequent semesters, attendance and registration is voluntary.

Language Requirement Although the department recognizes that a knowledge of French or foreign languages is desirable for advanced degree studies, it does not have prescribed language requirements. However, where it is evident that a language other than English is necessary for the candidate’s field work or reading, the student will be required to attain the necessary proficiency.

Pitman, Geography The master’s program in women’s studies is an interdisciplinary program and it is possible, therefore, for the master’s student, in co-operation with the women’s studies graduate committee, to create an individualized program of studies to suit the student’s scholarly interests and goals. The program is designed to lead to a strong academic research degree. Students will be

• a sample of scholarly work in the form of a substantial essay which is scholarly in format and approach. The paper submitted may be an undergraduate essay previously prepared, or one specially written for this purpose. • a short statement of interests and goals in women’s studies; normally students will be expected to present a definite proposal for their research. • a short description of previous relevant course work and/or employment. Previous work should include both specialized disciplinary training and broader interdisciplinary work concerned with women. Qualified students will be accepted into the MA program only if a suitable senior supervisor is available and willing to supervise the student. Senior supervisors will be selected only from joint appointees in women’s studies and continuing faculty members of the Department of Women’s Studies. A student with incomplete academic preparation for the MA program may be required to take up to 12 hours of additional work in either women’s studies or another program relevant to her/his program. The graduate committee, which will deal with admissions and all matters pertaining to individual students, will consist of all continuing faculty members.

Degree Requirements The student normally will complete the following requirements. • A minimum of 20 credit hours of graduate seminars, including at least one of WS 800 or 822, maintaining at least a 3.0 CGPA, and • Submit a thesis or two extended essays giving evidence of independent research and critical abilities. An MA thesis is expected to be an in-depth empirical or theoretical study. The normal length of the thesis is 60-120 pages. Extended essays are defined as scholarly papers that meet the same standards of excellence as a thesis; they will be examined in the same way as a thesis, prepared in the same format, bound, and placed in the Library. Normally, the length of each essay is 30-60 pages. The extended essays are expected to demonstrate a breadth of knowledge and competence over several areas of study. The student will be required to take an oral examination on her or his thesis or papers at the end of the MA program. For further information, see the Graduate General Regulations section.

Supervisory Committee Following enrolment by the student in the program, a supervisory committee will be formed, which shall have the responsibility for determining, in

consultation with the student, the projected program of study, selecting appropriate research topics, and ensuring that the candidate fulfills all degree requirements. The senior supervisor will be selected from joint appointees in women’s studies and continuing faculty members on the co-ordinating committee . Other faculty outside the department who are considered necessary by the student and her/his supervisors may also be added to the committee.
