BA and BA Honours in Development Studies Co-operative Education Programs

Introduction

The Co-operative Education programs are five-year programs which include 16 months of supervised work experience in various private and government agencies.

Students who wish to enter the Development Studies Co-operative Education Program are urged to discuss their pre-admission course selection with the Faculty of Communication and Culture as early in their programs as possible.

Admission

Application dates are: December 1, May 1, and September 1.

Students must have declared a Development Studies major and must have successfully completed at least eight full-course equivalents. A minimum grade point average of 3.00 is required for admission to the BA Co-operative Education program, or 3.30 for admission to the BA Honours Co-operative Education program. (Co-operative Education students who are considering Honours should consult with the Career Services office as soon as they are accepted into the Co-operative Education program to ensure that they are placed in a course sequence that will accommodate the Honours thesis in their last year.) The grade point average for admission purposes is calculated over the most recent five full-course equivalents. Students must have completed General Studies 300 with a minimum grade of "C" and Development Studies 201 with a minimum grade of "B-" before commencing the first co-operative education placement.

Students should refer to the Co-operative Education section of this Calendar for specific regulations pertaining to Co-operative Education programs.

Requirements

Students must complete the following four courses in addition to the regular requirements for the BA or BA Honours in Development Studies degree program:

Co-operative Education 527.01, 527.02, 527.03 and 527.04.

In addition to the Faculty of Communication and Culture regulations governing Honours and Majors programs and the regulations governing Co-operative Education programs, the following regulations apply. A minimum grade point average of 2.00 and 3.30 must be maintained in the BA and BA Honours programs respectively. In the Co-operative Education program students must take study and work sessions consecutively and be registered full time. The Co-operative Education courses are in addition to the normal requirements for the BA or BA Honours degree program in Development Studies. Students must complete the same required courses and number of courses as required for a student completing the traditional BA or BA Honours degree program. Upon completion of each work term, the student must present a work term report to the Development Studies Co-operative Education representative.

Regulations

Students who receive a grade of "F" in a Co-operative Education course will be required to withdraw from the Co-operative Education Program.

The first four-month work term (Co-operative Education 527.01) is normally taken in the summer between Years 2 and 3. The remaining four-month work terms are taken during the last three years of the program. (Note that additional faculty requirements are not included.)

Law and Society LWSO

(Return to Top)

Introduction

The program in Law and Society is designed to provide a broad exposure to the nature of law and its role in society. The overall aim of the program is not only to provide students with as deep an understanding of the law as possible but also to demonstrate that the law is not an isolated discipline but, rather, is part of an integrated culture of which we all partake. The program is not specifically a "pre-law" program. Nevertheless, the perspectives that it offers are likely to be of great benefit to intending lawyers, as well as to those considering a career in politics, the civil service, law enforcement, the social sciences, business and industry, or public-interest advocacy.

(Return to Top)

The Leisure, Tourism and Society Major program has been suspended indefinitely. No new admissions will be permitted.

Introduction

The Leisure, Tourism and Society program is intended to integrate theories and research methodologies with their practical applications to the fields of leisure studies and practice, recreation and tourism. Perspectives from a number of disciplines are brought to bear on questions in these areas. Students may focus on all sub-fields or select their own concentration within the program. In addition to the specific disciplinary courses available in the program, there are several interdisciplinary courses that are team-taught by instructors who come from various disciplines. These provide the main emphasis of the program, which is an inter-disciplinary and integrative understanding of the fields of leisure, recreation and tourism. Students interested ultimately in seeking employment in travel and tourism, sport, leisure studies, the hospitality industry, parks and related fields, either in governmental or private contexts, will find this program useful.

Science, Technology and Society STAS

(Return to Top)

Introduction

The Science, Technology and Society program is designed to provide the student with an integrated understanding of the ways in which science and technology interact with the culture of any society, both as part of that culture and also as a force for change. This program will be useful for students seeking careers in policy analysis and strategic planning in the private and government sectors (eg. economic development, health, energy, natural resources, post-secondary education), and provides a foundation for further professional or graduate degrees.

Science, Technology and Society also provides an excellent opportunity for construction of a defined interdisciplinary component that may be of special interest to students in other programs such as science, engineering, business and several social science disciplines. The Director is available to discuss specific student interests. A common cluster might include history of science, Science, Technology and Society 325 or 327 and (for students with strong science, engineering or business backgrounds) Science, Technology and Society 591.

Minor Programs

(Return to Top)

Introduction

Twelve Interdisciplinary Minor programs are available. These are in African Studies; Architectural Studies; Canadian Studies; Central and East European Studies; Communications Studies; Development Studies; East Asian Studies; Latin American Studies; Law and Society; Museum and Heritage Studies; Science, Technology and Society; and Women's Studies. In addition, the Faculty offers a Minor program in Film Studies in collaboration with the Faculties of Fine Arts and Humanities. Each of these programs has the status of a Minor Field of study for students registered in a degree program in the Faculty of Communication and Culture or in a Faculty such as Humanities, Science or Social Sciences in either a Major or Honours program.

All of the Interdisciplinary Minor programs are intended to complement the degree programs of the Faculty of Communication and Culture. Each Minor also may usefully be combined with a number of disciplinary Major programs.

In addition, some Minor programs are intended to be of special value for students with particular career aspirations. For example, Canadian Studies provides a good background for students interested in the civil service, education or law; Law and Society a background for students interested in law, government work or social work.

Students who are unable to fit in all of the courses required to complete a given Minor program may nevertheless wish to use the Minor as a guide to choosing courses that will complement the Major. For example, students in Science or Engineering may wish to take many of the courses in the Science, Technology and Society Minor. These programs offer students an opportunity to do concentrated work in an area which crosses the boundaries of traditional disciplines. Each program incorporates a required or recommended Interdisciplinary course, along with a selection of courses from the relevant specialized disciplines from which a student may, with the help of a faculty advisor, plan his or her Minor program.

Regulations

Regulations Common To All Minor Programs

1. Successful completion of five full-course equivalents as designated for the individual Minor program.

2. No course taken to fulfill Major Field requirements may also be used in fulfillment of Minor Field requirements, unless the course is required for both.

If there is an overlap, an appropriate course from the Options list may be substituted with the approval of the Associate Dean (Student Affairs).

3. Some of the courses listed in the Minor programs have prerequisites. Students should note that it is their responsibility to ensure that they have completed the prerequisites for any courses that they wish to take in the Minor program. Prerequisites do not count toward fulfillment of requirements for the Minor. Since courses are not always available every year, students should plan their programs on more than a single year basis.

4. Students interested in taking any of the Minor programs listed below should contact the Associate or Assistant Dean (Student Affairs) for additional information.

Architectural Studies

Introduction

Admission to the Minor is competitive and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Completion of the Architectural Studies Minor Field does not guarantee admission to the Master of Architecture or other degree programs in the Faculty of Environmental Design.

Contact Information

For further information contact the Academic Programs Office, (403) 220-6343.

Admission

Successful completion of a minimum of four or more full-course equivalents.

Admission to the Minor Field will be granted in the Fall Session only. A minimum grade point average of 3.00 is required for consideration for admission. The grade point average for admission purposes will be calculated over the most recent course work to a maximum of five full-course equivalents (University of Calgary courses and/or transferable courses taken at other institutions). All grades within a session will be included except where the number of courses taken within a session exceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximum of) five full-course equivalents, in which case the highest grades will be used. Spring and Summer Sessions courses taken after May 1 will not count towards determining admissibility.

Note: Students whose registration has been inactive for one year after admission to the Minor will be required to reapply for admission and compete for the available places with other applicants.

Program Requirements

The following courses are recommended to be taken prior to entry to the Architectural Studies courses:

One of:

The following are optional elective courses in Environmental Design, available to students in the Minor: the Somerville Design Charrette Block Course, the Los Angeles Field Trip Block Course, or other approved elective.

Note: The Faculty prefers that students take the nine courses labelled Architectural Studies in the final year of undergraduate studies. If necessary, students may spread the courses over a two-year period. In this case, Architectural Studies 443, 451 and 455 must be taken in the Fall Session of the final year and Architectural Studies 444, 453 and 461 must be taken in the Winter Session of the final year of undergraduate studies. The remaining three half courses for the minor must be spread out over the final two years. Students unable to follow this pattern will be required to reapply for admission to the Minor Field.
