Introduction

The Communications Studies Co-operative Education program is a four and one-half to five-year program which includes 12-16 months of supervised work experience in various private and government agencies.

Students who wish to enter the Communications 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 program as possible.

Admission

Application dates are: December 1 and May 1.

Students must have been admitted to a Communications Studies major or the Bachelor of Communications Studies. A minimum grade point average of 3.00 is required for admission to the BA and BCS Co-operative Education program, or 3.30 for admission to the BA Honours Co-operative Education program. Grade point average will be calculated on the most recent five full-course equivalents. (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. BCS students are cautioned that extremely careful program planning will be required in order to accommodate the required work terms.) The grade point average for admission purposes is calculated over the most recent five full-course equivalents.

Before commencing the first Co-operative Education placement, students must have completed

1. General Studies 300 with a minimum grade of "C,"
2. one of Communications Studies 361, 363, or 365, with a minimum grade of "B-,"

Co-operative Education 525.01, 525.02, 525.03. A fourth work term, 525.04, is a highly recommended option.

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.

The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà portion of the degree (twelve full-course equivalents) may be taken either before or after the SAIT portion of the degree (eight full-course equivalents).

Introduction

The Bachelor of Film Studies degree is offered in partnership with SAIT Polytechnic. It is intended for students who want the flexibility and broad interdisciplinary base of knowledge provided by a University degree combined with the practical skills in film and video or new media production provided by a professional diploma program. The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà portion of the degree (twelve full-course equivalents) may be taken either before or after the SAIT portion of the degree (eight full-course equivalents).

Note: Students must apply separately to SAIT Polytechnic and meet all its admission requirements and application deadlines.

Contact Information

For further information visit the Faculty of Communication and Culture website, , or contact the Communication and Culture Faculty Office, (403) 220-6343.

Admission

See Admissions information under Faculty Regulations.

Students requesting admission to this program apply to the same quota pool as those applying to the Bachelor of Arts degree in Film Studies. When a student is presenting a SAIT or equivalent diploma for block transfer credit to the Bachelor of Film Studies degree, the grade point average for admission to the Film Studies quota program will be calculated over the entire diploma.

Program Requirements

The Faculty requires that students complete an approved program equivalent to 20 full courses with a minimum grade point average of 2.00. The program must include the following components:

1. Twelve full-course equivalents, as outlined below, of Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà or university transfer courses with a minimum grade point average of 2.00. The grade in General Studies 300 must be at least "C-". Not more than 10 full course equivalents of the entire program may be transferred from other institutions. Therefore, no more than two full-course equivalents, in addition to the block transfer for the diploma, of transfer credit may be used toward this requirement No more than three full-course equivalent "D" or "D+" grades will be counted in the twelve courses. A maximum of one full-course equivalent "D" or "D+" grade may be in General Studies 500 or courses designated FILM. At least seven full-course equivalents must be at the senior level.

2. Completion of the SAIT Film and Video Production diploma program, or approved equivalent, with a grade point average of 2.00 on all courses. No more than one and one-half full-course equivalents may have a grade of "D" or "D+."

3. All prerequisites must be met with a "C-" or better.

Note: Students must apply separately to SAIT and meet all its admission requirements and application deadlines. Students who are unsuccessful in applying to SAIT may transfer to the four-year Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies at the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ, or to any other Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà program for which they qualify. Courses already completed toward the Bachelor of Film Studies (BFS) may be applied toward the Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies.

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.

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.

Introduction
August 27, 2008

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 and students interested in pursuing a Master of Architecture at the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà should note that only those students that have completed a four year degree will be considered for admission.

Contact Information

For further information visit the Faculty of Communication and Culture website, , or contact the Communication and Culture Faculty Office, (403) 220-6343.

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 (Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà 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 two years after admission to the Minor will be required to reapply for admission and compete for the available places with other applicants.
