C) EVALUATION AND ADVANCEMENT

1. In order to continue in good standing in the program and in order to qualify for the Master's degree, a candidate shall obtain a grade of A or B for program courses, and complete two Work Terms.

2. The dates for starting and finishing each Work Term are shown in the University Diary. Successful completion of the Work Term requirements is a prerequisite to graduation.

3. A competition for Work Term employment is organized by the Co-operative Education Services Centre (CESC). Students may also obtain their own Work Term jobs outside the competition. Such jobs must be confirmed by letter from the employer and approved by the Head of Psychology and by the CESC on or before the first day of the Work Term.

Work Term jobs may be outside St. John’s and possibly outside Newfoundland and Labrador. Students who do not wish to accept a Work Term job arranged by CESC shall be responsible for finding an alternative acceptable to the Head of Psychology and the CESC.

By entering the competition, students give permission for the CESC to supply their University transcripts to potential employers.

4. The overall evaluation of the Work Term is the responsibility of the CESC. The Work Term evaluation shall consist of two components:

a) On-the-job Student Performance:
Job performance shall be assessed by a co-ordinator using information gathered during the Work Term and input from the employer towards the end of the Work Term. Formal written documentation from the employer shall be sought.

b) The Work Report:
i. Work term reports shall be evaluated by a member of the CESC or a member of faculty in the Department of Psychology. If an employer designates a report to be of a confidential nature, both employer and co-ordinator must agree as to the methods to protect the confidentiality of such a report before the report may be accepted for evaluation.
ii. Reports must be prepared according to American Psychological Association specifications and contain original work related to the Work Term placement. The topic must relate to the work experience and will be chosen by the student in consultation with the employer. For promotion from the Work Term, a student must obtain at least 65% in each component.

5. If a student fails to achieve the Work Term standards specified above the student will be required to withdraw from the program. Such a student may reapply to the program after lapse of two semesters, at which time the student will be required to complete a further Work Term with satisfactory performance before being admitted to any further academic term in the Faculty. A Work Term may be repeated once.

6. Students are not permitted to drop Work Terms without prior approval of the Graduate Studies Committee of the Department of Psychology, upon the recommendation of the CESC. The Graduate Studies Committee will make a recommendation to the Head of Department who will make the final decision. Students who drop a Work Term without permission, or who fail to honour an agreement to work with an employer, or who conduct themselves in such a manner as to cause their discharge from the job, will normally be awarded a failed grade for the Work Term. Permission to drop a Work Term does not constitute a waiver of degree requirements, and students who have obtained such permission must complete an approved Work Term in lieu of the one dropped.

ETHNOMUSICOLOGY

Professor and Director of the School of Music
Tom Gordon

Professor and Program Coordinator
Beverley Diamond

The Master of Arts program in Ethnomusicology is administered by the School of Music in consultation with the Department of Folklore, and generally in response to recommendations from an Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee with representation from both academic units, chaired by the Program Coordinator.

The degree of Master of Arts in Ethnomusicology is offered by part-time and full-time study. While it is normally a course work degree, a thesis option is available upon application. Fieldwork is often a requirement both for independent research and course work. The resources of the Memorial University Folklore and Language Archive are available to graduate students in Ethnomusicology.

A) Qualifications for Admission

Applicants may be admitted to the program if they have at least a B+ average with a B.Mus. degree or other degree in the Humanities or Social Sciences with evidence of specialization in music. Applicants whose professional music training took place outside the university system are also encouraged to apply, provided they have the academic equivalent of the qualifications described above. Applicants from a discipline other than Music will be expected to demonstrate the following skills:

•    Competent performance in any musical tradition, as judged by a musician knowledgeable about that tradition.
•    Knowledge of culturally appropriate language for discussion of performance techniques in that tradition.
•    Ability to discuss musical details on the basis of aural and/or written sources, as appropriate to that tradition.

Candidates for admission may, at the discretion of the Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee, be required to write diagnostic examinations measuring skills and knowledge in music literacy, theory, or aural perception. Candidates with deficiencies in any of these areas may be required to take remedial course work prior or in addition to the required program.

B) Program Requirements

The M.A. program will normally be completed within five consecutive semesters of full-time study. The degree is normally taken by completing course work and a major research paper. In special circumstances, a student may apply to complete the degree by completing course work and a thesis. Demonstration of competence in a language other than English may be required if warranted by the research proposed by the student.

a) Course work M.A.

1. Students must normally complete a minimum of 24 credit hours plus a major research paper (Music 7002). Further courses beyond the minimum number may be required, depending on the background of the student. The required courses are:

i. Music 7001; Folklore 6010, 6030.
ii. One of Folklore 6100 or Music 6002.
iii. One area or genre studies course (3 credit hours) relevant to the research of the student.
iv. Nine credit hours to be selected from the Music and Folklore courses listed below (with the approval of the Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee); one elective (3 credit hours) may be a relevant course offered in another discipline (with the approval of the Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee).

2. Research paper (Music 7002) on a topic chosen by the student with his/her supervisor’s approval. Proposals for topics and supervisors will be vetted by the Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee no later than the beginning of the third term of study. The paper will normally demonstrate the student’s ability to apply methodologies and theoretical constructs, learned in the courses taken, to a specific repertory, or performance context.

b) Thesis M.A. (available by special application to the Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee)

1. Students must normally complete a minimum of 21 credit hours plus a thesis. The required courses are:

i. Music 7001; Folklore 6010, 6030.
ii. One of Folklore 6100 or Music 6002.
iii. One area or genre studies course (3 credit hours) relevant to the research of the student.
iv. Six credit hours to be selected from the Music and Folklore courses listed below (with the approval of the Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee); one elective (3 credit hours) may be a relevant course offered in another discipline (with the approval of the Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee).

2. Thesis submitted in accordance with General Regulation J of the School of Graduate Studies. A thesis proposal, consisting of a statement of topic, working title, plan of research, and preliminary bibliography, with the name of the preferred supervisor, shall be submitted by the candidate to the Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee no later than the beginning of the third term of study.

The Memorial University of Newfoundland Folklore and Language Archive was a joint creation of the Departments of Folklore and English Language and Literature. It was set up to co-ordinate diverse research in Newfoundland studies undertaken in both Departments, to facilitate the mutual use of common material, to organize it for research and publication, and to make a permanent documented record for future generations. The Folklore and Language Archive is an integral part of the teaching and research activities of the Department of Folklore on both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

The Archive comprises extensive collections of Newfoundland and Labrador folksongs and music, folk narratives of many kinds, oral history, folk customs, beliefs and practices, childlore and descriptions of material culture. It has special collections of the Newfoundland vocabulary, proverbs and riddles and collections towards a linguistic atlas. The materials have been collected by a variety of means: by questionnaires, by student contributions in manuscript, by extensive field work utilizing tape recorders, and by searching printed sources.

The Archive is housed in the G.A. Hickman Building. Associated with it is a recording room, with facilities for copying tapes and records and for the making of recordings. The specially excerpted collection in language is housed in the English Language Research Centre of the Department of English Language and Literature . Newfoundland French language and folklore materials are housed in the Centre d'Etudes Franco-Terreneuviennes in the Department of Folklore. Each Department has a working library associated with the archival material.

Preference will be given to those who present a high GMAT score, have a minimum of 10 years of full-time managerial and executive experience, and have completed several years of university studies. The Faculty may also take into account relevant professional credentials. Applicants, who do not meet normal admission requirements, may be required to complete, with a high level of achievement, certain undergraduate courses before being considered for admission.

3. When circumstances warrant, and only on the strong recommendation of the Faculty of Business Administration, consideration may be given to candidates who do not meet some of the above requirements.

4. Applicants who did not complete a four-year baccalaureate degree at a recognized university where English is the primary language of instruction must normally achieve a paper-based score of 580 (or higher)/computer-based score of 237 (or higher) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Those submitting results of the Test of Written English (TWE) as well, with a score of 4 or better, will receive preference in the evaluation of English proficiency. Information regarding both tests is available from the Educational Testing Service.

B) DEADLINES FOR APPLICATIONS

Applications and all supporting documents must be received not later than March 15 from Canadian applicants wishing to enter full-time or part-time studies in the Fall semester. Part-time applicants planning to enter in the Winter (January) or Spring (May) semester must apply prior to October 15 and January 15 respectively. Individuals submitting applications later than the above dates are not assured of consideration for admission to the program in the semester desired; their applications will be processed only if time and resources permit. Full-time and international applicants are normally considered for entry in the Fall semester. International applicants must submit complete documentation by February 1.

C) PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION

1. Applications for admission to the MBA program must be made on the appropriate form to the School of Graduate Studies.

2. The following documents must be submitted in support of the official application form:
a) Letters of appraisal from three referees, at least one of whom has had close professional contact with the applicant within the last two years, and at least one of whom is capable of appraising the applicant's academic potential as a graduate student.
b) Two copies of the Faculty's Employment Experience Information Form.
c) Two official transcripts from each university or other post-secondary institution previously attended, to be sent directly by its Registrar (or equivalent officer) to the School of Graduate Studies.

d) The official GMAT score report, to be sent directly by the Educational Testing Service. The code number for Memorial University of Newfoundland is 0885.
e) Where applicable, an official TOEFL score report, to be forwarded directly by the Educational Testing Service. As indicated above, overseas applicants have a stronger case if they also submit official results of the Test of Written English (TWE).

NOTE: Application files are evaluated only when all required items have been received.

3. Admission shall be by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the Faculty of Business Administration. Upon notification from the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies of acceptance into the MBA program, applicants must give written notice to the School of Graduate Studies of their intention to register. Such notice must be received by the Office of the Dean within 30 days of notification of acceptance, or three weeks prior to semester registration.

D) DIRECT ENTRY AND ADVANCED STANDING

1. Students who have an undergraduate honours (or equivalent, e.g., first class from another university recognized by Senate) degree in business may apply for direct entry into the second year of the MBA Program. Their course load will be 8107 - Managing in the Canadian Environment, 8208 - Strategic Management, 8209 - Management Skills plus seven electives from the list of second year courses listed in Table III and paragraph E3. Direct entry will only be considered if the honours degree was awarded within seven years of the year for which admission is being sought. The Committee on Graduate Studies reserves the right to require additional first year courses where there are noted deficiencies in a student’s undergraduate record.

2. The Faculty’s Committee on Graduate Studies may recommend advanced standing for students who do not qualify for direct entry at the time of admission to the MBA program. After admission and normally not later than one week after registration, all other students, including those who have an undergraduate degree in business, may apply for advanced standing for 8000 level courses in the MBA program. Advanced standing for any 8000 level MBA course would normally require that the student had achieved a “B+” or better in a letter grade system or the equivalent to a grade of 75% or better at Memorial University of Newfoundland in undergraduate courses required for advanced standing. Courses will only be considered for advanced standing if they are part of a degree that has been awarded within seven years of the year for which admission is being sought. Advanced standing will not be granted for 8107 - Managing in the Canadian Environment, 8208 - Strategic Management, 8209 - Management Skills, and 8203 - Management Science.

3. The following information must be submitted to the Associate Dean, Faculty of Business Administration, for evaluation by the Committee:
a) a detailed course outline for each course to be considered in the application for advanced standing;
b) a description of the method of evaluation used in each such course, the grades received, and the completion dates.

4. Students who enter the MBA program with previous graduate degrees may be granted transfer credit for two non-business, non-specified elective courses by the Faculty’s Committee on Graduate Studies. The remaining electives will be chosen from courses offered by the Faculty of Business Administration. This will reduce their program from 20 courses to 18 courses. (This does not apply to students with degrees such as the LLB and Medical Doctor degrees that are not master’s degrees.) Courses will only be considered for advanced standing if they are part of a degree that has been awarded within seven years of the year for which admission is being sought.

A) QUALIFICATIONS FOR ADMISSION

1. Admission is limited and competitive. To be considered for admission to the EMBA program, an applicant shall normally hold at least a bachelor’s degree, with a minimum ʽBʼ standing, from an institution recognized by Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Senate.

2. Applicants must achieve a satisfactory total score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), as well as an appropriate balance of verbal and quantitative GMAT score components. Specific information regarding the test can be obtained by writing to: Educational Testing Service/GMAT, P.O. Box 6103, Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A., 08541-6103 or by contacting the Web site at www.gmat.org.

3. Applicants with substantial management experience will receive preference during evaluation of applications. Normally, applicants will have a minimum of eight years of relevant management experience.

4. Applicants who did not complete a four-year bachelor’s degree at a recognized university where English is the primary language of instruction must submit an acceptable score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or achieve a satisfactory score on the CanTEST. Information regarding the TOEFL is available from the Educational Testing Service (see address in A.2). Information on CanTEST is available from CanTEST Project Office, Second Language Institute, University of Ottawa, Canada K1N 6N5.

5. All applicants will be interviewed prior to acceptance to the EMBA program by at least two members of the Faculty’s Committee on Graduate Studies to assess the applicant’s personal qualities, such as leadership potential and motivation, which are important to successful managers.

6. While all of the criteria above are important, the Faculty’s Committee on Graduate Studies will assess the applicant’s entire profile. Significant strengths in one area may help compensate for weaknesses in another area.

7. In selecting candidates for any particular cohort, the Faculty’s Committee on Graduate Studies will attempt to ensure that there is a breadth of managerial experience and practical backgrounds within the cohort as this is important to the students’ learning environment. Student experience is expected to contribute to and enhance the learning experience for the entire cohort.

B) DEADLINES FOR APPLICATION SUBMISSIONS

1. Applications and all supporting documents must be received by June 15 from Canadian applicants. Application from foreign cohorts should be complete at least four months before the proposed commencement date. Individuals submitting applications later than the above dates are not assured of consideration for admission to the cohort desired; their applications will be processed only if time and resources permit.

2. The Faculty of Business Administration reserves the right not to offer an EMBA program during any period where there is deemed to be insufficient demand. Further, the faculty reserves the right to restrict the size of any cohort of students admitted to the EMBA program.

C) PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION

1. Applications for admission to the EMBA program must be made on the appropriate form to the School of Graduate Studies.

2. The following documents must be submitted in support of the official application form:
a) Letter of appraisal from two work-related referees.
b) Two copies of the faculty’s Employment Experience Information form.
c) Two official transcripts from each university or other post-secondary institution previously attended, to be sent directly by its registrar (or equivalent officer) to the School of Graduate Studies. If not recorded on the transcript, official evidence of completion of Undergraduate degree must also be submitted.
d) The official GMAT score report, to be sent directly by the Educational Testing Service. The code number for Memorial University of Newfoundland is 0885.
e) Where applicable, an official TOEFL or CanTEST score report, to be forwarded directly by the examining organization.

NOTE: Application files are evaluated only when all required items have been received.

3. Admission shall be by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the Faculty of Business Administration. Upon notification of acceptance into the EMBA program, applicants must give written notice to the School of Graduate Studies of their intention to register. Such notice must be received by the Office of the Dean within 30 days of notification of acceptance, or three weeks prior to semester registration.

D) PROGRAMS OF STUDY

1. The EMBA program is cohort-driven and structured so that students within any cohort complete a program of 20 courses. Normally, the program will be delivered over four academic terms, and the contact time per course will be 26 hours, recognizing the experience of the candidates, and the extended time between classes which will allow the assignment of more course-related work to be completed outside of the classroom environment. In some instances, the program may be offered over a shorter duration. When this happens, the contact time per course will increase as the expectation for students to complete course-related work between classes will be lower. The 20-course program structure is outlined in Table 1.

3. Counselling Psychology

The mission of the program in Counselling Psychology is to prepare highly knowledgeable, skilled, dedicated, and ethical professional practitioners, who will endeavour to enhance human potential throughout the life span and who can effectively practice within a variety of settings.

The Counselling Psychology faculty promotes counselling as an effective, viable means of assisting individuals throughout the life span. The counselling psychologist, regardless of his or her theoretical stance or work setting, functions as a change agent who is sensitive to and knowledgeable about the range of human development reflected in individual differences and cultural and linguistic diversity. Effective and positive change is brought about by assisting clients to: examine and modify their behaviour for more effective living; cope with, adjust to, or otherwise negotiate the environments affecting their psychosocial well-being; and effect change in the larger society.

The practice of Counselling Psychology is based on theory and research, an understanding of ethical practices, and a set of professional and interpersonal skills. It is essential that graduate students study a variety of conceptual frameworks and research findings as preparation for collaborative work with other helping professionals, paraprofessionals, and a variety of self-help groups.

The Counselling Psychology faculty, while representing a range of views, agree that the uniqueness of the individual and his or her personal strengths must be acknowledged and respected. To fully explore professional issues and personal values, a trusting and open atmosphere must be present.

Individuals from a wide variety of personal, social, and educational backgrounds are encouraged to apply to the Counselling Psychology program. The program provides a broad-based sequence of studies and supervised experiences that will prepare graduate students to be knowledgeable and skilled practitioners who can function in a variety of settings. By the time they have completed this program, students will have acquired knowledge and competencies in the following general areas:
- individual and group counselling theory and techniques
- legal and ethical aspects of counselling
- human development and learning
- social, cultural, and linguistic diversity
- career education and counselling
- program development and implementation
- measurement and appraisal
- research and program evaluation
- application of current technology
- service delivery in rural areas

4. Candidates are responsible for fulfilling all pre-requisites and may require special permission from the Department offering an elective to enrol in the course.

5. The Research Seminar in Employment Relations provides students with both quantitative and qualitative research skills and requires the identification of a research problem, the development and execution of a methodology appropriate to addressing the problem, analysis of results, and completion of final report. The Research Seminar involves 3 credit hours of course work in each of the Fall, Winter and Spring semesters.

6. Candidates enrolled in Research Seminar in Employment Relations will normally have completed an introductory course in statistics. If candidates’ records suggest a deficiency in statistics, the GCER reserves the right to require that they complete a foundation course in statistics as part of, and to be completed during, their program.

7. The prerequisites for EMRE 6030 are EMRE 6010 and EMRE 6020. In addition, students will normally complete six MER courses before registering for EMRE 6030. There are no prerequisites for EMRE 6010 and EMRE 6020 but students are advised to take these courses late in their programs, just before taking EMRE 6030. For the core courses, the prerequisite for BUSI 9329 is BUSI 8210. For the remaining core courses, there are no prerequisites. For the elective courses, departmental regulations that specify particular courses as prerequisites will apply but the departmental requirement to have completed a number of courses will not apply.
8. A waiver of a core course may be granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the GCER if the candidate can demonstrate that the material in the course has been substantially covered by other courses taken at this or another recognized university. In such cases, the course must be replaced by another course offered by Memorial University of Newfoundland in consultation with the candidate, and approved by the GCER. The maximum number of core courses that can be waived is 3 and all replacement courses must be taken during the candidate’s period of enrollment in the program.

9. Each student’s program of study must be approved by the GCER. The GCER reserves the right to restrict candidates from taking particular courses if it is deemed that those courses do not add sufficient value beyond courses that the candidate has completed at the undergraduate level.

F) EVALUATION

1. Candidates for the MER Degree must obtain a grade of B or better in all program courses.

2. Candidates who receive a grade of less than B in a program course will be permitted to remain in the program, provided the course is repeated and passed with a grade of B or better.

E. FAST-TRACK OPTION

Students registered in academic term 7 of a Memorial undergraduate engineering program are eligible to apply for admission to an M.Eng. fast-track option. The purpose of the option is to encourage students interested in pursuing graduate studies to begin their research-related activities while still registered as an undergraduate student. Normally, to be considered for admission to the option, students must have achieved at least a 70% average over academic terms 1 to 6 of their undergraduate engineering program. While enrolled in the option, a student may complete some of the M.Eng. degree requirements and, hence, potentially be able to graduate earlier from the M.Eng. program.

Students shall enroll in the M.Eng. fast-track option concurrently with their undergraduate program during the fall semester prior to academic term 8. Prior to entering the fast-track option, students must apply for and receive an exemption from work term 6. While enrolled in the option a student must be registered in full-time graduate studies during the fall semester prior to academic term 8; during academic term 8, the student must take a leave of absence from the graduate program. A student enrolled in the fast-track option shall undertake research related to their field of study and shall normally complete at least 3 credit hours from the courses listed for their M.Eng. program in the fall semester prior to academic term 8.

In the Fall semester following academic term 7, fast-track option students will pay only the graduate fees appropriate to graduate students following plan A of Fees and Charges B.3 (i.e., the 6 semester plan). In the succeeding winter semester, while completing academic term 8 of their undergraduate program, fast-track option students will pay only the appropriate undergraduate fees.

Upon completion of their undergraduate program, students may register in the M.Eng. program on a full-time basis. All courses taken as part of their graduate program while enrolled in the M.Eng. fast-track option are credited towards the M.Eng. degree course credit hour requirements. Courses taken as credit towards a student’s undergraduate degree may not be credited towards a student’s graduate degree; courses credited towards a student’s graduate degree may not be credited towards a student’s undergraduate degree. Students who do not complete their undergraduate degree within one year of entering the fast-track option will normally be required to withdraw from their M.Eng. program.

F. COURSE EVALUATION

1. In order to continue in the program, a student shall obtain an A or B grade in each course taken for credit.

2. The student's achievement in the program must be to the satisfaction of the Dean of Graduate Studies and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. When it has been determined on the basis of consultations with the student, the course instructors and the supervisor, that a student's work has fallen below satisfactory level, he/she may be required to withdraw from the program.

G. THESIS

1. A student who expects to graduate must inform the Dean of Graduate Studies of this intention at least three months before the University Convocation at which the award of the degree is expected.

2. Before the thesis is submitted, the student shall present an open seminar on the topic of investigation to the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Any serious deficiencies noticed at this stage should be carefully considered, in consultation with the supervisor, for rectification.

The program should display a range of performance styles and repertoire. Prospective candidates should contact the School of Music for details on appropriate repertoire. Applicants to the M.Mus. in Conducting program should submit professional quality video tapes of their work with a minimum of two different types of ensembles. These video tapes should include both rehearsals and performances. Performance tapes should display a range of styles and repertoire.

b) Candidates for admission will be required to write diagnostic examinations measuring their skills and knowledge in the standard areas of musical literacy. These include music theory and analysis, aural skills, and music history and literature which includes repertoire knowledge in the performance area. Candidates who display deficiencies in any of these areas may still be considered for admission. Once admitted, however, they will be required to take remedial course work in addition to the required program requirements.

B. PROGRAM OF STUDY

1. All candidates for the degree of Master of Music will be required to register for courses which combine course work, performance or work-study internships and which can normally be completed over two years by full-time study. Recital requirements as specified within each specific program option are considered as thesis equivalents. Comprehensive examinations are not administered. The normal residency period in Conducting may, in some instances, be reduced through summer and intersession study or through a reduction of the credit requirements based on prior professional experience. Candidates for the degree are required to complete the core courses in the first year of the program. Principal and secondary applied course credits make up the largest concentration of program requirements and are intended to be taken over two years. Courses in secondary concentrations and electives make up the balance of the program.

It is intended to integrate the decision-making process in a specific petroleum prospect from play concept, to discovery, to production and finally to product and market. A case study shall be chosen by the instructors of the four compulsory, core courses.

5. The seminar course requires students to research a specific topic in an area of interest and present the results of their research both as an oral and written presentation. Participation in the seminar course is compulsory for all students.

6. The project course will span two semesters. Normally the project course will be conducted as a group exercise to enhance the interdisciplinary nature of the project. At the beginning of the second semester, each team identifies the topic of the project, conducts the relevant literature survey, writes a proposal, and identifies a mentor or mentors. In the third semester, the team completes the project, and writes the final report. An oral presentation of the final paper is generally required. The mentor(s) provides the team with technical support and guidance.

7. A waiver of a core course may be granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the Academic Director if the candidate can demonstrate that the material in the course has been substantially covered by other courses taken at this or another recognized university. In such cases, the course must be replaced by another graduate course offered by Memorial University of Newfoundland. The selection of the replacement course shall be made in consultation with the candidate, and approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies on recommendation of the Academic Director. The maximum number of core courses that can be waived is one and the replacement course must be taken during the candidate's period of enrollment in the program.

HUMANITIES

Director, Board of Studies

The Master of Philosophy in Humanities has been designed for students from any discipline. It is directed to students who hold an honours bachelor's degree or its equivalent. The object of the M.Phil. in Humanities program is to provide students with an opportunity to see the historical and logical context of their own disciplinary points of view. The program is based on the interaction of a group of students of varying backgrounds and interests studying a common core of texts in a shared set of courses.

The program draws scholarly participation from faculty members in a range of academic disciplines within the School of Graduate Studies. The program is administered by a Board of Studies with membership appointed by the Dean of Arts, from among the participating faculty.
