Simon Fraser University

Senate Graduate Studies Committee

Annual Report to

Senate for 2009

February 2010

Submitted by Dr. Wade Parkhouse, Dean of Graduate Studies

Composition and Mandate

of the Committee

of the creation of the new faculties, the membership of SGSC consisted of the Dean of

Graduate Studies (chair), Librarian (or designate), the Director Graduate Records,

Admissions and Registration (non-voting), chairs

of the eight faculty graduate studies

committees. two graduate students, and the President

of the Graduate Student Society.

The Dean of Graduate Studies' secretary serves as secretary to the committee and the

Associate Dean of Graduate Studies attends as a non-voting resource person.

SGSC has established a regular monthly meeting schedule, in an attempt to spread the

workload of the committee more evenly over the year.

SGSC is responsible to Senate for admissions (delegated to the Dean). maintenance of

academic standards, changes to existing programs, evaluation of new programs and

administration

of the graduate general regulations. SGSC approves admissions under

Special Arrangements (via a subcommittee), and may act as an appeal body for student

progress reviews (via a subcommittee).

Graduate Studies at

Simon Fraser University

2009 masters programs and doctoral programs were being offered in each faculty

(except the Faculty

of Health Sciences, although a PhD proposal is under review for that

Faculty). Graduate diploma programs are offered in most faculties. In addition, the Dean

of Graduate Studies office administers the Special Arrangements Program that provides a

home for students with individual interdisciplinary programs

of study and research

(limited

to 40 students). Summary statistics on enrollments and awarding of degrees are

available from the

Office of Institutional Research web site (see Appendix A of this

report for data on enrollments and Appendix B credentials awarded).

Enrollment and Graduation

Graduate enrollments

in degree programs increased steadily from the late 1980's to the

mid-1990's, remained relatively stable for a few years, and saw renewed increases since

2000 (sec Appendix A). The recent increases in graduate degree enrollments early in this

decade were due to a combination

of factors: the development of new programs (such as

the Masters

of Public Policy or the MBA in Global Asset Wealth Management), the

addition of programs at Surrey, the "Double the Opportunities" funding from the

provincial government, and the recruitment of graduate students by new faculty members

as they established their research programs.

Total enrollments increased again in

2009 (5% increase fall 2008 to fall 2009) with

degree program students increasing 8%. Data on credentials awarded are presented in the

Appendix

B. Detailed information on PhDs awarded in 2009 are contained in Appendix

Senate Graduate Committee Activities in 2009

The Assessment Committee for New Graduate Programs (ACNGP) was eliminated by

Senate in

2009 and responsibility for the detailed assessment of new graduate degree

programs, of which the most important element is an external review process, is now

entirely performed by

SGSC. The Associate Dean of Graduate Studies is responsible for

managing the detailed review

of all new graduate program proposals.

There is a two-stage process for approving new degree programs. A notice

of intent and

preliminary proposal are approved

by SGSC and SCUP. The full program proposal is

developed, reviewed and then approved by

SGSC, SCUP and Senate. Graduate diploma

programs and Graduate Certificates are approved by

SGSC, SCUP and Senate.

In 2009, no new degree programs were given preliminary approval by SGSC. However, a

Certificate in Modeling

of Complex Social Systems and a Certificate in Neuroscience

were approved and forwarded on to

SCUP. The proposal for a PhD in Health Science was

reviewed and is currently under external review. A summary

of all new programs since

1981 is provided in Appendix C. Meetings and content are described in the attached

spreadsheet (Appendix E). Numerous minor program details were approved.

Funding for graduate students

Financial support for graduate students improved significantly in

2009 with a substantial

increase to the Graduate Scholarship, Bursaries and Awards budget allowing us to

provide significant recruitment awards to academic units. The province continued to

commit to fund graduate students through a variety of new programs, most notably the

Pacific Century Graduate Scholarships

($500k per annum for four years to SFU students).

Total awards held in fall

2009 from federal granting councils are summarized in the

following table. The Vanier Scholarship program only came into effect in

2009.

2009,

244 students were receiving tri-council funding as opposed to 218 students in 2008. Total

SSHRC awardees totaled 114 as opposed to 86 in 2008. Total NSERC awardees totaled

98 as opposed to

110 in 2008 with a greater number of students receiving the higher

value CGS-D. Total CHIR awardees totaled 27 as opposed to 22

in 2008.

Details can be found in the following table.
