RATIONALE FOR NEW PROGRAM PROPOSAL:
Deletion of Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Ethnic & Intercultural Relations
Replacement by Certificate in Ethnic & Intercultural Relations
RATIONALE-
The Post Baccalaureate Diploma Program in Ethnic and Intercultural Relations
continues to have low registration owing to lack of course availability. The
majority of the students registered in the program are employed and require
course offerings in the evenings, preferably at the Harbour Centre Campus.
Budget constraints have made it difficult to meet this need. Secondly,
discussions are underway for a joint SFU-UBC MA in Applied Intercultural
Studies. UBC has a certificate program in place which will serve as a pathway
for the MA program. The proposed SFU certificate program will serve students
who may wish to continue with the MA program and others interested in ethnic
and intercultural studies. Many of our undergraduate students have completed
courses in ethnic relations. A certificate program will provide academic
recognition to these students and enhance their employment prospects. Lastly,
with the institution of the proposed MA program, the diploma program will
become redundant
Both the Certificate and the proposed MA programs will be housed in the
department of Sociology and Anthropology.
.

ORGANIZATION OF CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Steering Committee
The existing Diploma Program has an interdisciplinary steering committee of eight members. A
smaller committee of actively interested members would be more efficient. Members will have a
broad teaching, research and demonstrated interest in the area.
Calendar Entry
The Ethnic & Intercultural Relations Certificate Program will focus on the dynamic and complex
nature of ethnicity as well as policy implications regarding immigration, employment and social
service provision. The program focuses upon critical inquiry for understanding the historic,
socio-economic and systemic barriers that have stigmatized and excluded minorities from
citizenship and human rights. Drawing examples from Canada and other parts of the world, the
program examines challenges of cross-cultural encounters and explores strategies for social
change. Particular emphasis will be given to activist scholarship.
This program is intended for both general students and those aspiring to become human service
professionals (social workers, educators, police, counselors, personnel managers, health
practitioners or civil servants) who are required to interact effectively and in positive ways with
people from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Graduates of the certificate program
gain an enhanced understanding and appreciation of the value of the pluralistic society in which
we live and work.

New Program Proposals for Joint Majors
Proposal.
1. To
establish a joint major program in Women's
Studies and Criminology
Rationale:
The proposal for a joint major in Women's
Studies and Criminology began with requests from students
and faculty with interests in common in the two programs
1.
Students are already trying to combine courses in Women's
Studies and Criminology, because they consider this a
good preparation for future employment and/or graduate
studies. However, students often have difficulties
accessing courses, particularly in the Criminology
Department. A joint major should facilitate their access
to courses in both departments.
2.
Faculty in both departments have similar theoretical
interests; faculty members in Women's Studies have sat on
the Advisory Committee of the Feminist Institute for
Studies on Law and Society, two faculty members in
Criminology are Associate Faculty Members in Women's
Studies, and courses taught in Criminology are
occasionally designated for Women's Studies credit.
3.
The introduction of this joint major program will not
require any additional resources, but will be
accommodated by existing courses and faculty.
Calendar Entry:
Joint Major in Women's Studies and Criminology
Students interested in a joint program in women's studies
and criminology should contact both department advisors.
To be admitted to the joint major program, students must
satisfy the admission requirements for both criminology and
women's studies (refer to those sections of the Calendar).
They must be approved by the School of Criminology before
they will be approved by the Department of Women's Studies.
To continue in the joint major students must maintain a
CGPA of 2.25, and will not be permitted to register in
upper division criminology courses with a CGPA of less than
2.25. However, a student whose CGPA is between 2.00 and
d
2.25 may be eligible to apply for a major in women's
studies.

Rationale:
The proposal for a joint major in Women's
Studies and History and Women's Studies and Humanities
reflects both student and faculty interests.
1.
Students are already combining courses in Women's
Studies and History and Women's Studies and Humanities
to their mutual benefit
2.
Two Women's Studies courses are designated with
History, several History and Humanities courses are
regularly designated in Women's Studies.
3.
There is a joint appointment in Women's Studies and
History, one of Women's Studies' associated faculty is
appointed in History, and another Women's Studies
associated faculty is jointly appointed in Humanities
and English.
4.
The introduction of these joint major programs will not
require any additional resources, but will be
accommodated by existing courses and faculty.
New Program Proposal:
