Proposal for a
?
Community Economic Development
?
Certificate Program
REVISED
This proposal is to request approval of a Community Economic Development
undergraduate certificate program.
Revisions to this proposal have been made based on advice and suggestions of the
Associate Dean of Arts and from the FACC New Program sub-committee meetings, May
28th and June 11th, 1998.
RATIONALE:
The academic goals of the Centre focus on moving toward a combination of highly
marketable credentials that can be offered with little additional cost to the university.
The CED Post Baccalaureate Diploma currently consists of four required CED "core"
courses (16 upper division credits), plus two CED electives (Special Topics and Directed
Studies at 4 upper division credits each), and a selection of electives from other academic
units, for a total of 30 upper division credits. Our enrollment for fiscal year 1996/97 was
123, for a FFE of 19.7. Over the last four years, our PBD was the fourth largest Faculty
of Arts PBD, graduating almost 12% of the total. We are among the middle sized Arts
. ?
PBD programs, between Criminology and Linguistics' Teaching English as a Second
Language (ESL).
Although these figures are respectable, particularly for a young program, having the PBD
as our only academic option is awkward. Our upper division courses are increasingly
attracting undergraduates, who regularly make up 50% of our course enrollment in our
introductory CED 400, and bring our enrollment up to maximum in that class.
Furthermore, we are increasingly attracting outside applicants who do not have the
Bachelor's degree prerequisite for our current PBD program. Many of these are mature
learners and professional people. Others are long-standing economic development
professionals in First Nations communities.
While some of these are indeed exceptional applicants, and it is possible for us to
consider "departmental sponsorship," it is disturbing to the CED Centre to be faced with
this growing number of "exception" applications. We feel that this can only undermine
the value of the CED Post-Baccalaureate credential. As an SFU academic unit, we do not
wish to take this "exception" route around Admissions requirements.
In particular, the CED Centre is proud to contribute to SFU's First Nations education
work. Our collaboration with the Council for the Advancement of Native Development
(CANDO) is beginning to bear fruit. Our courses have now been approved by CANDO
for their Economic Development Officer (EDO) accreditation program. We will
therefore be eligible, among other Canadian universities and colleges, to attract the
2,000-3,000 EDOs which CANDO is proposing to certify in the next five years.
CANDO will be paying the various universities to administer their program. Many
• ?
participants will be mature students without Bachelor's degrees. CANDO's program
participants will be able to pick and choose among courses from several institutions
across Canada. Our ability to attract - and keep - these students, in competition with
these other institutions, is greatly enhanced by our ability to deliver courses by distance
education, but is reduced by the lack of an SF0 credential at the appropriate academic
level that would make our courses an attractive and retentive package.
Lastly, we believe that the option of a certificate program will enhance the ability of the
Centre to attract professional persons in both economic and social development fields
seeking education enhancement (and a credential), but not desiring the challenge of the
Diploma, which is equivalent in credit hours to the courses required for some MA
degrees.
We are therefore requesting approval for an undergraduate Certificate in CED, which
would maximize our ability to more effectively offer our courses as a complement to
many majors, as well as fully utilizing our classroom and distance education capacity.
We believe that an undergraduate Certificate is the simplest and most cost-efficient
option for the Centre and the University at this time.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
We propose that this certificate consist of a minimum of 19 credits, as follows:
Upon completion of 30 credit hours, a student may make application to the Certificate
program. Students must attain a grade of at least C+ in each of CED 201 and CED 301
for continuance in the program, and must maintain a CGPA of at least 2.5 over all CED
courses to obtain the Certificate.
Course requirements would be as follows:
Two new courses replacing one existing course, CED 400, to be deleted -
CED 201-3 Introduction to CED (lecture/tutorial and distance education course)
CED 301-4 Sustainable Community Development (lecture/tutorial and distance
education)
Two existing courses -
CED 401-4 Techniques and Concepts in CED (seminar and distance education)
CED 403-4 Models and Cases in CED (seminar and distance education)
A minimum of 4 credit hours of electives, which may be -
CED 410-4 Special Topics (seminar)
or may be selected from a list of pre-approved
lower division or upper division
multidisciplinary electives, in accordance with content themes set out by the CED Centre,
and appearing in the calendar. This list would be prepared each semester by the CED
Centre. Under circumstances where fieldwork or work experience is not available as part
of a student's major, minor or co-op program, the student may apply to take CED 404-4,
"Project in CED" as their elective.
Those who complete the undergraduate Certificate would not be permitted to enroll in the
Post-Baccalaureate Diploma program.
This program could be completed in the classroom within a span of two years, as each
CED course would be offered once per year in the classroom in either the fall or spring
semester. This provides ample room for the student in a Bachelor's program who is able
to start this program after 30 credit hours of undergraduate work, i.e. by the end of their
first year. We propose to develop a distance education cycle offering each course once
every two years so that it could also be completed entirely by distance education in two
years.
Contrast with Post Baccalaurate Diploma in CED
This certificate would be in clear contrast to the Post Baccalaureate Diploma, which
would continue to consist of a minimum of 30 credits as follows:
Courses required: the proposed new upper division course:
CED 301-4 Sustainable Community Development (lecture/tutorial/distance education)
Required: Three existing required courses:
CED 401-4 Techniques and Concepts in CED (seminar)
CED 403-4 Models and Cases in CED (seminar)
CED 404-4 Project in CED (directed individual practicum)
Plus upper division electives totalling the remaining minimum 14 credit hours
These electives are chosen from among the following CEDC electives and from a list of
pre-approved
upper division
multidisciplinary electives in accordance with content
themes set out by the CED Centre, and appearing in the calendar.
Existing CEDC electives:
CED 410-4 Special Topics
CED 412-4 Directed Study
Upper Division multidisciplinary electives (from academic departments)
e.g. BUS 374-4 Organization Theory, CMNS
345-4
Communications and Development,
ECON 368-3 Regional Economic Analysis, GEOG 466-4 Latin American Regional
Development, POL 342-4 Relations of Developed/Developing Nations, SA 316-4
Tourism and Social Policy, WS 309-3 Gender and Development.
The Certificate differs from the PBD as follows:
• the lower division course (which the Diploma students would not be able to take for
credit toward the PBD);
• the absence of the practicum requirement; and
• the inclusion of lower division electives (upper division electives optional).
• Certificate courses also applicable to a Bachelor's degree.
.
PROGRAM RESOURCES:
New resources commitments for this Certificate program are very modest.
Teaching Resources:
Course change proposals for 1999 are designed to meet the needs of this proposal.
We are proposing to divide one course, CED 400-4, into two courses, a lower division
CED 201-3 and an upper division CED 301-4. By offering these courses once each per
year and both of them alternately by class and distance education, we will be expanding
our class capacity while expending the same resources annually as we currently expend
on CED 400-4 (offered twice yearly). We believe this is the most labour-efficient and
cost-effective way to create, promote and maintain an undergraduate certificate program
that is significantly different in character from the existing Post-Baccalaureate Diploma.
Current faculty and sessionals are capable of teaching both these courses.
We do not anticipate an immediate need for teaching assistantships, but this may change
if course enrollments warrant.
Continuing to offer all CED courses once per year in the classroom and utilizing a
sequential Distance Education cycle of all CED core courses (CED 201, 301, 401, 403,
plus 404 as a directed studies) over two years will meet the requirements of both the
Certificate and Diploma at this time, making it possible for students to complete in two
years (six semesters) part-time or as part of a Bachelors degree.

Administrative Resources:
Our current staff are now handling student advising for applicants lacking PBD
qualifications. The program approval and graduation processes for a certificate program
are not a significant addition. The addition of Stephen Duguid as Associate Director
commencing Fall 1998 will enhance our existing advising capacity.
