PROPOSAL FOR A BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE PROGRAM TO BE OFFERED ?
IN CONJUNCTION WITH FRASER VALLEY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE AT FRASER
?
VALLEY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
This proposal is for a Bachelor of Arts degree to be offered at Fraser Valley College in
conjunction with SFLT for a limited period of time. Both institutions will gain by the
mutual respect and broadened congeniality arising from their cooperation in
implementing the degree plan outlined below. It is to be hoped that collaboration
between SFU and UCFV in affording new educational opportunities to the public will
continue well beyond the period of any formal agreements established between them.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The University College of the Fraser Valley offers a Bachelor of Arts Degree based on two
Extended Minors in cooperation with Simon Fraser University. An Extended Minor
consists of lower division courses required for an academic Major and the upper division
courses required for an academic Minor at Simon Fraser University. Students earning the
B.A. Degree at UCFV will be required to complete two Extended Minors. This program
is particularly suitable for students preparing to teach in the B.C. school system.
Upon completion of 60 credits which are judged to be transferable to Simon Fraser
University, students wishing to proceed to do the B.A. at the University College of the
Fraser Valley must make a formal application for admission.
Requirements for Admission:
1.
Students must have completed 60 credits of university courses which can be
transferred to Simon Fraser University in order to enter the B.A. degree program
at the University College of the Fraser Valley. Applicants must have a minimum
admission CPA of 2.00.
2.
Applicants who have completed the first 60 credit hours at another public college
in British Columbia, or at a provincial university, will be accepted on the same
basis as students from the University College of the Fraser Valley.
Note: Students on academic probation or with an unsatisfactory record at college
or university will not be accepted.
