PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE GEOGRAPHY GRADUATE PROGRAMME
A. INTRODUCTION
The graduate programme in the department of geography was
last reviewed internally in 1975/6. The subsequent
recommendations effected few changes, however, so that the present
structure of the programme largely reflects the ideas and
interests prevalent in the late 1960's. Changes in the nature of
the discipline, and in faculty research interests, as well as our
experience in operating the programme, encouraged the department
to review all aspects of its graduate programme. These proposals
represent the conclusion of that review which (formally) began in
the fall of 1984.
The geography department offers M.A., M.Sc., and Ph.D.
?
-
degrees. The most substantial changes are proposed in the M.A.
and M.Sc. degree requirements. Essentially, the main thrust of
the proposals is to reduce and change course requirements in order
to explicitly identify the M.A. and M.Sc. programmes with the
"apprenticeship model" of graduate education which more accurately
reflects the department's emphasis on research in these
programmes. Fewer changes are suggested for the doctoral
programme Which the department wishes to (continue to) be strongly
research-oriented and highly flexible in meeting the needs of
individual students. We believe that the revisions described
below streamline our programme in accordance with desired goals
and with the research strengths and resources of the department.
.
.
C

I
-2-
Also note that it is proposed to renumber all graduate courses
from an8XX series base to a 7XX series base.
.
B. PROPOSED REVISIONS
(1) ?
The reduction of M.A./M.Sc. course requirements for the
thesis option from a minimum of 20 credits (including Geog. 800)
to a minimum of 12 credits and (a modified and renumbered) Geog.
800 (see item 2).
RATIONALE
The reduction of the minimum number of courses required
would more accurately reflect the department's emphasis on
research at the M.A./M.Sc. level. In practice, students have used
the reading course option extensively to complete course
S
?
requirements while the contents of such courses are often closely
related to thesis research. (Moreover, faculty typically do not
receive teaching credit for reading courses.) The department
believes that a reduction in course requirements would relieve an
unnecessarily heavy burden on students (and faculty) and reduce
the emphasis on reading course options. Given that the proposed
changes require four courses (including a two-semester course -
Geog. 700/701), a thesis proposal, a colloquium, thesis and thesis
defense we believe our master's programme remains a demanding
one. In addition, we believe a modified GEOG 800 and other course
requirement changes will better equip students to undertake
research-based theses.
The minimum course requirements have to be taken within the
Geography Department and we expect that no more than one course
will be a reading course.
(2)
?
Modification of GEOG 800
(Introduction
to Graduate Studies)
from a one-semester' course to a two-semester course in which all
faculty will participate and in which grading will be on a
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) basis according to attendance,
participation and submission of written work. The chairman and
co-chairman of the graduate studies committee will be responsible
for
organizing
the course which will be renumbered as GEOG 700/
701.
RATIONALE
Geog. 7-00/1 is the only course required of all master's
students. Briefly stated, its goals are' to (a) introduce students
to the research interests of the department and to the resources
available for research in the department, university and
community; (b) introduce the concept of research design and
provide a critical context in which research ideas can be
progressively developed; and (c) -provide a socializing function.
The department believes the stated goals are too ambitious for a
one-semester course. The proposed changes are designed to provide
Geog. 700/1 with a more realistic time-frame to address its goals
and to involve all faculty members in its operation.
An outline of Geog. 700/1 has been attached. In summary,
Geog. 700/1 will comprise (self-contained) presentations by all
faculty members regarding their research interests, seminars on
'resources for research' by guest speakers
(including
faculty
S
S
I]
-4-
members), and some overview sessions by the course coordinators.
Students will be expected to participate in discussions and, with
guidance from appropriate faculty members, to offer verbal and
written presentations on matters relating to their research
interests. _By extending Geog. 700/1 over two semesters students
will have more time to develop research ideas (in a classroom
setting) and it will be possible to establish a clearer link
between work done in Geog. 700/1 and the colloquium master's
students are required to present in their third semester of
residence.
(3)
A change in the quantitative requirement from Geog. 407
Geog. 704 (human geographers) orGeog. 706 (physical geographers).
RATIONALE
i
s
?
?
At present, Geog. 407 is taught infrequently and a
tradition of teaching a quantitative course to both undergraduates
and graduates has not developed. The department believes that
training in quantitative methods and analytical techniques for
graduate students can best be met at the graduate level and that
physical and human geographers need courses suited to their
particular needs. If such training is deemed inappropriate (by
the student's advisor) graduate students can request that another
course replace Geog. 704 or Geog. 706.
?
-
(4)
The Geog. 301 requirement will be dropped.
RATIONALE
On entering the programme master's students normally have
-5-
strong undergraduate backgrounds in geographical methodology, and,
in addition, are (now) required to •take Geog. 800. The department
feels that additional methodological needs can best be met by
courses taken at the graduate level. (Note that Geog. 301 may be
required fOr students on qualifying status.)
(5)' The ex
p
ectation that master's students present a colloquium
to the department to discuss their thesis proposal's is to be
stated as a re
q
uirement. The colloquium is to be presented before
the end of the third semester of residence.
RATIONALE
Our master's students have invariably presented a colloquium
- to the department and the -department believes the colloquium
should be maintained as a valuable mechanism for debate and
information exchange. The present calendar description, however,
"expects" rather than "requires" a colloquium. The suggested
deadline is appropriate to a research-oriented (two-year) master's
programme and is consistent with advice normally given to graduate
students regarding timing of the colloquium..
(6) ?
Master's students will be required to circulate a written
thesis proposal to their supervisory committees, and make a copy
available to the department, by the end of the third week of the
semester following completion of Geog. 700/1.
Written proposals serve to convey information about research
plans and allow for feedback from all members of the department.
Normally, written proposals will be an update of work already done
8

for Geog. 700/1 and will be circulated prior to the colloquium.

RATIONALE
Geog. 802, 803 and 805 are regularly scheduled and are team
taught. For some years, however, faculty and students have
expressed dissatisfaction with these courses.. The main c'oncrn
are that they are broad in coverage and. that the size of the
graduate student body does not justify their concurrent operation.
Moreover, the expanded Geog. 700/1 would overlap strongly with
these courses. The department does not believe four "introduc-
tory" survey-type courses are needed at the graduate level given
the programme's strong research orientation.
? -
The courses in-Group B have rarely been taught. There is no
interest in the department in the maintenance of these courses.
Geog. 892 and Geog. 893 can be dropped given that such -
courses are to be de-emphasized (and students should not do more
than one reading course which can be Geog. 891).
The courses in group D have been regularly scheduled but
their calendar titles are too vague. These courses will be
replaced by courses which are titled to reflect more accurately
10

their contents.

RATIONALE
- The present calendar descriptions of individual graduate
cpurses, in many
,
cases, are too general while the graduate
teaching interests of never faculty members and changes in the
research interests of established members are not reflected in the
graduate calendar
.
at all. The proposed calendar description of
graduate courses offers a more precise statement of the
department's options regarding graduate courses and therefore of
its research priorities and interests.
(9) ?
The course requirements of the extended essay option be
reduced to 20 credits.
RATIONALE
Under the present extended essay option students are
required to undertake
IQ
course credits and write two extended
essays which must be original and not have been submitted for
credit in any course. In addition, students have to present a
S
F_
L
.
-10-
colloquium and defend their essays in the same fashion as students
pursuing the thesis option. These requirements, the department
believes, are excessive. Since the two extended essays involve
original pieces of research and not simply revised term papers, 20
course credits constitute a more appropriate requirement. This
proposal is both consistent with past practice and the research
emphasis of the master's degree.
(10)
All graduate courses be allotted four credits rather than
three or five.
RATIONALE
The distinction between three and five-credit courses is
frequently blurred in practice. -
(11)
The expectation that doctoral students present a seminar on
a non-thesis related topic is to be replaced by a requirement that
doctoral students present a seminar on their research interests
(and prior to formally presenting their thesis proposal).
RATIONALE
In practice, it is difficult to define a "non-thesis"
related topic and there does not seem to be any value in forcing
students to attempt to do so. A seminar related to thesis research
interests, however, and presented prior to the thesis proposal
itself, is a potentially useful exercise for students and for the
department.
(12)
The Qualifying Examination
-
will comprise a written set of
1c.
-11-•
(4) examinations and a subsequent oral defence. Where the
supervisory committee deems it desirable a field problem may be
substituted for one of the examinations. The field problem option
is to be dropped.
RATIONALE
The field option was originally introduced as a means of
evaluating the field work capabilities of graduate students who
had little or no
.
field experience. Virtually all of our incoming
doctoral students, however, have had field experience. The
proposed change therefore eliminates an option which is
unnecessary and serves to help standardize the nature of
qualifying examinations.
(13) Doctoral students will be required to undertake qualifying
examinations by the end of their third semester of residence (and
not by the end of the sixth semester as presently required).
RATIONALE
Given that doctoral students would have no other prior
requirements the department believes two-three semesters is a
reasonable time peri.o,d for students to prepare for qualifying
examinations and for the department to determine whether or not a
student should contin-ue
in the programme.
(14) Thesis proposals by doctoral students should be presented no
?
-
later than the end of the fifth semester.
RATIONALE
At the present time doctoral students are not faced with any
deadline as regards tb
recommendation to have
proposals prior to the
a reasonable challenge
are to be completed in
-12-
esis proposals. The department believes the
doctoral students identify their thesis
completion of two years of residence to be
and indeed essential if doctoral degrees
3-5 years.

M. A. PRC?.AMME
Admissicr
For admission requirements refer to the General Regulations
page 213 .
AdmiEsion ordinarily will be in the fall semester although in
certain circumstances admission in the spring semester may be
considered. Applications for fall admission should be completed
by Marct. 15th of that year.
The X.A. candidate, on being admitted to the Department, will
work under the guidance of a faculty advisor, pending the choice
of a Supervisory Committee. The Supervisory Committee, which
-14-
consists of three faculty members, one of whom may be from outside
the department, will be chosen by the second semester.
De
g ree Requirements
The M.A. programme allows two options; namely the Thesis
Option and the Extended Essay Option. The former requires the
submission of a high quality piece of research which will
ordinarily involve the conceptualization of a problem and the
collection, analysis and interpretation of empirical data. It is
possible, however, for non-empirical research to be undertaken.
In the extended essay option students are required to submit
essays which are original in the sense that they make some
distinctive contribution to the research literature. Extended
essays ordinarily involve a critical review or synthesis of
Sliterature,-concepts and/or techniques or the development of
hypotheses, possibly to include pilot work. Neither the thesis
nor the extended essays should be modification of a paper
completed for course work.
For the M.A. degree the minimum course requirements are 12
credit hours (three one-semester courses) and Geog. 700 and 701
and for the extended essay option 20 credit hours and Geog. 700
and 701. Grading for Geog. 700 and 701 will be on a satisfactory/
unsatisfactory basis and constitutes a (minimum) requirement in
geographic methodology. Geog. 700 and 701 must be taken by
students at the first avaliable opportunity. As part of their
12/20 credit hours students ar.e required to take either Geog. 704,
Survey Methods and Analytical Techniques in Human Geography, or
17
-15-
706, Quantitative Methods in Physical Geography. In certain
circumstances, on the advice of the student's advisor, the student is
can request this requirement be replaced by another course.
Students are expected to complete their minimum course
requirements within the Geography Department and permission must
be obtained from the graduate studies committee to complete a
minimum course requirement outside of the Department. Any
students with deficiencies may be asked to complete more courses,
including at the undergraduate level and in other departments.
Also, at the discretion of the Supervisory Committee, students may
be directed to acquire knowledge of a language which would be
relevant to their studies.
Students are required to submit a written thesis prospectus to
their Supervisory Committee by the end of the third week of the
semester following completion of Geog. 700 and 701. This
prospectus must be approved by the Supervisory Committee prior to
the start of substantive research. In addition, the candidate is
required to present. the research proposal to the Department at a
colloquium prior to the end of the third semester of residence (or
by
the end of the semester following completion of Geog. 700 and

PH.D PROGRAMME
For admission requirements refer to the General Regulations.
All applicants are expected to have completed the requirements of
the M.A. or M.Sc. programme at Simon Fraser University or their
equivalent. Students admitted to the Ph.D. programme without this
background may be required to make up specified courses.
Sup
ervisory Committee
The Ph.D. candidate, on being admitted to the Department, will
work under the guidance of a faculty adviser, pending the choice
of a Supervisory Committee. By the beginning of the second
semester of residence students are required-to choose a faculty
member in the Geography Department as the Senior Supervisor of
their Supervisory Committee and two or more additional committee
members, one of whom may be drawn from outside the Department.
Degree Requirements
The adviser, and subsequently the Supervisory Committee, and
the student shall determine a programme of study designed to suit
the background and research objectives of each candidate. No
formal course work is required of students. After consultation
with the Supervisory Committee, however, students can elect to
take courses in order to acquire knowledge, and skills, including

p
rehensive Examination
Written and oral qualifying examinations designed to establish
0
the student's competence to proceed with doctoral thesis research
will normally be undertaken at the end of the second semester of
residence and-.no
later than the end of the third semester of
residence. Students who fail-the written or oral examination may
retake each, once, after a one semester lapse..
Both parts of the Qualifying Examinatioi must be successfully
completed by the, end of the fourth semester of residence.
The' Qualifying Examination Committee will consist of at least
four faculty' members, from the Department, (including the Senior
Supervisor who will be the Committee Chairman), 'plus one faculty
member to be from outside the Department.
The written examinations will comprise four papers jointly.
agreed upon by the members of the Qualifying 'Examination
Committee. If the Supervisory Committee deems it appropriate a
field problem may be chosen which substitutes for one of the four
written papers.
The oral will be held by the Qualifying Examination Committee
within three weeks following completion of all written
examinations. The student will be examined primarily in the areas
of the topics covered by the written examinations, but questions
may range over the entire discipline.
Ph.D. Thesis
Candidates successfully completing qualifying examinations
?
will be required to present a seminar to the department regarding
20
-18-
their research interests. The seminar will be presented before
interested faculty and students prior to the presentation of a
thesis proposal.
The candidate shall prepare a thesis proposal which shall be
circulated to faculty and resident graduate students. The
candidate will present this proposal at a Departmental colloquium
no later than the end of the fifth semester of residence. In
addition, and prior to completion of the thesis, the candidate
shall be expected to present before interested faculty and
students a report on the progress of his/her research. The timing
of this report shall be selected in conultation with the
candidate's Supervisory Committee.
The completed thesis shall be judged by the candidate's

Geographyand*Ideology
Ideology is widely operative in not only daily practice but in the more
specialized labour of research, writing; and teaching. This seminar
course first attempts to define 'ideology', examines the treatment it
has received in social science literature in the last 100 years, and
then attempts to recognize its operation in Geography per se. In
particular historical, political and cultural geographic practices will
be analyzed.

Some temperate zone landforins can only be understood by examining
today's periglacial regions. Examples of these landforms are those
with compacted subsoils, which affects the regional drainage, polygonal
ground patterning, solifluction terraces, hummocky surfaces and pingos.
The periglacial climate that gave rise to these landforms has changed to
a temperate climate as the current interglacial climate has evolved,
but the landforms have persisted locally as fossil forms.
The subject matter is taught largely on the basis of my personal
experiences in periglacial and temperate regions, during about 20 years,
in several countries which include not only Canada, but U.S.A., Soviet
Union and Europe. There is no textbook that adequately covers this
subject matter since it is cross-discipline, which is one reason for
teaching it as a graduate student course.

Resource and Environmental Issues in the Growth
?
of Food Production Systems
A.
?
Introduction
The early 1970's represented a watershed in the way many viewed
the world's ability to sustain the high post-war growth in agricultural
production and in turn to meet man ' s nutritional requirements. Decline
in North American grain reserves through crop failures, the rise in
the real price of food and subsequent expansion in the cropland base
were unexpected and unfamiliar turns of events. But perhaps more
significant and less tied to vagaries of climate were indications of
a decline in the growth in productivity for major cereals. The
unquestioning allegiance to energy intensive input substitutes as a
means of increasing production was slowly giving way to the realization
that land resources particularly in developing countries would have to
plan an increasingly important role in affecting productive capacity.
Even though lesser developed countries possess greater potential for
expanding their existing productivi-ties they, like their developed
counterparts, face a variety of ecological, resource and manmade
constraints which threaten to diminish the importance of land and weaken
the long term productive capacity of the global food system. In the
words of the recently published Global 2000 Report (1980:97) "arable
area in many regions will likely begin to contract before 2000 as demand
for land for non-agricultural uses increases and as the economic and
environmental costs of maintaining cultivated areas near physical
maxima becomes prohibitive".
Certainly in North America the competition for agricultural land
from non-agricultural sources such as urban, built-up uses, strip
mining, reservoirs; the increasing cost of factor inputs; restrictions on
the availability of water; declines in the marginal productivity of
energy intensive inputs; and climatic factors have combined differentially
to undermine our previous flexibility in sustaining growth in the
agricultural sector. Compounding these problems has been a decline in
the natural fertility of soils and in the ecological base through soil
erosion, declines in humus content, soil compaction, salinization and
sundry forms of pollution. Match these conditions with the scarcity
of capital for development and improvements in farming systems in lesser
developed countries and a variety of institutional barriers to change
and the prospect is that the economic and environmental costs of
producing food in the future will be very unlike those of the past.
The purpose of this course is threefold: first, to analyse and
evaluate the impact of resource and environmental factors upon the
productive capacity of food production systems with particular emphasis
on croplands in both developed and lesser developed countries; second,
to discuss the implications of these findings for global food producing
potential; and third to examine policies and programs designed to
maintain old capacity and expand capacity while balancing economic and
environmental costs.

- growing importance of North America as a food producer;
- inequities in resource endowment and food production;
- demographic transition and problems of self-sufficiency;
- international actors;
- growth of marginal lands;
- the Green Revolution;
- some important resource and environmental issues.

i-) Implications for Resource Management
- resource optimists vs. resource pessimists;
- increasing productity in developing countries;
- carrying capacity of the land;
- costs/benefits of alternative strategies;
- social/political obstacles to change;
- optimal paths to growth under uncertainty.

Instruction and Assignments
One two-hour seminar will be held every week. Students will be
expected to be an active part in discussions and presentations in
these seminars. The course consists of two assignments: one devoted
to a presentation of material or resource/environmental problems in food
production in a selected country; the other a term paper on the theme
of expanding food production as a special problem of resource management.

COURSE OUTLINE: LANDSCAPE AESTHETICS
.
INTRODUCTION
This is an advanced course on landscape aesthetics or landscape as
art. On one level it will critically examine both historical and
contemporary theories that lie behind human actions that transform the
landscape. On another level it will critically examine the ideas of
natural and cultural landscape that lie behind some imagery in Western
literature, photography, landscape painting and sculpture. Key concepts
are geomorphology, ideology, style, naturalism, realism, idealism,
intentionality, period, iconology, social-political content, intentionality,
garden architecture, civic plan, landscape evaluation, sense of place and
scenery.
ORGANIZATION
The course is organized in 12 seminars in which literature reviews
and field work reports will be presented under the following titles;
(1)
The aesthetic dimension of geographic literature (Library)
(2)
Parallel traditions in art history, cultural anthropology and
art criticism (library)
(3)
Techniques and sources of landscape style classification and
.
? periodization (library)
(4)
Analysis of intentionality and metaphor in landscape (library)
(5)
Analysis of Vernacular Style (local field work)
(6) Analysis of Renaissance Landscape design and meaning (library)
(7)
Analysis of Romantic Landscape design and meaning (library and field work)
(8)
Analysis of Modern Landscape design and meaning (field work)
(9)

Morphogenesis And The Built Environment
Description: ?
This course examines the evolution of built environments
in urban contexts. It relates the impetus for morphological
change to broad societal processes. Problems of evidence
and method are discussed.
Background:
?
The study of urban morphology from a geographical, as
distinct from an architectural point of view, focuses
on the broad patterns of urban spatial development. This
has been a traditional point of enquiry in European geography,
and is now receiving increased attention in North America.
The intention in this course is to review the background of
approaches followed in the literature and to link these to
current research, including that by scholars working in the
Vancouver area which provides an accessible 'laboratory' for
demonstration.

Chronogeography
Description: ?
This course examines two approaches to the problem of time-
space in human geography. One emphasizes activity systems
in the conduct of 'practical life' while the other emphasizes
geographical expressions of the life cycle.
Background: ?
Such traditional problems as the journey-to-work and the spatial
diffusion of innovations have given rise to an interest in the
study of the dynamics of spatial settlement. This in itself
is not new but there has been dissatisfaction with the
conceptualizations of the processes involved. This course is
intended to discuss the approach of time-geography, an
approach which is gathering momentum in the field. It is
sub-divided here into two parts. Activities which are of
short duration, but which recur on a persistent and frequent
basis, are the subject of the first part. In the second,
changing environments in the urban setting, as they express
the forces and determinants of the life cycles, are the
principal focus. This course will permit graduate students
to take part in the new experiments to describe changing
environments in terms of what is coming to be called 'time
geography' or chronogeography.
Texts: ?
Reliance will be placed upon the series of studies published
at the University of Lund, especially those by Carlstein
and Hagerstrand. In addition, the work by Parkes and
Thrift represents the most comprehensive review of the material.

F. EXISTING CALENDAR ENTRY STATEMENT OF DEGREE REQUIREMENTS (FACULTY OF
supervision, demands no course credits as such, and involves comple-
tion of a thoroughly researched doctoral thesis. When the student has
been accepted, the Department's Graduate Program Committee assigns
a temporary faculty advisor to assist in relating the student's academic
interests to the resources of the University. Within one month of the
student's first registration in the program, the same Committee assigns
a Senior Supervisor. Together the Senior Supervisor and the student
will begin the course of studies designed to prepare the student in the
chosen areas for the examinations detailed below, and for the definition
of a thesis topic. Before the end of the second semester, the Depart-
ment's Graduate Program Committee assigns a Supervisory Committee
consisting of at least two of the Department's faculty members in addi-
tion to the Senior Supervisor. The student's progress is appraised at the
end of each semester.
At least one of the student's four areas should include the study of a
substantial number of works written before 1800. Any of the traditional
specializations (such as Medieval Literature, the Renaissance, and the
Novel) and less traditional studies, including various interdisciplinary
combinations, are generally acceptable if within the University's current
competence. If writings in French or a foreign language are a necessary
part of any of the designated areas of study, the student must achieve
competence in that language to the satisfaction of the Supervisory
Committee. Otherwise, the program has no requirements for a second
language.
The student will normally receive instruction individually but may
voluntarily take regular courses and may sometimes be required by the
Supervisory Committee, subject to the approval of the. Department's
Graduate Program Committee, to take one or more courses scheduled
by the Department of English or by other departments. The student
must take individual instruction from at least three faculty members in
addition to the Senior Supervisor.
Interdisciplinary Studies
The Ph.D. program in English is designed not simply to tolerate, but
also to foster studies in areas outside traditionally designated fields.
Normally, such studies may be carried on within the Departments when
availability of staff and resources permit. When this is not possible, or
when the applicant specifically seeks an interdisciplinary degree that
includes study in more than one department, such a course of study
may be worked out through special arrangements with the Dean of
Graduate Studies. (See
General Regulations.)
Examinations
Before the end of the sixth semester the student must take four
written examinations, at least one of these by the end of the third
semester. The major and at least one minor area must be examined
formally. One of the three minor field examinations must be written as
an essay on a topic chosen in consultation with the examiners and the
Senior Supervisor; a second minor field may be examined with an
essay, by agreement of the examiners and the Supervisor. Works of
literature and scholarship on which the examination is centered must
be specified by the Senior Supervisor six months in advance of any
examination, unless the student waives this requirement. Within two
weeks from the date on which each formal or essay examination is
passed, the student is examined orally in the area covered by the exam-
ination. In cases where the mark has been deferred until the oral exami-
nation, the latter will be chaired by the Graduate Program Chairman or
his/her deputy. Should the student fail any part of either the written or
the oral examination, the Graduate Program Committee may give per-
mission for re-examination on that part no later than one semester after
the failure.
Ph.D. Thesis
Before the end of the semester following that in which the oral
examination has been passed, the student presents a prospectus for the
thesis, defining the proposed investigation and demonstrating the rela-
tionship between it and existing scholarship. The presentation is
attended by the Supervisory Committee, by a member of the Depart-
ment's Graduate Program Committee, and, if practicable, by the Exter-
nal Examiner.
The completed thesis will be defended in oral examination. Judge-
ment will be made by an Examihing Committee.
For the composition of the Examining Committee and other details
governing the program as a whole, see the
General Regulations

Areas of Research
The Department takes a special interest in the development of theo-
retical and conceptual frameworks in the systematic aspects of Geogra-
,
y; emphasis is placed on the application of these to contemporary
d historical geographical problems in western North America, with
particula
r
reference to British Columbia and the utilization of its
resource
s.
-
A number of areas of research may be pursued in co-operation with
other departments. Suitably qualified candidates will be encouraged to
undertake graduate studies in physical, biological and behavioral sci
ences, history, and economics, when these are related to their geo-
graphical interest.
MA. PROGRAM
Admission
For admission requirements, refer to the
General Regulations
page
213.
Students should hold a Bachelor's degree in an Honors program
with at least a good second class standing (3.0 GPA) in Geography or a
related discipline; where the candidate's first degree is not in Geogra-
phy, he/she should have at least 12 semester hours or the equivalent in
upper division Geography courses.
Students with a General degree must have 30 semester hours or the
equivalent in upper division Geography courses.
M.A. Committee
The M.A. candidate, on being admitted to the Department, will work
under the guidance of a faculty adviser, pending the choice of a Super-
visory Committee. The Supervisory Committee, normally composed of
three faculty members, one of whom may be from outside the Depart-
ment, will be chosen by the third semester.
ree Requirements
All graduate students must show competence in methodology and
in quantitative techniques, preferably by fulfilling the following require-
ments before admission:
a)
Methodology
This requirement will be satisfied by a student having taken
GEOG 406 (Geographical Methodology) or GEOG 301 (Geo-
graphic Ideas and Methodology), or the equivalent at another
institution. Any student lacking this prerequisite will be expected
to take GEOG 301, which will not form part of the course credits
for the M.A. degree. Faculty members who normally teach this
course will be responsible for assessing the student's familiarity
with the subject matter.
b)
Quantitative Techniques
This requirement will be satisfied by a student taking GEOG 407
(Quantitative Methods in Geography) or its equivalent at another
institution. Any student lacking this prerequisite will be expected
to take the GEOG 407 seminar, which will not form part of the
course credits for the M.A. degree. Faculty members who nor-
mally teach this course will be responsible for assessing the crite-
ria for satisfactory performance.
At the discretion of the Supervisory Committee students may be
directed to acquire an adequate knowledge of a language which
would be relevant to their studies.
The M.A. program consists of two alternative sets of degree require-
ments.
a) Extended Essay Program
Students will be expected to complete 30 credit hours of graduate
course-work. Under normal circumstances, each candidate will be
pected to take the following courses:
GEOG 800-3 Introduction to Graduate Studies
two of
GEOG 802-3 Theories and Recent Developments in Physical
Geography
803-3 Theories and Recent Developments in Economic
Geography
805-3 Theories and Recent Developments in Cultural
Geography
A student may be encouraged to take graduate courses outside
the Geography Department as part of the remaining 21 hours of
elective credit
In addition, students will be expected to write two extended essays on
the basis of their graduate work and will be required to give an oral
defence of each; these extended essays shall be original, in that they
should not already have been submitted for credit in any course.
b) Thesis Program
This program requires a thesis and at least 20 hours of graduate course-
work which must include GEOG 800-3. Graduate course-work in depart-
ments outside of Geography may be encouraged.
Colloquium
Each M.A. candidate will be expected to present a paper to the
Department at a colloquium. The paper should be a research proposal,
prepared and presented to the satisfaction of the candidate's Supervi-
sory Committee prior to the start of substantive research.
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN GEOGRAPHY
The Department offers a program leading to the M.Sc. degree in the
Faculty of Science. For details, see the Geography entry in the Faculty of
Science section of this Calendar.
PH.D. PROGRAM
For admission requirements, refer to the
General Regulations
page
213.
Degree Requirements
The Ph.D. candidate, on being admitted to the Department, will work
under the guidance of a faculty adviser, pending the choice of a Super-
visory Committee. The Supervisory Committee, normally composed of
three faculty members, one of whom may be drawn from outside the
Department, will be chosen by the third semester.
The Ph.D. candidate will be expected to show competence in metho-
dology and in quantitative techniques to the level specified by the M.A.
requirements.
At the discretion of the Supervisory Committee, students may be
directed to acquire an adequate knowledge of a language which would
be relevant to their studies.
The program of formal course-work and research is designed to suit
the background and research objectives of each candidate and may
differ widely from candidate to candidate.
Prior to undertaking qualifying examinations, candidates will be
expected to present one seminar on a topic not directly related to the
thesis research. The topic will be selected by the candidate in consulta-
tion with his/her Supervisory Committee, and must be of a standard
acceptable to that Committee. The seminar will be presented before
interested faculty and students (normally in the period between the first
and third semesters before the qualifying examinations).
Qualifying Examinations
Written and oral qualifying examinations designed to establish the
student's competence to proceed with doctoral thesis research will nor-
mally be undertaken at the end of the first year of residence and no later
than the end Of the fourth semester of residence. Students who fail the
written or the oral examination may retake each, once, after a one
semester lapse. Both parts of the Qualifying Examination must be suc-
cessfully completed by the end of the sixth semester of residence.
The Qualifying Examination Committee will consist of at least four
faculty members from the Department, (including the Senior Supervi-
sor who will be the Committee Chairman), plus one faculty member to
be from outside the Department.
a) Written
The candidate will select one of the following two options:
Field Problems
The Qualifying Examination Committee will select a field prob-
related to the candidate's research interests. The examina-

PROPOSED REVISIONS

I have examined the proposed revisions to the Geography
Graduate Programme and discussed their impact on the Library
with Roger Hayter, Chairman of the Geography Department-,-,-.'
While these changes appear to be extensive they do
tJC -.
not, in fact, commit the Library to any significant new
areas of collection development. The new courses, as
described in the submitted outline constitute a re-emphasis
of subject areas which are already collected by the Library.
For example, Geog. 708-4, Ideas and Methodology in the History
of Geography, has not previously existed as a separate
course but the history of geography is already a component
of our collection profile for geography and we have received
new books on our approval plans for several years.
An examination of the titles cited in the course
proposals and the existing collections profiles indicates that
current monograph holdings are adequate and should be main-
tained more or less automatically under existing approval
plans. Seven new journals were identified in the course
proposals and described by Roger Hayter as desirable but
not essential. Two of these are already in the Library
and subscriptions to the rest could be added for an additional
annual cost of approximately $200.00.
It will not, I'm sure, surprise you to learn that the
Library has no funds for additional journal subscriptions
or increased allocations for geography monographs. However,
I do not believe departments should be inhibited from revising
their programmes by inflexible Library policies and I have
suggested to Roger Hayter that a joint library-departmental
assessment of existing collections profiles be undertaken
to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the new curriculum
as closely as possible with no net increase in expenditure.
With departmental agreement on this point I see no reason
why we can't accommodate the proposed revisions within the
confines of the present budget.
