Rationale for Proposed MRM Program Changes
The proposed course changes are intended to enrich the offerings
available to MRM students. In the revised program 10 of the original
14 MRZ4 courses are retained as the core; the
remaining
4 are made
available as options. Eight additional courses are proposed for our
Program including 3 new MRM offerings (MRM 647 -- Rural Planning,
MRM 650 -- Energy Uses and Policy, MRM 660 -- Special Topics in
Resources Management). The. remaining 5 are existing specialized
courses from Business Administration, Economics, Biosciences, and
Forestry.
The final suggested change concerns prerequisite courses. A
parametric and nonparametric Statistics course is essential for all
MRN students.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The basic program prescribes completion of 29 hours of required graduate
courses. The student also undertakes an additional four elective courses (at
least 12 hours) for a total of at least 41 credit hours.
Six hours of this total can be for graduate course transfer credit either
in required or elective courses. Up to a further six hours of the required
courses can be replaced by elective courses if the student has completed the
content of one or more of the required courses to a level satisfactory to the
Director of the Program. Under these provisions, at least 35 Program credit
hours must be taken at this institution.
Prerequisite Courses
All students must complete or have completed three undergraduate courses

RURAL PLANNING
This is a non-technical course dealing with the problems of and approaches
to rural land use planning largely from the point of view of a Regional
District in British Columbia. The course is divided into three main phases:
1.
Introductory lectures covering the nature and typical
problems of rural areas, their people, their govern-
mental processes and powers and the approaches taken
to their problems.
2.
Lectures by guest experts on (a) resource developments,
including forestry, mining and agriculture (b) govern-
mental operations applying to rural areas, notably
highways, water administration, the ELUC Secretariat
and regional district planning.
3.
Case studies from B.C. and elsewhere illustrating
typical rural planning operations.
SAssignments
There will be regular readings throughout the course. The main products
required of students will be:
1.
Resumes of guest lectures.
2.
A course review covering phases 1 and 2.
3.
Reports on two of the case studies.

without placing any pressure on

the library. He obtains
the material from his sources in the government and we
process
