Rationale for Proposed MW Program Changes
Experience with the first two classes of students has revealed
widespread misinterpretation of. the original program description and
lack of flexibility in designing a program of studies for individual
students. The proposed changes would correct these problems by
permitting
students to receive credit for required course material
covered prior to enrolling in the ME4 Program.

PROPOSED PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Degree Requirements
At least 35 credit hours are prescribed for the program, 23 of which
are from the required group of courses and 12 are from the electives.
A further 6 credit hours from the required group must be completed by
the students whose overall academic background is deficient. Normally,
students may be permitted formal transfer credit for 6 hours of the basic
35 credit-hour program for courses taken elsewhere.
Under these regulations, a student with previous graduate-level
training in appropriate areas, and with a suitable undergraduate background,
could normally complete the MRM Program requirements with a minimum of
29 credit hours of work at Sirron Fraser University. The program of studies
for each student must be approved by the Director.
Required Group of Courses
(At least 23 hours of these courses must be completed. Depending on
overall academic background, a further 6 hours may be required.)
