Re:

CALENDAR CHANGES

From: Carolyn Lesjak

Graduate Chair

Date: February 13,2012

************************************************************************

Please see the attached calendar pages with before and after changes marked in red. These

changes

were approved at a meeting of the English Department's Graduate Program Committee

on Friday,

February I 0, 2012.

The changes are as follows:

l. to reverse Option A and Option B of the English MA Program to reflect the fact that the

majority of our MA students complete an MA final research paper rather than a thesis.

/This change is due to the fact that, in keeping with most MA programs in Canada, we

encourage students to opt for a research paper in order to complete their MA in one year.

2. to change the required documents necessary to apply to the PhD program. Instead of two

~ademic

writing samples, we now require only one; we also now request that applicants

v

submit a cv. These changes reflect the fact that we found the requirement of two writing

samples unnecessary since we were able to assess candidates with one; and that we

wanted a cv, in order to see what publications students have, and what other work and

experiences they have had.

English Master

of Arts Program

Department of English

I

Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

Simon Fraser University Calendar

2012 Summer

This master of arts (MA) program develops scholars with a critical and comprehensive awareness of

English studies. While offering specialization in one of various areas of strength in the department, the

program requires a breadth requirement through course work and thereby grounds students' interests

in a

wide and flexible understanding

of English studies. Students without a strong English background may be

required to strengthen their preparation before admission. As well, all

MA students complete ENG L 880

and 881, the graduate professional development seminars.

The program may

be completed in one of two ways as shown below.

•

Option A

This Of>tioa eoasists of six em:lfses iaeladiag EI'1GL 880, 881 and a f>re tweatietk eentary literatare

eoarse.

In addition, stadents write a thesis of aeout 1 00

f)

ages and defend it ia aa oral examinatioa.

This option consists of eight courses including ENGL 880, 881, a pre-twentieth century

literature course, and one other pre-nineteenth century literature course. In addition, students

undertake an MA final research paper.

Option B

This 0):3tioa eoasists of eight eoarses iaeladiag EI'1GL 880, 881, a 1:3re tweatieth eeatary literature

eoarse, aad oae other

1:3re nineteenth eentury literatare eoarse.

In

addition, stadents undertake an MA

final researek J:3a1:3er. This option consists of six courses including ENGL 880, 881, and a pre-

twentieth century literature course. In addition, students write a thesis of about 100 pages and

defend

it in an oral examination.

Full-time students typically enrol in two regular courses per term in addition to one of the required

professional development seminars.

The MA program is completed in three terms. For further

departmental requirements, consult the departmental handbook.

The department recognizes the special needs

of working people who wish to improve their qualifications.

Some graduate courses are regularly offered in the evening.

Examinations

While the general regulations set the minimum CGPA necessary for continuance at 3.0, the department

regards grades below B to be unsatisfactory and expects students to achieve above the minimum.

If

progress is unsatisfactory, withdrawal under "'1.8.2 Review of Unsatisfactory Progress" of the Graduate

General Regulations may be required.

later than one term following course work completion. Students proceed with the thesis only after

approval of the supervisory committee and the graduate program committee.

Specialization in Print Culture 1700-1900

The MA program also permits interdisciplinary specialization in the politics of print culture (1700-1900},

focusing on the changing role of printed texts in an emerging commercial society.

Academic Requirements within the Graduate General Regulations

All graduate students must satisfy the academic requirements that are specified in the Graduate General

Regulations (residence, course work, academic progress, supervision, research competence requirement,

completion time, and degree completion}, as well as the specific requirements for the program in which

they are enrolled, as shown above.

GSWS wants to reinstate the professional development colloquium, at a low level of activity, spread out over the

first

two

semesters of registration for alJ Incoming grad students. Attached please find the paperwork for the proposals, and

course outline.

We approved the proposals on September 21 at our Departmental Meeting. The seminar is intended only for our

registered students. I am aware that Mary Ellen Keirn is developing some tutorials also in the theme of professional skill

development, and these may from time

to

time substitute for the intended bimonthly meetings.

The Hard Copy

of

all documents will follow.

J

am refraining from circulating this to other departments on the assumption,

fike a directed reading, it really

is

not construed as an overlap if

it

registers

only

our own students. Let me know if

you

think otherwise.

Thank you and best wishes for the new year.

competence requirement, completion time, and degree completion), as well as the specific

requirements for the program in which they are enrolled, as shown above.

International Studies Master of Arts Program

This full-time 12 month program, leading to a Master of Arts (MA) in International Studies,

consists of seven courses that are completed over three consecutive terms. Courses will be

dependent upon which course stream a student

is completing. These are

• stream A - international development

• stream B - governance and conflict

Admission Requirements

Nonnally, to be considered for admission, applicants must have a bachelor's degree with a

cumulative grade point average

of at least 3.5 from a recognized university, preferably in an arts

or social sciences discipline. In addition, the School also requires a statement

of research

interest. Those admitted with other credentials or those with arts degrees who in the judgment

of

the Graduate Chair are without adequate foundation in the social sciences may be required to

make up any deficiency without receiving graduate credit for those courses. Students are

admitted for commencement

of studies in the fall semester only.

All applicants whose first language is not English and whose undergraduate degrees come from

institutions where English is not the language

of instruction are required to submit English

language test scores. Note that scores are only valid for two years from the date

of examination.

The test scores must come from one

of the four testing agencies below. Normally, we would

require the following minimum scores:

• IELTS (International English Language Testing System) with a minimum score of7.5 on

each Academic Module (listening, speaking, writing, reading);

or

• TOEFL IBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language, internet based test) with an overall

score

of 96 or better with a minimum score of 24 in each of the four components

(listening, speaking, writing, reading); or

• TOEFL PBT {Test of English as a Foreign Language, paper based test) with a minimum

score

of 625 including a minimum essay score of 5.5; or

• TOEFL CBT {Test of English as a Foreign Language, computer based test) with a

minimum score

of 270 including a minimum essay score of 5.5.

Application Requirements

Please consult the International Studies website.

Hi everyone, thanks for meeting yesterday.

Tue, Jan 24, 2012 12:06 PM

We agreed that Public Policy will submit their request for a change from MPP to PLCY

through SGSC to Senate listing all the courses that this change will apply to. This can be

done in memo form as long as all courses are listed.

I understand that there will be no other curriculum changes coming from the School until

this

process is complete.

We anticipate this to be effective Fall 2012, which requires approval from Senate before

the end of April.

It is our intention to maintain existing SIMS id numbers so once Senate has approved

this my unit will make the change in Curricunet and SIMS and this will be reflected in the

Fall 2012 Calendar.

Mary Ann and Gaye will meet to ensure that these changes rollover to the Scheduling

component in SIMS.

If I missed anything please let me know and thanks.

Public Policy Master Program

School of Public Policy

I

Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

Simon Fraser University Calendar 2012 Summer

This master

of public policy (MPP) program offers the skills, insights and analytical frameworks

that public sector and non-profit policy analysts and managers require.

It

focuses on the political

and economic contexts

of public policy analysis and offers specialized study. Designed to

develop the strategic and global perspective required

of tomorrow's senior policy analysts and

managers, the program uses a cohort model which encourages student interaction and co-

operation. An individual research project undertaken in

PLCY 808 and 809 (advanced policy

analysis) is an integral part

of the program.

./

v

This full-time two year cohort program, leading to a master of public policy (MPP), consists of

fourteen courses and a summer co-op/internship. Courses are sequenced through the fall and

spring terms. The maximum course load

is four courses per term.

Admission Requirements

To be considered for admission, applicants must have a bachelor's degree from a recognized

university. Those admitted with other credentials, or those with degrees who, in the judgement

of

the program director, are without adequate foundation in the social sciences, may be required to

make up any deficiency without receiving graduate credit for those courses.

Students are normally admitted in September.

It

is expected that approximately 30 students will

be directly admitted in any one year.

The normal admission minimum undergraduate

GPA is 3.0 (or equivalent), although the

admissions committee and program director may consider relevant work experience when

determining admission eligibility.

Criteria for admission, in addition to undergraduate grades, include strong letters

of reference, an

essay, and for those whose native language is not English, acceptable

TOEFL scores (570

minimum) and a score of 5 or above on the Test of Written English. Students with non-Canadian

undergraduate or graduate degrees are required to complete the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).

Application Requirements

• a Simon Fraser University graduate application form, which is available from the School

of Public Policy office or from www.sfu.ca/mpp

---

• official undergraduate transcript showing all grades (mailed directly from the granting

institution)

• three confidential reference letters (mailed directly from referees), at least two of which

are from faculty members (may be waived for mid-career applicants with professional

experience; letters from employers may be used). Reference forms are available from the

office or from www.sfu.ca/mpp

• a one-page essay that explains why the applicant wishes to pursue the MPP degree

• a student whose first language is not English and whose undergraduate degrees were

from institutions where English is not the language

of instruction are required to submit

TOEFL and Test

of Written English scores

• GRE score for non-Canadian degree applicants

Program Requirements

The candidate must complete a total of ten core PLCY courses, a summer co-op/internship, and

four additional elective courses that must be approved by the School

of Public Policy director.

New Course Justification:

The proposed new course in Sustainability Assessment for Cities adds to the existing strength of

the SFU Urban Studies Program

in

the area of urban sustainability and

adds

a course designed

for online delivery to the Urban Studies suite of courses. This course is in the area of research

specialization

of Urban Studies faculty member Meg Holden. This course was developed in .

2008-2009

by

Dr. Holden (as PI) along with colleagues from the University of Northern British

Columbia and British Columbia Institute of Technology using

BC Campus Online Program

Development Funds and was piloted in Summer 2009

by

Dr. Holden as an Urban Studies

selected topics course: It is being offered for a second time

in

Fall 2011 with online and face-to-

face components. This course is adaptable to mixed-mode and seminar delivery.

There is strong demand for this course demonstrated

by the high response to advertisement of its

pilot offering

in

Summer 2009. It complements the existing Urban Studies course URB

645

Urban Sustainable Development as a more specialized facet of this large and growing topic

within

mban studies and adds significantly to the unique cachet of the urban sustainability focus

within SFU Urban Studies. There is no significant overlap with existing graduate course .

offerings either

in

the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences or the Faculty of Environment.

Existing assessment-oriented offerings

within the School of Resources and Environmental

Management take a much different, resource-specific (fisheries, environmental risk) approach

to

assessment as a quantitative technique as opposed to the focus within this course on assessment

for sustainability as a set of conceptual and political tools.

COURSE

DESCRIPTION

Sustainability assessment is emerging as a more transparent, comprehensive, integrated and far-

sighted approach

to

decision making I. Particularly as more organizations express commitments

to sustaina.bility, there is a growing emphasis on the ability

to

define sustainability in a particular

context and apply that definition to an organization's operations, justifying options and weighing

tradeoffs (Gibson et al., 2005).

This course provides an overview of concepts, methods,. tools and techniques for monitoring

performance and measuring sustainability. A key

focus will be on designing systems for

measurement that are aligned with contemporary innovative urban policy goals such as

sustainability, smart growth, and competitiveness and processes such as performance

measurement and results-based accountability.

Participants completing the course will

have:

• An understanding of how to select and prioritize indicators that are effective and

appropriate to monitoring

in different contexts.

.

• Knowledge of a

variety

of case studies of organizations that have successfully integrated

sustainability monitoring into

their operations.

• The ability to scope, plan and implement an assessment program.

• Strategies for mitigating the challenges of doing indicator work and methods for

reporting out on results.
