Background:

The music/entertainment industry in North America is a large multi-billion dollar industry (at 100 billion dollars a year, it is the 8th largest industry in the United States), and several universities in the USA prepare students for employment in the industry. No such programs exist in Canada, and the new BA in Music Administrative Studies is designed to train students for management positions in the Canadian music industry. The program will be located in the Department of Music History in the Faculty of Music and has been developed jointly by the Department and the Administrative and Commercial Studies program in the Faculty of Social Science.

The program provides students with a broad background in both administrative studies and music, and a core of 8.5 courses from the ACS program and 7.5 courses from Music forms the backbone of the degree. The program has been designed to leave 4.0 courses as electives so that students may gain further expertise in one or more areas of the program (administrative studies, musical theatre, popular music, jazz, and western art music).

Academically, the program is extremely rigorous. Its interdisciplinary focus, which combines central elements of both the ACS program and the BA in Music, will present a challenging environment for students. A relatively low intake of students each year--approximately 10 students, for a total program enrollment of 40 students over the four years--will ensure that 澳门六合彩开奖预测 will attract students of the highest calibre to the BA in Music Administrative Studies.

The program will help to fill critical employment gaps in the music industry by providing employers with graduates who have the skills in both music and administration to assume leadership roles in the industry. Career opportunities for graduates include music publishing, instrument manufacturing, music/arts management, production and distribution of recorded music, manufacturing of electronic music equipment, and the marketing of music products.

Attached as Appendix 1 are Lists A, B and C referred to in the Calendar Copy.

2. Four-Year Bachelor of Arts Program in English

Recommended: That, effective September 1, 2000, a four-year general Bachelor of Arts program in English be introduced by the Faculty of Arts.

NEW CALENDAR COPY

Four-Year General BA in English

A mark of at least 60% in English 020E, 022E, or 024E. Students should consult with the Department prior to admission.

7.5 senior English courses including:

English 200 or 201a/b and 204F/G
One of English 211, 212, 214E, 224E, 234E
One of English 244E, 254E, 264E, 274E
One of the above not already chosen or English 209E, 232E, 253E, 258E, 284E, 289E
3.5 additional senior English essay courses, no more than two of which may be at the 100-level. A half-course at the 400 level is optional.

Background:

The Faculty of Arts model of four-year general programs offers students the opportunity to extend their studies for a further year at a more advanced level. These programs are more widely recognised than three-year degree programs, but they do not have the same progression or graduation requirements as honors programs, they do not require the same degree of concentrated study of a particular subject at the 300 and 400 levels, and they are less likely to be used as a basis for admission to graduate school. Each program introduces students to the subject as a whole, and gives them some degree of mastery of it. A minimum of fifteen courses (including both principal courses and options) is required in the three senior years.

The General Degree in English will require 7.5 senior courses in the program. As a matter of principle, programs in English are arranged to allow students an easy shift from one program to another; that is, the requirements of the Honors Program include all the requirements of the Area of Concentration and the Combined Honors programs. Students in the four-year honors program who are unable to return to the university to complete their fourth year generally find that they have fulfilled the program requirements of the three-year degree, and those in the Area of Concentration who achieve the marks for Honors do not lose courses by the transfer. The new program will fit into this system, and while the requirements for entrance and continuance in the program will be 65% rather than 70% for principal courses, students who acquit themselves at a high level in the General Program may choose to transfer to Honors in a subsequent year.

For purposes of comparison, note that the current three-year program in English requires five senior English essay courses, all but two of which must be 200-level. The combined honors program requires six senior English essay courses, including EN 200 or 201a/b and 204F/G; one from 211, 212, 214E, 224E, and 234E; one from 244E, 254E, 264E, and 274E; and three optional courses, including not more than one course at the 100-level and possibly including one 400-level seminar. The honors program requires ten senior English courses and a second language at the 020-level, including the following: 200 or 201a/b and 204F/G; one of 211, 212, 214E; one drama course; four of 224E, 234E, 244E, 254E, 264E, and 274E; two optional senior English essay courses, only one of which may be at the 100-level; and one 400-level seminar course. The proposed four-year program would require seven and a half senior English essay courses, including 200 or 201a/b and 204F/G; one full-course equivalent from 211, 212, 214E, 224E, and 234E; one full-course equivalent from 244E, 254E, 264E, and 274E; one additional full-course equivalent from those already given here or 209E, 232E, 253E, 258E, 284E, and 289E; and three and a half additional senior English essay courses, including an optional half-course 400-level seminar.

3. Bachelor of Health Sciences/Honors Business Administration Program (BHSc/HBA)

Recommended: That the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Richard Ivey School of Business Administration introduce a concurrent Honors Bachelor of Health Sciences/Honors Business Administration program, effective September 1, 2000.

NEW CALENDAR COPY

CONCURRENT HONORS BHSc/HBA PROGRAM

Admission

Normally, students will apply for the concurrent degree program during their second year in the BHSc program. To be eligible for admission consideration for the concurrent program, students must complete all requirements for the first two years of the BHSc program, obtain a minimum two-year (ten credit) average of 80%, and achieve a minimum 70% grade in Business 257. Demonstrated participation in extra curricular and/or community activities, leadership, and work experience are also admission criteria. Applications must be made in writing to the BHSc Program Chair and the HBA program by the published deadlines for the Ivey Business School. Entrance to the program is competitive and limited.

Students applying to the Richard Ivey School of Business Academic Excellence Program (AEP) are also eligible to be considered for the concurrent program, as are students who have completed the first two years of the BHSc program and the first year of the HBA program.

Program Requirements

Students registered in the concurrent program are expected to abide by all guidelines associated with each of the individual programs.

Progression Standards

Students in the concurrent program must meet the progression standards of each Faculty or School, and stand in the top half of their class in the year and School/Program in which they are enrolled.

Failure to Meet Progression Standards

A student who fails to meet the progression standards in any year must withdraw from the concurrent program. With permission from the appropriate HBA Program Director and/or the BHSc Standing Committee Chair (depending upon the current year of registration), the student may continue in one program and request permission from the other Faculty or School to complete that program at a later date.

Dean's Honor List

Students in the concurrent program are considered for the Dean's Honor List in the Faculty in which they are enrolled. For HBA, only grades obtained in 300 and 400 level courses taken at Ivey are used for determining the Dean's Honor List. This list is comprised of approximately the top 10% of each section in HBA 1 and the top 10% of all of HBA 2. It is determined by vote of the teaching faculty. Those who achieve Dean's Honors List over all courses taken at Ivey at the completion of the joint program will graduate as Ivey Scholars.

Graduation With Distinction

Students registered in the Honors BHSc/HBA program can obtain distinction in either or both of HBA 1 or HBA 2 by achieving an 80% average. This designation is independent of the Dean's Honors List and is based on the grades obtained in all courses recognized for credit by Ivey. This includes courses taken elsewhere at UWO during the Honors BHSc/HBA program and grades obtained on Exchange.

Exchange Programs

Students enrolled in the concurrent program may be eligible for HBA exchanges in Year Five. A student must satisfy both Program Directors/Chairs that his or her course load is appropriately balanced before permission will be given to participate in an exchange program.

First Year

Health Sciences 021
One of Biology 022, 023 or 026
One of Psychology 020 or 023, or Sociology 020 or 1.0 full course equivalent credit chosen from Anthropology 025F/G, 026F/G and 027a/b
Business 020
1.0 full-course equivalent elective

Second Year

Health Sciences 201, 202F/G, 203a/b, 204F/G, 205a/b, 206a/b
Business 257
0.5 elective chosen from non-Health Science courses

Third Year

Business Administration 300, 301, 302y, 303, 304, 305, 307, 308, 316y, 326y

Fourth Year

Health Sciences 303a/b, 305a/b, 306a/b
Business Administration 420y
2.5 Business Administration elective credits chosen from available 400-series courses
0.5 Health Sciences elective

Fifth Year

Health Sciences 302F/G and 401
2.0 Business Administration elective credits chosen from available 400-series courses
1.5 Health Sciences electives

Background:

The Faculty of Health Sciences and the Richard Ivey School of Business Administration believe there is a demand in the health care field for university graduates who have a strong background in matters related to health and the health care system, and the knowledge and skills necessary to be an effective administrator. The proposed program will endeavour to meet those needs through a concurrent degree that will combine the curriculum of the BHSc program with the business and management skills of the HBA.

The program will take five academic years to complete. In years 1 and 2, students will be registered in the Faculty of Health Sciences and will follow the normal BHSc curriculum. Students will register in the Richard Ivey School of Business Administration in Year 3 and will complete the normal HBA 1 curriculum. In years 4 and 5, students will be registered in both the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Richard Ivey School of Business Administration, and will take an approved mix of Health Sciences and Business Administration courses as outlined below. Upon completion of the program students will receive both an HBA and an Honors BHSc degree.

4. Preliminary Year Program at Brescia College

Recommended: That the Preliminary Year Program at Brescia College be amended to read as outlined below (strikeout = deletions; bold/underline= additions):

REVISED CALENDAR COPY

[Brescia College offers] a co-educational preliminary year program for students who have a minimum of 24 credits toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). A minimum 70% average in an academic program oriented toward university studies with most courses at the advanced level of difficulty is required for admission consideration. Prerequisites for Preliminary Year courses will normally be the same as for the Ontario Academic Credits.

Students from outside Ontario are admitted with the equivalent of Ontario Grade 12 on the basis of percentage and rank in class. and principal's report.

The preliminary year consists of five courses selected from: English 010E, Geography 010, History 014, Mathematics 017a and 012b, Religious Studies 011, Sociology 010, French 002 or 010, German 002, Latin 002, Russian 002, Spanish 002. Successful completion of the preliminary year requires a pass standing in all five courses with a minimum overall average of 60%.

Students who have successfully completed the preliminary year are formally eligible to apply for admission to Brescia College, The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario, and its other affiliated colleges. Admissions decisions will be based on academic performance and completion of prerequisite courses and the Dean's decision regarding admissions is final.

Courses taken in the preliminary year will be part of the student's overall academic record. These five courses however constitute the basis of admission to university study and do not carry university credit. Students may appeal course marks following the usual procedures (see relevant Academic Rights and Responsibilities Section of the Calendar) but failure of a preliminary year program may not be appealed.

Although there are no scholarships available for entrance to this program, upon completion of this qualifying year, students are eligible for Brescia's entrance scholarships to first year.

Background:

The Preliminary Year program was last considered by Senate at its meeting of October 20, 1966. The revisions being put forward reflect the current practice at Brescia College. Brescia no longer asks for a Principal's report to accompany an application from a student residing outside Ontario. Students are only rarely allowed to take preliminary year courses at other campuses and Brescia does not offer Latin or Russian so these courses will be deleted from the calendar copy. The College also plans to revise the calendar copy by the addition of Chemistry 010 and Geography 012 next year. As with other faculties the Dean's decision on admissions will be final. Because the Preliminary Year program is a separate, qualifying year and not part of a degree program, appeals to repeat the year will not be allowed, however, appeals for individual courses which comply with the regulations regarding Academic Rights and Responsibilities, may be made.

5. Admission Criteria for the Program in Physical Therapy

Recommended: That effective for the 2000-2001 academic year, the calculation of the admission average for applicants to the undergraduate program in Physical Therapy be based upon the last ten (10) full or equivalent courses completed, as shown on the transcripts submitted with the student's application.

REVISED CALENDAR COPY
(Page 85 of the 1999 UWO Academic Calendar)

Under Additional Details, item 5:

Admission into the program will remain limited to 64 students. Selection will normally be based on the student's overall average calculated from the last two academic years of the student's undergraduate degree. Each of these academic years must consist of a minimum course load of five (5) full course credits or equivalent. Only grades during terms/semesters with a five (5) course credit or equivalent load will be used to calculate the overall average. Applicants will be considered for admission to the Physical Therapy program primarily on the basis of their academic record in the ten (10) full or equivalent courses most recently completed.

Background:

The proposed method for calculating the admission GPA in the School of Physical Therapy is similar to that already used in the Faculty of Health Sciences' Schools of Communication Sciences & Disorders and Occupational Therapy, and is similar to that used by the Physical Therapy programs at the University of Toronto and McMaster University. The proposed change in admissions policy will also permit the School of Physical Therapy to make better use of the Ontario Rehabilitation Sciences Program Application Service (ORPAS) currently being developed by the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) to accommodate program admissions to the five Physical Therapy programs in Ontario.

6. Withdrawal of the BSc Program in Clothing, Textiles and Design at Brescia College

Recommended: That effective September 1, 2001, the Clothing, Textiles and Design Program at Brescia College be withdrawn.

Background:

The Clothing, Textiles and Design program is housed within the Department of Human Ecology at Brescia College. Like the other two Human Ecology programs (Foods and Nutrition, and Family Studies) the CTD program is jointly offered by Brescia College and the Faculty of Science. Students in the CTD program earn a Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology, and the science requirements in the program are significant. In September 1998 a BA option was added that would have allowed CTD students to study for a BA degree, with fewer science courses being required.

Enrollment in this program has declined steadily over the years. During the W98 academic year a total of 8 students were enrolled in all four years of the program, for which four full time faculty members were employed. This pattern has been apparent over at least the last 7 years. The CTD faculty, working with the Department of Human Ecology and with the Brescia College administration, made numerous attempts in the past four years to revise and publicize the program so that it would attract more students. The program is a broad-based one that introduces students to many different aspects of textiles and clothing-technical, commercial, historical, social, and aesthetic. In addition, the program includes a significant design component. This niche never turned into an attractive one for potential students; competing programs with more emphasis on fashion and design at both the university (Ryerson) and college (Fanshawe) levels have provided very stiff competition, without the science requirements that the CTD program entailed.

After various cycles of revision, and in the face of an enrollment decline which demands reallocation of resources, the College decided in the fall of 1998 to suspend admissions to the program. The College now seeks formal approval for the program closure.

Students currently in the program will be encouraged to complete the required CTD courses for 3-year and Honors degrees during the W99 and W00 academic years. The chair of the Department of Human Ecology has worked closely with CTD students to help them plan their next two years so that CTD courses will be completed, and only Human Ecology, option courses, and required courses offered by other departments will remain to be completed. Given the small number of students in the program, it seems quite likely that all students will be able to complete in the allotted time span.

The appointments of the four full-time CTD faculty ended on June 30, 1999. Three of the four have returned to Brescia as part-time instructors for W99.

Changes to the Calendar

The program description for Clothing, Textiles and Design should remain in the calendar for the next two years. The descriptions would be deleted for the W02 academic year. At that point (assuming a print-format calendar is still being produced) the following changes should be made (page numbers refer to 1999 Academic Calendar):

P. 284: Deletion of "Clothing, Textiles and Design" program in listing of the 3-Year Programs and Four-Year Honors Programs available from the Department of Human Ecology.

p. 285: Deletion of program descriptions of Three-Year BA(HEc), Four-Year BA(HEc) Honors, Three-Year BSc(HEc), and Four-Year BSc(HEc) Honors in CTD.

p. 296-297: Deletion of the following Clothing, Textiles and Design courses:
