A foreign language is recommended for Honours students, especially those considering graduate work in Archaeology. Successful completion of the Honours program provides a good foundation for graduate work in Archaeology, but does not automatically ensure admission to the graduate program.

It is strongly recommended that all Archaeology Majors, especially Honours students, take the field school courses (Archaeology 306, Archaeology 506) or a departmentally approved field school. Students must obtain approval from the Faculty of Social Sciences prior to attending a field school run by another university.

Graduation in Honours Archaeology requires a cumulative GPA of at least 3.30 over previous University of Calgary courses and courses taken at other institutions which are applicable towards the completion of degree requirements. Students who have entered the Honours program and subsequently find their grades to be borderline are warned to evaluate their position before entering their fourth year of studies in order to ensure graduation in one of the other types of programs.

The Co-operative Education program in Archaeology is a five-year program which normally includes 16 months (but may include 20 months with Department and Faculty approval) of supervised work experience in various private and government agencies.

Admission

Students who wish to enter the Archaeology Co-operative Education program are urged to discuss their pre-admission course selection with the Faculty of Social Sciences Associate Dean (Student Affairs) and the Department of Archaeology as early in their program as possible.

Students apply to the Faculty Co-operative Education office by one of three application deadlines: May 15, September 15, or January 15.

Applicants must have declared an Archaeology major and successfully completed at least four full-course equivalents (University of Calgary and transfer courses). In addition, they must have a grade point average of at least 2.70 over the most recent five full-course equivalents (or four full-course equivalents in the case of students who have not yet taken five) for the BA or BSc programs. For the BA or BSc Honours Co-operative Education programs, applicants must have a grade point average of at least 3.30 over the most recent five full-course equivalents. All grades within a session will be included except where the number of courses taken within a session exceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximum of) five full-course equivalents, in which case the highest grades will be used.

At the time of their first Co-operative Education placement, students must have successfully completed one full-course equivalent in Archaeology at the 200-level and at least two of Archeology 306, 413, 415, 417, or 471. At this time, students must have successfully completed at least eight and normally no more than 14 full-course equivalents appropriate to their degree program. Students are strongly recommended to take Anthropology 307, Statistics 333, Computer Science 203, or Geography 339.

Students should refer to the Co-operative Education section of this Calendar, as well as to "Co-operative Education Program" in the Faculty of Social Sciences regulations section for specific regulations pertaining to Co-operative Education programs.

Requirements

Students must complete the following four courses (work placements) in addition to the regular requirements for the BA, BSc and BA, BSc Honours Archaeology programs: Co-operative Education 551.01, 551.02, 551.03, and 551.04. A fifth Co-operative Education placement may be approved by the Department and Faculty. Students seeking this option are advised to discuss this with the Department of Archaeology as early in their program as possible. Upon completion of each work term, the student must present a work term report to the Faculty of Social Sciences Associate Dean (Student Affairs).

The Co-operative Education courses are in addition to the normal requirements for the BA, BA Honours, BSc, or BSc Honours programs in Archaeology. Students must complete the same required courses and number of courses as required for a student completing the traditional BA, BA Honours, BSc, or BSc Honours degree programs.

To graduate with the Co-operative Education designation on their degrees, students in the BA or BSc programs must (a) present a grade point average of at least 2.70 on the courses which they have completed since their admission to the Co-operative Education program and (b) satisfy all the Faculty and Departmental regulations governing Co-operative Education programs. Those in the BA or BSc Honours programs must (a) present a grade point average of at least 3.30 on the courses which they have completed since their admission to the Co-operative Education program and (b) satisfy all the Faculty and Departmental regulations governing Co-operative Education programs.

Sequence

In the Co-operative Education program, students will normally alternate academic sessions and Co-operative Education placements and must be registered full time.

Normally students apply for their first work term in the session immediately following the session in which they were admitted into the Co-operative Education program, and enter their first Co-operative Education work term (Co-operative Education 551.01) at the beginning of the subsequent session. For example, students who submit their admission applications for the September 15 deadline and are subsequently admitted normally begin applying for their first work term in January and commence their first work term in May. The remaining four-month Co-operative Education placements are taken in alternating sequence with the student's remaining academic sessions.

Degrees Offered

BA in Economics

BA Honours in Economics

BA, BA Honours in Economics Co-operative Education

BA in Economics and Society

Minor/Concentration in Applied Energy Economics

The Department of Economics offers instruction in the field of Economics only.

Students are urged to seek departmental advice from faculty advisors in the selection of courses. Many 300-level courses have an Economics 201 and 203 or consent of Department prerequisite. Economics 301, 357, 387, 389, 303 and 359 are important prerequisites for some 400 and 500-level courses, especially those in the Honours program.

The BA in Economics is recommended for students planning careers which require economic analysis.

First Year Admission to Economics

In addition to meeting requirements for admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences (see above), first year applicants should note that all programs offered by the Department of Economics have a fixed number of places for students. For any given program, whenever demand exceeds capacity enrolment will be limited and students will be admitted on a competitive basis.

Admission for Continuing and Transfer Students

In addition to meeting the requirements for admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences, students transferring from other faculties and institutions must meet the competitive admission requirements in place for this program. Students who have already been admitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences but are applying to change their program to Economics must also meet the competitive admission requirements. All applicants should note that all programs offered by the Department of Economics have a fixed number of places for students. Spring and Summer Session courses taken after May 1 in the year of application will not count towards determining admissibility.

Students majoring in Economics must take seven to 10 full-course equivalents in Economics consisting of:

(a) Economics 201 and 203.

(b) Economics 301 and 357.

(c) Economics 303, 359 and 395.

Normally students apply for their first work term in the session immediately following the session in which they were admitted into the Co-operative Education program, and enter their first Co-operative Education work term (Co-operative Education 551.01) at the beginning of the subsequent session. For example, students who submit their admission applications for the September 15 deadline and are subsequently admitted normally begin applying for their first work term in January and commence their first work term in May. The remaining four-month Co-operative Education placements are taken in alternating sequence with the student's remaining academic sessions.

Degrees Offered

BA, BSc in Geography

BA, BSc Honours in Geography

BA, BSc and BA, BSc Honours in Geography Co-operative Education

1. Core Courses:

Indigenous Studies 201, 407

Anthropology 337 or 465

Canadian Studies 311 or History 345

Notes: Anthropology 337 and 465 have prerequisites.

Students who complete Anthropology 337, 465, Canadian Studies 311, or History 345 as part of their core course requirements may not also use these courses to satisfy their Canadian and International Focus requirements (see item 2. below).

2. Three full-course equivalents selected from List A (Canadian Content) and List B (International Content) lists, with the following restrictions:

(a) At least two full-course equivalents must have an international focus or substantial international content as indicated by inclusion on List B (Courses with International Focus)

(b) No more than one and one-half full-course equivalents may be at the 200-level.

(c) At least one and one-half full-course equivalents must be at the 400-level or above.

(d) No more than two full-course equivalents may be taken from any given discipline (e.g., Anthropology, Canadian Studies).

The Faculty of Social Sciences offers an interdisciplinary major in International Relations. The International Relations Major requires careful selection of courses to meet its requirements. The student's course selection must be approved by the Coordinator of the International Relations program. There is no Minor program in International Relations.

First Year Admission

In addition to meeting requirements for admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences, first year applicants should note that the International Relations program has a fixed number of places for students. Whenever demand exceeds capacity, enrolment will be limited and students will be admitted on a competitive basis.

Admission for Continuing and Transfer Students

In addition to meeting the requirements for admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences, students transferring from other faculties and institutions must meet the competitive admission requirements in place for this program. Students who have already been admitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences but are applying to change their program to International Relations must also meet the competitive admission requirements. All applicants should note that the International Relations program has a fixed number of places for students. Spring and Summer Session courses taken after May 1 in the year of application will not count towards determining admissibility.

The International Relations major requires:

A modern language requirement in a language other than English, consisting of two full-course equivalents, of which at least one full-course equivalent must be at the senior level. Students should elect a language of study which will assist them with their research on an understanding of the world. French 235, 237, 335, 337 and Spanish 235, 237 will not be accepted for the language requirement.

One of Political Science 399, Statistics 211, 213, or equivalent.

A minimum of eight full-course equivalents in the major field, including:

(a) The common core of four full-course equivalents composed of Anthropology 203, Economics 201, 203, Geography 205 or 213, History 307, Political Science 381, International Relations 301 and 501. Apart from International Relations 501, the core courses should be taken early in a student's program. International Relations 501 is open to all students after their second year, and after they have completed 301.

(b) The International Relations major requires that students declare a program in two elective clusters, one regional and one thematic. In each declared cluster, students must complete two full course equivalents, of which one full course equivalent from each declared cluster must be at the 400 or 500-level. Students may take International Relations 597 (Independent Study) or existing Departmental independent study courses from their declared clusters, but only one half-course equivalent may be counted towards the Major. Any proposed syllabus for such independent study, whether International Relations 597 or existing departmental independent study courses, must be approved by the Program Director. Students may include Geography 397 (Regional Geography of Selected World Areas) and 592 (Overseas Field Studies in Social and Economic Geography (Area II)) in their regional electives, with the permission of the Program Director, provided that the region(s) covered are relevant to their declared group electives. Questions regarding these requirements may be directed to the Program Director.

Students must select courses from one thematic and one regional cluster. Each of these clusters requires two full-course equivalents.

The thematic clusters reflect major dimensions of orientation to and foci within International Relations. There are three thematic clusters: international political economy; security and strategy; and international institutions and governance. The regional clusters group courses to give students a deeper understanding of contemporary historical, cultural, political, economic and geographical force at work within the principal area of the world.

The elective clusters are as follows:

A. THEMATIC CLUSTERS (at least two full-course equivalents are required from one of the following clusters, including one full course equivalent at the 400-level):

Program Options (BA in Linguistics and BA Honours in Linguistics)

Program options are to be chosen in consultation with departmental advisors. Majors and Honours in Linguistics are encouraged to select their extra-departmental options from other social sciences (especially Anthropology, Archaeology, Psychology and Sociology), Philosophy, Computer Science, and languages.

For undergraduate students, the Department of Linguistics offers a Concentration in Speech-Language Sciences that provides an opportunity for students intending to pursue this career path. See Concentrations below. A graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology is not offered at the University of Calgary. Graduate programs are offered at the University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, Dalhousie University, McGill University, Université de Montréal, Université d'Ottawa, University of Toronto, and University of Western Ontario. Students considering graduate study in Speech Pathology are advised to investigate the entrance requirements of these programs, as these may differ per university.

The Major in Linguistics is designed to provide students with foundational and advanced training in the core and specific focal areas of the discipline. Students can also pursue Concentrations in Applied Linguistics or Speech-Language Sciences. Applied Linguistics is a wide-ranging field involving career paths in a variety of areas including Second Language Teaching, Translation, Native Studies, Language Policy Development and Machine Translation. The Concentration in Speech-Language Sciences is of most interest to students intending to enter graduate school in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology. Students interested in these Concentrations should consult with the Undergraduate Advisor in the Department of Linguistics as soon as possible in their program so that a specific degree (Major/Minor, Double Major) and sequence of courses can be selected in accordance with the student's interests and goals and the requirements of the various programs and courses.

Any student who has declared a Linguistics major is eligible to declare a Concentration in either Applied Linguistics or Speech-language Sciences.

Linguistics Majors who take three full-course equivalents from the following list (of which one and one-half full-course equivalents must be Linguistics courses) will fulfill the requirements of a concentration in Applied Linguistics. Exceptions can be arranged at the discretion of the Undergraduate Advisor.

The Linguistics Co-operative Education program is a five-year program which normally includes 16 months (but may include 20 months with Departmental and Faculty approval) of supervised work experience in various private and governmental agencies.

Students who wish to enter the Linguistics Co-operative Education program are urged to discuss their pre-admission course selection with the Faculty of Social Sciences Associate Dean (Student Affairs) and the Department of Linguistics as early in their program as possible.

Students apply to the Faculty Co-operative Education office by one of three application deadlines: May 15, September 15, or January 15.

Applicants must have declared a Linguistics major and successfully completed at least four full-course equivalents (University of Calgary and transfer courses). In addition, they must have a grade point average of at least 2.70 over the most recent five full-course equivalents (or four full-course equivalents in the case of students who have not yet taken five) for the BA program. For the BA Honours Co-operative Education program, applicants must have a grade point average of at least 3.30 over the most recent five full-course equivalents. All grades within a session will be included except where the number of courses taken within a session exceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximum of) five full-course equivalents, in which case the highest grades will be used.

At the time of their first Co-operative Education placement, students must have successfully completed Linguistics 201 and 203 with a minimum grade of "C." At this time, students must have successfully completed at least eight and normally no more than 14 full-course equivalents appropriate to their degree program. Students are strongly recommended to take Linguistics 311, 313, and 331.

Students should refer to the Co-operative Education section of this Calendar, as well as to "Co-operative Education Program" in the Faculty of Social Sciences regulations section for specific regulations pertaining to Co-operative Education programs.

Students must complete the following four courses (work placements) in addition to the regular requirements for the BA or BA Honours Linguistics degree program: Co-operative Education 551.01, 551.02, 551.03, 551.04. A fifth Co-operative Education placement may be approved by the Department and Faculty. Students seeking this option are advised to discuss this with the Department of Linguistics as early in their program as possible. Upon completion of each work term, the student must present a work term report to the Faculty of Social Sciences Associate Dean (Student Affairs).

The Co-operative Education courses are in addition to the normal requirements for the BA and BA Honours programs in Linguistics. Students must complete the same required courses and number of courses as required for a student completing the traditional BA and BA Honours degree programs.

To graduate with the Co-operative Education designation on their degrees, students in the BA program must (a) present a grade point average of at least 2.70 on the courses which they have completed since their admission to the Co-operative Education program and (b) satisfy all the Faculty and Departmental regulations governing Co-operative Education programs. Those in the BA Honours program must (a) present a grade point average of at least 3.30 on the courses which they have completed since their admission to the Co-operative Education program and (b) satisfy all the Faculty and Departmental regulations governing Co-operative Education programs.

Sequence

In the Co-operative Education program, students will normally alternate academic sessions and Co-operative Education placements and must be registered full time.

Normally students apply for their first work term in the session immediately following the session in which they were admitted into the Co-operative Education program, and enter their first Co-operative Education work term (Co-operative Education 551.01) at the beginning of the subsequent session. For example, students who submit their admission applications for the September 15 deadline and are subsequently admitted normally begin applying for their first work term in January and commence their first work term in May. The remaining four-month Co-operative Education placements are taken in alternating sequence with the student's remaining academic sessions.

Students should consult closely with the Department in their choice of courses. Students normally will be required to complete at least nine full courses in Political Science, including Political Science 500 in their fourth year; Political Science 499 in their third year; and the four core offerings in Political Science (as specified for the BA in Political Science program).

Students must also obtain a grade of "C" or higher in two half courses in a language other than English, or equivalent.

At the end of the fourth year, students will be required to take an oral examination of one hour on the Honours thesis.

The Co-operative Education program is a five-year program which normally includes 16 months (but may include 20 months with Departmental and Faculty approval) of supervised work experience in various private and governmental agencies.

Students who wish to enter the Political Science Co-operative Education program are urged to discuss their pre-admission course selection with the Faculty of Social Sciences Associate Dean (Student Affairs) and the Department of Political Science as early in their program as possible.

Students apply to the Faculty Co-operative Education office by one of three application deadlines: May 15, September 15, or January 15.

Applicants must have declared a Political Science major and successfully completed at least four full-course equivalents (University of Calgary and transfer courses). In addition, they must have a grade point average of at least 2.70 over the most recent five full-course equivalents (or four full-course equivalents in the case of students who have not yet taken five) for the BA program. For the BA Honours Co-operative Education program, applicants must have a grade point average of at least 3.30 over the most recent five full-course equivalents. All grades within a session will be included except where the number of courses taken within a session exceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximum of) five full-course equivalents, in which case the highest grades will be used.

At the time of their first Co-operative Education placement, students must have successfully completed one full-course equivalent in Political Science at the 200-level and Political Science 321. At this time, students must have successfully completed at least eight and normally no more than 14 full-course equivalents appropriate to their degree program. Students are strongly recommended to take Political Science 399.

Students should refer to the Co-operative Education section of this Calendar, as well as to "Co-operative Education Program" in the Faculty of Social Sciences regulations section for specific regulations pertaining to Co-operative Education programs.

Students must complete the following four courses (work placements) in addition to the regular requirements for the BA or BA Honours Political Science degree program: Co-operative Education 551.01, 551.02, 551.03, 551.04. A fifth Co-operative Education placement may be approved by the Department and Faculty. Students seeking this option are advised to discuss this with the Department of Political Science as early in their program as possible. Upon completion of each work term, the student must present a work term report to the Faculty of Social Sciences Associate Dean (Student Affairs).

The Co-operative Education courses are in addition to the normal requirements for the BA and BA Honours programs in Political Science. Students must complete the same required courses and number of courses as required for a student completing the traditional BA and BA Honours degree programs.

To graduate with the Co-operative Education designation on their degrees, students in the BA program must (a) present a grade point average of at least 2.70 on the courses which they have completed since their admission to the Co-operative Education program and (b) satisfy all the Faculty and Departmental regulations governing Co-operative Education programs. Those in the BA Honours program must (a) present a grade point average of at least 3.30 on the courses which they have completed since their admission to the Co-operative Education program and (b) satisfy all the Faculty and Departmental regulations governing Co-operative Education programs.

Sequence

In the Co-operative Education program, students will normally alternate academic sessions and Co-operative Education placements and must be registered full time.

Normally students apply for their first work term in the session immediately following the session in which they were admitted into the Co-operative Education program, and enter their first Co-operative Education work term (Co-operative Education 551.01) at the beginning of the subsequent session. For example, students who submit their admission applications for the September 15 deadline and are subsequently admitted normally begin applying for their first work term in January and commence their first work term in May. The remaining four-month Co-operative Education placements are taken in alternating sequence with the student's remaining academic sessions.

For example, students who submit their admission applications for the September 15 deadline and are subsequently admitted normally begin applying for their first work term in January and commence their first work term in May. The remaining four-month Co-operative Education placements are taken in alternating sequence with the student's remaining academic sessions.

Introduction

Urban Studies is a broad interdisciplinary program designed to provide an integrated understanding of the social, political, economic, cultural, and geographic processes that shape urban life. Cities are sites of great cultural and ethnic diversity, economic innovation, cultural expression, resource consumption, wealth generation, and political conflict and cooperation. Today most developed societies are predominantly urban, even as global processes increasingly shape them. Understanding the processes that shape cities, as well as the ways in which cities shape processes operating at other scales, lies at the heart of Urban Studies. The Urban Studies program provides a strong background for students interested in working in public and private sector fields including urban and regional planning, architecture, environmental design, economic development, city administration, social services and policy, cultural programming, urban politics, and education.

This is a program offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences in collaboration with the Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI). The Department of Economics administers the program. The primary objective of this program is to provide the student with the historical and institutional background and the basic tools necessary for an understanding of the operation of North American and world energy markets. The program includes the development of analytical and problem-solving skills.

Students will benefit from expert instruction by academics at the University and applied researchers at CERI. The courses at the University will focus on the relevant background, theory and tools, while the courses at CERI will provide the opportunity for students to participate actively in a wide range of research projects in applied energy economics. CERI is an internationally respected research institute specializing in all aspects of energy economics with offices in University Research Park, very close to the campus.

It is anticipated that students who graduate with a minor or concentration in applied energy economics will enhance their prospects of securing relevant and rewarding employment in the energy sector. Additional education and training is recommended for those wishing to take full advantage of the career opportunities in applied energy economics. This typically involves the completion of a master's degree. Students contemplating graduate work should consult the Department in the selection of courses.

Applications for admission to the program (either the Minor or Concentration in Applied Energy Economics) can be made to the Faculty of Social Sciences. Prior to applying for admission, students must have completed Economics 201 and 203 and obtained a grade point average of at least 2.70 over the most recent course work to a maximum of five full-course equivalents (University of Calgary courses and/or transferable courses taken at other institutions). All grades within a session will be included except where the number of courses taken within a session exceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximum of) five full-course equivalents, in which case the highest grades will be used. The application deadline is April 1. (A GPA of at least 2.70 must normally be maintained for continuation in the program.) Admission to the program may have to be limited. If applications exceed spaces, students will be admitted in order of descending GPA.

For additional information, see one of the student advisors in the Economics Department. For additional information about programs, the Department and CERI, visit our Website at http://www.econ.ucalgary.ca

There are two options available to students registered in the Applied Energy Economics program. For the non-Economics major there is a Minor in Applied Energy Economics. For the Economics major there is a Concentration in Applied Energy Economics.

Minor in Applied Energy Economics

For the non-Economics major, the minor in applied energy economics requires the completion of five full-course equivalents (FCE) from the following courses:

All Required: Economics 201, 203, 301, 395 and 494.

Any four of: Economics 323, 325, 327, 329, 377, 527 and designated Economics 399, 499 and 599 courses.

Economics 494 will be taught in a workplace environment by CERl staff, with students actively involved in applied research projects.

Concentration in Applied Energy Economics

This is applicable to students who are economics majors (or Honours students in Economics). It requires completion of four full-course equivalents (FCE) from the following courses:

Required: Economics 494, 427, 495,

Any four of: Economics 323, 325, 327, 329, 377, 475, 477, 527 and designated Economics 399, 499 and 599 courses.

All Economics majors are required to take Economics 201, 203, 301, 303, 357, 359 and 395. It is possible for Economics majors to take more than the minimum required courses from the first group indicated above, as credit for these courses will apply to the major degree in Economics. Depending on the choice of courses, Economics majors who take the Concentration in Applied Energy Economics could be required to take at least seven and one-half full-course equivalents in Economics (compared to the minimum of 7.0 full-course equivalents for the Major in Economics).

All other regulations concerning the BA in Economics (and BA Honours in Economics if applicable) must also be satisfied. Students should consult the Department regarding the requirements for a Concentration in Applied Energy Economics, particularly in the case of BA Honours, Co-operative Education, or combined degree programs.

Note: The Applied Energy Economics Concentration will be recorded on the transcript of record.

The minor and concentration in South Asian Studies are offered collaboratively by the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences. Students should contact the Program Director as early as possible for advice on the program. The Program Director will be housed in alternate years between the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences.
