7.0 COURSE NUMBERING AND CREDIT VALUES

Each course is identified by a four-digit number, and carries a certain credit value.

The first digit indicates the year in which the course is normally taken.

The second digit sometimes indicates a stream or category of courses within one department.

The third digits specify a particular course within the department.

The fourth digit indicates the credit value of the course. A 6 credit course extends through both terms and has a fourth digit of zero; a 3 credit course usually lasts one term only and has a fourth digit of one. A few 3 credit courses last through the entire year and have a fourth digit of three. One credit Music Ensemble courses have a fourth digit of nine and last throughout both terms.

Requirements for degree programmes are stated in terms of such course numbers and their accumulated credit values. Typically, a degree requires a minimum 120 credits, earned by passing some combination of 6 credit (two term) and 3 credit (one term) courses. A typical Major requires 60 credits; a typical Minor requires 24 credits.

In any one year, it is only the University Timetable which specifies which courses are actually being taught that year, and in which terms. The listing of a course in the calendar is not a guarantee that the course is offered every year.

7.1 GENERAL REGULATIONS

7.1.1 B.A. and B.Sc. Degree Requirements

The Bachelor of Arts ( B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degrees achieve a balance of breadth, depth and coherence by including these four features in each student's academic programme:

1. The Bachelor's degree requires the completion of 120 credits worth of course work.
2. Six credits (the equivalent of a full-year course) must be earned in each of the four distribution areas: Arts and Letters, Humanities, Social Science and Science. (see 7.2.2 and 7.3.2)
3. A specified minimum number of credits earned at an advanced level must be included. (see 7.2.3 and 7.3.5)
4. One of the following must be completed: a Major plus a Minor; a Double Major; a General degree of three Minors; or the most specialized degree; an Honours programme. It is also possible for students to design a programme of their own. (See Regulations 7.2.12, 7.2.17, 7.3.15 and 7.3.20.)

7.1.2 Declaration of Programme

B.A. and B.Sc. students, in consultation with the designated Programme Advisor, must formally declare a Major Area of Study and a Minor by the end of their second year. Those opting to do a Double Major or Triple Minor must, in consultation with the designated Programme Advisor, declare their intention by the end of their second year. Students can change their choice of programme after further consultation with a Programme Advisor. A 'Declaration/Change of Major/Minor' form is available on the web at http://www.mta.ca/administration/sas/form.htm

Those opting to do an Honours Programme must declare their intention by December of year three by completing a 'Declaration of Intention to Pursue Honours' form available on the web at http://www.mta.ca/administration/sas/form.htm.

No more than 9 credits can be counted in common between the Major and Minor. Where there are more than 9 credits of requirements in common, the credit value of the combined programme will still be at least 15 credits greater than the total for the Major. The Major Area of Study and Minor are recorded on the student's transcript.

Although the combination of a Major and a Minor as called for in 7.2.4 is the usual means of achieving a B.A. degree, other combinations are possible, as outlined in 7.2.5 through 7.2.8.

7.2.5 Additional Minor

Students who satisfy the requirements for more than one Minor will have the additional Minor(s) recorded on their transcript.

7.2.6 Double Major

Students who (in lieu of the Minor required in 7.2.4) satisfy the requirements for a second Major Area of Study from any other programme [see lists under 7.2.13 and 7.3.16], will have achieved a B.A. with a Double Major, and will have both Majors recorded on their transcript. No more than 24 credits can be counted in common between the two Majors. Even where there are requirements in common, the credit value of the combined programme will be at least 36 credits greater than the total for the first Major.

The Major Area of Study is designed to be approximately one half the course work a student completes toward a B.A. degree, providing the depth and rigour which can be achieved either by work within one discipline or through course work carefully planned under a theme. As called for in 7.2.4, this requirement can be satisfied by completing the courses specified in any one of the named Major Areas of Study listed in 7.2.13, according to one of the options outlined in 7.2.10 through 7.2.12.

7.2.10 Disciplinary Major Area of Study

A Disciplinary Major Area of Study consists of a selection of courses worth 60 credits, with a minimum of 36 and a maximum of 42 credits required from a single discipline or department. This type of Major gains its coherence from the traditional discipline from which it is drawn. Provision is made within each Major Area of Study for 18 credits, usually drawn from outside the Major discipline, intended to complement and enrich the Major.

7.2.11 Interdisciplinary Major Area of Study

An Interdisciplinary Major Area of Study consists of a selection of courses worth 60 credits, in most cases. This type of Major gains its coherence from a theme, or approach held in common by its component courses. Such programmes are authorized in advance by Senate.

7.2.12 Specially Approved Major Area of Study

A Specially Approved Major Area of Study consists of a selection of courses worth 60 credits. This type of Major gains its coherence from a carefully thought-out combination of available courses which has not received prior authorization from Senate. Approval for this type of Major must be obtained from the appropriate Dean, in consultation with the Registrar, by the end of the third year.

7.2.13 Major Areas of Study Available for the B.A.

For the B.A., the following Major Areas of Study are available. For a complete list of courses required for each Major, see the appropriate heading under Programmes and Courses of Instruction.

7.2.19 Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Honours Programmes

Honours programmes represent the most specialized selection of courses to gain depth and coherence within one discipline or thematic area. They have traditionally provided the preparation most appropriate for post-graduate work in that field. The requirements for Honours extend beyond that of the Major, and so the regulation requiring a Minor is waived (see 7.2.4 and 7.2.7), although any student who completes a Minor from another discipline or programme, will have this Minor recorded on his or her transcript. Academic regulation 6.8 governing the granting of Honours should be consulted. Students considering an Honours Programme should consult as early as possible with the designated Programme Advisor regarding the prescribed selection of courses.

7.2.20 Honours Programmes Available for the B.A.

Under the B.A. Degree, the following Honours Programmes are available. Each assumes that the student also meets the requirements of 7.2.2 and 7.2.3. For a complete listing of courses required for each Honours Programme, see the appropriate heading under Programmes and Courses of Instruction.

7.4 MASTER OF SCIENCE

Graduate work is approved for the Departments of Biology and Chemistry.

7.4.1 Committee on Graduate Studies

All graduate work is under the general supervision of the Committee on Graduate Studies. Upon receiving recommendations from the Department concerned, the Committee will decide upon admission, programme of study, and on receipt of satisfactory evidence of the completion of the studies, will recommend concerning the award of the degree.

7.4.2 Minimum Admission Requirements

1. An Honours Bachelor's degree in the intended field of study or its equivalent from a University of recognized standing (mature students will be given special consideration); and
2. Two letters of reference.

In situations where the candidate is close to fulfilling requirement (a), the Committee may admit the student to a qualifying year. In this case, the Department concerned will be asked by the Committee to suggest a course of study that will fulfil requirement (a) and that will build sufficient strength of background to carry on work at the graduate level. A passing grade must be obtained in each of these courses as well as a minimum overall Cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.0. Students completing qualifying courses will register as special students and are not graduate students while pursuing these studies. They will be admitted to graduate studies when the committee decides that the qualifying conditions have been fulfilled.

7.4.3 Time Required

The minimum time required to complete graduate studies is one full year (two years is the normal situation). The programme of study must be completed within five years.

7.4.4 Course and Thesis Requirements

A research programme, a thesis based on this research, and at least four 3 credit graduate courses must be completed by all candidates. The format of the written thesis will follow the rules for the Honours thesis. Copies of the thesis must be made available to the members of the candidate's Supervisory Committee three weeks prior to public presentation.

7.4.5 Standards of Achievement

The candidate must achieve a grade of at least B- in each course required for the degree, and also must pass a public oral examination on the thesis and related material.

7.4.6 Supervisory Committee

A committee of three will be appointed for each candidate by the Committee on Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the research supervisor who will be its chairman, a teaching member of the department concerned, and a qualified person from outside that department. It will be the responsibility of this committee to review periodically the progress of the candidate, read the thesis and conduct the oral examination which will be presided over by the Chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies. A grade of "Pass" or "Fail" will be assessed for the thesis and its defence by the candidate's committee. (The Chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies has no vote in this decision). If a "Fail" evaluation is rendered, the supervisory committee will decide if and what remedial measure must be undertaken to obtain a "Pass" grade. The candidate will have one year to meet these conditions.

7.4.7 Special Departmental Regulations

In addition to the above regulations, each department may have special requirements as to language, necessary qualifying or complementary courses, etc. Information about such matters may be obtained from the heads of departments or may appear elsewhere in the Calendar under the departmental list of courses.

7.4.8 Application Procedure

Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, a set of official transcripts, and arrange to have two letters of reference forwarded to the Chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies. It is recommended that applicants also contact individual faculty members about the possibility of carrying on advanced study and research with them.

7.5 BACHELOR OF COMMERCE

7.5.1 Primary Objective

The primary objective of the Mount Allison University Commerce programme is to explore with students the nature of the business world, and thus help them acquire administrative knowledge and skills. The studies focus on the process of effective problem solving and decision making in the business environment through the development of management systems which combine quantitative analysis and human judgement.

7.5.2 Majors

There are several Majors open to students entering Commerce. Students may choose to major in Accounting, Marketing, Economics, Computing Information Systems, or in other approved disciplines (i.e., French, History, Chemistry, Political Science, etc.). The latter option is unique to Mount Allison and students are urged to give it very serious consideration. Students may wish to complete a B.Comm. without major. All majors are wide in scope and demanding in content. The Commerce programme is designed to enable students to study in depth a major subject area and, through elective courses from other programmes, to pursue interests which might not be immediately applicable to the study of business administration.

7.5.3 Honours Programme

Honours programmes for the Commerce degree are available in Accounting and Marketing. The requirements for Honours in Commerce in these disciplines are outlined at the beginning of the Commerce course description section. Students in Commerce also have the option of completing Honours in a discipline other than Accounting or Marketing. Those interested in Honours in other disciplines should contact the appropriate department.

7.5.4 Transferring to Commerce

Students applying for transfer into the Bachelor of Commerce programme must do so by APRIL 15 of their second year of study. Exceptions must be approved by the Head of the Commerce Department. To be eligible to transfer to the Bachelor of Commerce, students must meet the following two criteria:

7.6 BACHELOR OF MUSIC

The Department of Music offers instruction leading to both the Bachelor of Music degree (B.Mus.) and the Bachelor of Arts in Music. The former is professionally oriented, whereas the latter ( B.A. Major or Honours in Music) is designed for the student with a more general interest in music. A Minor in Music is available to students in any program. The Bachelor of Music degree is offered without designated majors, and allows the student considerable latitude to put emphasis on any of the subject areas: Music Theory and Composition; Music History and Literature; Music Education and Performance. The programme requires 57 core credits in Music, and 63 elective credits divided between Music and non-Music courses. It is designed to develop well-rounded musicians in practical, theoretical, and historical areas, as well as to provide a sound education in the liberal arts. This versatility of approach is in keeping with the wide-ranging demands which are placed on the musician of today.

7.6.1 Financial Assistance

Students applying for studies in Music are eligible for University general entrance scholarships in addition to those specifically established for students in Music. For detailed information, refer to Section 5 Financial Assistance.

7.6.2 Entrance Requirements for the Bachelor of Music Degree

1. Each prospective student must meet the general admission requirements of Mount Allison.
2. In addition, all prospective Music majors (B.Mus.) must appear for an audition-interview as part of the application for admission. Each B.Mus. applicant should be prepared to play four pieces from different style periods of Music. Vocalists and instrumentalists may either provide their own accompanist or have one provided by the University for a nominal fee. In addition, each applicant will be asked to write a one-hour placement test in Music Theory. This test is designed to reflect the applicant's background and perception in aural and written skills, and will determine placement for Bachelor of Music and B.A. (Honours, Major or Minor) students in either Music 1001 or 1101. Music 1001/1011 cannot be used to fulfill the requirements for the Bachelor of Music Degree, or the Honours, Major, or Minor in Music. If the applicant cannot arrange to come to Sackville for a personal audition, an audition tape may be sent directly to the Department of Music, and a Theory Placement Test will be sent upon request to the applicant's teacher to be administered by him or her.
3. Prospective students should write to the Department of Music for information about audition dates.

7.6.3 Degree Requirements for Bachelor of Music Degree

The Bachelor of Music degree programme requires four years of University work after completion of high school. In order to qualify for the B.Mus. degree, a student must complete 120 credits, of which:

1. 57 are the required core
2. 30 to 33 are Music electives and
3. 30 to 33 are non-Music electives.
4. All B.Mus. and B.A. Honours/Major students must participate in a major ensemble during three of their four academic years of study. Students in these programmes may also complete up to three additional ensemble credits, for a maximum of six on their degree. Students in all other degree programmes are eligible to complete up to six credits on their degree through ensemble participation. Major ensembles include 1621 - 4621 Chamber Orchestra; 1631 - 4631 Symphonic Band; 1651 - 4651 Chamber Choir; 1661 - 4661 Choral Society. Other ensembles are 1641 - 4641 Instrumental Jazz Ensemble; 2671 - 4671 Opera Workshop; 1681 - 4681 Large Ensemble of Like Instruments; 1691 - 4691 Vocal Jazz Ensemble. Attendance and prompt arrival at all ensemble rehearsals and participation in all public performances are mandatory unless prior consent of the director of the ensemble has been obtained. Absenteeism, tardiness and preparedness for and active participation in rehearsals and performances are principle factors in the determination of the mark that the student will receive. The details of the application of this policy will be provided by ensemble directors at the beginning of each academic year. The Department of Music reserves the right to assign students to an ensemble programme. Consideration will include both the needs of the student and the requirements of the ensemble programme.

7.7 BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS

The Department of Fine Arts, located in the Gairdner Fine Arts Building, offers a unique opportunity for professional training in the Fine Arts in conjunction with all the benefits of a university campus. These include the stimulus of a broad intellectual environment, the facilities of a good library and a balanced programme of social activities.

7.7.1 The Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree

The curriculum in Fine Arts leading to the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts is primarily intended to develop creative ability in drawing, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture. The major part of the programme consists of studio work under individual supervision, and includes instruction in the principles of design and the use of various media. In addition to the studio classes, attention is given to the artist's heritage through illustrated lectures and seminar courses in art history which are designed to improve the student's artistic judgement and assist in acquiring an ability to write and speak about works of art. Academic electives, which are chosen in consultation with the Fine Arts Department, are taken in other departments of the University. They are included in the curriculum with the aim of widening the student's understanding of the world, in the belief that the artist's domain pertains to all aspects of human endeavour.

7.7.2 Additional Admission Requirements

Each prospective student must meet the regular admission requirements of the University. While the course is designed so that it assumes no previous training on the part of the new student, applicants must give evidence of their suitability for work in this specialized field. Applicants are required to present a portfolio of their previous art work for assessment prior to admission to this programme. Instructions for the submission of this portfolio will be sent to all applicants for admission to the programme. All portfolios are reviewed each year in early April and late portfolios cannot be considered. Only a limited number of students can be accepted to the programme.

7.7.3 Advanced Status

A student may be admitted to the second year of the programme provided full entrance requirements are met and if the applicant presents evidence of having satisfactorily completed work, academic and artistic, equivalent to the prescribed work of the first year.
