The School of Canadian Studies offers a program of study and research leading
to the degree of Master of Arts in Canadian Studies.
Note: A new doctoral program is offered jointly by the School of Canadian
Studies at Carleton University and the Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Native Studies at Trent University.
commencing September 2000 at Carleton, September 2001 at Trent.
The work of the School is conducted with the assistance of faculty and availability
of course work in a variety of supporting departments including: Architecture,
Art History, Economics, English, Film Studies, French, Geography, History, Journalism
and Communication, Law, Linguistics and Applied Language Studies, Music, Political
Economy, Political Science, Psychology, Public Administration, Religion, Social
Work, Sociology and Anthropology, and Women's Studies.
The Canadian Studies program is interdisciplinary in emphasis. It enables students
in the School to develop individual areas of concentration to meet particular
interests in a broad range of Canadian issues. The proximity of Carleton University
to the National Library, the National Gallery of Canada, the national museums,
the Library of Parliament, the National Archives of Canada, Statistics Canada,
and the libraries of various government de
partments and embassies ensures excellent research facilities for graduate candidates
in Canadian Studies.
With the aid of a grant from the Donner Foundation, the School initiated a
program area of northern and Native studies in 1982. The same conditions and
requirements apply as in other program areas; however, special consideration
may be given to candidates for admission who have extensive knowledge of the
north or of Native peoples, and the language requirement may be met by a demonstrated
knowledge of an Aboriginal language in addition to English or French.
In 1983-84, a women's studies program area was instituted. Both interdisciplinary
and comparative in focus, the program permits students to examine the interplay
within the Canadian context between gender and race, gender and nationality,
gender and class, and sex/gender as a dynamic principle in the process of imperialism,
nation building, and the construction of national and ethnic identities.
Since 1986, the School has offered a program area in Canadian culture and cultural
policy. Students with a broad interest in traditional and popular culture, music,
art, film, literature, and performing arts will find the program's interdisciplinary
approach to cultural theory and practice of great value.
A program area in heritage conservation began in 1989-90. With an interdisciplinary
focus on the Canadian natural and built environment, the program permits the
course of study to be tailored to individual interest and backgrounds. The School
of Architecture, the Department of Leisure Studies at Ottawa University, the
Heritage Canada Foundation, and the Canadian Parks Service at Environment Canada
cooperate in offering the program.
The School also runs an advanced summer program from mid-May to mid-August.
The format includes credit and non-credit courses, seminars, and public events.
Write to the School of Canadian Studies for information about the Summer of
2000 offering.
Qualifying-Year ProgramApplicants who do not qualify for direct admission to the master's program may, in exceptional cases, be admitted to a qualifying-year program. However, admission to the qualifying-year program does not imply automatic admission to the master's program. At the end of the qualifying-year program the student will be required to apply for entry into the master's program, at which time the School will determine the student's eligibility to enter the program.
Master of ArtsAdmission Requirements
Applicants must normally hold an Honours B.A. (or the equivalent), with at least high honours standing, in one of the disciplines represented in the School. Applicants wishing to be considered for financial assistance from Carleton University are advised to submit completed applications to the School by February 1 since enrolment in the School is limited.
Language Requirement
The School requires a reading knowledge of French. This requirement may be satisfied in the following ways:
* Successful completion of a 100-level French course or its equivalent, preferably French 20.106
* Successful completion of a French language examination
* Alternatively, a student may fulfill this requirement with a demonstrated knowledge of an Aboriginal language.
* The School conducts the French language examinations in September and January. Students choosing the first option should note that examination results in these courses form part of their record, although they are additional to the course requirements for the degree.
Program Requirements
The minimum requirements for the master's program are outlined in the General Regulations section of this Calendar (see p.49).
* The School of Canadian Studies specifies that all candidates must select one of the following program patterns:
* 3.0 credits, a thesis, and an oral examination
* 4.0 credits, and a research essay
* 5.0 credits, and a comprehensive examination in two parts: part one based
on 12.501 and part two based on one of 12.511, 12.521, 12.531, 12.532 or 12.541.
Whichever pattern is selected, all students in the master's program are required to take 12.501 and two of the following courses: 12.511, 12.512, 12.521, 12.522, 12.531, 12.532, 12.541, 12.542, 12.551, 12.561.
Comprehensive Examinations
A committee will be assigned on entrance to each candidate choosing the 5.0 credit course option to advise and assist in the preparation for the comprehensive examination. The comprehensive examination will normally be written but may, with the approval of the graduate supervisor, be oral. The comprehensive examination will normally be undertaken in the academic year in which the student completes 12.501, but, with the approval of the graduate supervisor, may be undertaken at a later point in the student's program.
Thesis/Research Essay Proposal
Students are required to file with the School a detailed proposal of their thesis or research essay project no later than the end of the second term of registration for students enrolled full-time, and no later than the end of the fifth term of registration for students enrolled part-time. Students failing to file a proposal may not be permitted to register in subsequent terms until this requirement has been met. Approval of proposals shall be the responsibility of the student's intended thesis/research essay supervisor, the graduate supervisor of the School, and the program area coordinator.
