Visual Arts offers practice-based degree programs at master’s and doctoral levels, as well as participating in a joint program with the Schulich School of Business. Students can obtain their Master of Fine Arts in combination with a Master of Business Administration degree. Please see the Combined MBA/MFA/MA section of this Calendar for more information.

At the core of the MFA program in Visual Arts, individual creative research and art production is developed in conjunction with an evolving understanding of theoretical discourses and debates surrounding contemporary art and culture. Central to the program is independent studio research, which can be carried out in any medium or a crossover of more than one. Set within a university context, the MFA in Visual Arts is a five term program that seeks to provide students with the ability to think rigorously about their art practice and its relation to society as a whole. Along with Visual Arts faculty members, other 91��ɫ faculty members, guest artists, curators and critics also support the development of students’ projects.

The primary objective of the PhD in Visual Arts is to provide opportunity for advanced independent research that is integrated within the development of original studio practice, in all visual arts media. This four year degree leads to both development as a professional artist and higher qualifications for university teaching positions. Participants in the program develop new methodologies for reconciling the two sometimes conflicting forces of scholarly depth and art world professionalism. These objectives are achieved through a combination of coursework in the Visual Arts program and in the university at large, and two exhibitions of original work accompanied by contextualizing papers. Students must demonstrate maturity in research as recognized by the academic sector as well as by their peers in the art community. Supervisory committees in the program include artists, scholars and art world professionals so as to foster the best intellectual environment for meeting the program’s objectives.

Admission Requirements

MFA

PhD

Total MFA graduate enrolment is 18 to 20 students, 8 to 10 of whom are admitted each year. Those admitted to the program are a combination of recent graduates from university art departments or art colleges, and artists who wish to return to an academic milieu after a period of professional life. Graduates with an Honours degree in Visual Arts or its equivalent from a recognized University, normally with at least a B (second class) standing, may be considered for admission. Artists lacking the formal academic qualifications, but showing exceptional promise and accomplishment through their portfolio presentation, may be recommended for admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the discretion of the selection committee.

As the 91��ɫ MFA program in Visual Arts is designed to assist artists in developing a critical understanding of their work and its relation
to contemporary culture, the selection committee is interested in applications that indicate thoughtful and well-defined personal direction as evident in both the portfolio and the written statement.

Application

The requirements for a complete application, submitted online, to the MFA Visual Arts program at 91��ɫ are:
1) 20 images of recent work, with an information sheet corresponding to the works presented which gives the title, medium, size and date of each work. This sheet should also clarify whether/how the works are kinetic, installation, performative, computational, etc.
Video, film and electronic media may require a written synopsis for long works, and the role of the applicant in the production should be clear.
2) A written statement of intent (maximum 500 words) that includes a final paragraph on the applicant’s proposed studio research if
admitted to the program. This statement is a significant aspect of the application since applicants need to be able to express themselves in a coherent written form, and demonstrate an interest in contextualizing their personal research within contemporary critical debates on art.
3) Curriculum vitae.
4) Two academic letters of recommendation.
5) Academic transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended.

Selection Procedure

The applicant’s work and other documents are examined by two faculty members and one graduate student representing the studio area of the applicant’s primary choice. Frequently, additional faculty members from other studio areas examine the file at this stage. The files of those applicants with the highest recommendations are passed on for approval to the graduate executive (comprised of at least three faculty members, one elected graduate student and the Graduate Program Director of Visual Arts). The Graduate Program Director recommends admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

A Master of Fine Arts with a minimum “B” average is required for application to this program, or an MA with studio concentration, as well as presentation of a portfolio of works and a qualifying research paper (MFA thesis paper or comparable peer-reviewed article). Selection committees to adjudicate the submissions are comprised of graduate faculty members.

Proficiency in written and spoken English is required.

The PhD in Visual Arts is a program of professionalization for advancing artists who already have a significant body of work. This term refers to their level of interest in and commitment to the development of research methods for exploring questions related to their practice. We are treating the visual arts as a broad field of study and practice that has various specializations within it. Students in the PhD program identify the specializations most pertinent to their work.

Degree Requirements

MFA

PhD

MFA

All first year students must successfully complete three three-credit courses in contemporary theory and criticism: Visual Arts 5600 3.0: Contemporary Theory in the Visual Arts in term one and Visual Arts 5610 3.0: Theoretical Issues in Contemporary Art in term two, and Visual Arts 6020 3.0: Contemporary Visual Arts Summer Institute in term three.

All first and second year students must complete: a combined PhD/MFA Graduate Seminar: Visual Arts 5620/5640 3.0 (the seminar
is taken twice, as 5620 3.0 in term one and 5640 3.0 in term four, pass/fail); and Visual Arts 5650 3.0: Methods in Practice-Based
Research in term two.

First year MFA students are assigned a two-person supervisory committee composed of two faculty members from the program. In the second year, MFA students in Visual Arts engage in independent studio research and work with a supervisory committee composed of two faculty members from the program who are most able to address the students’ research needs and goals, as well as an outside member. This second year committee supervises the preparation of the thesis exhibition and thesis support paper and acts as part of the committee for the final oral examination.

Students are given a private studio at 91��ɫ during the five terms of the degree.

To graduate, each student must present a final solo thesis exhibition or performance, which is supported and elaborated by a written paper. The written paper should be 20 to 50 pages in length. At a final oral examination, both the art work and the written statement are defended.

Once the oral is passed, the student is required to provide the graduate program with a copy of the written support paper.

The MFA program can be completed on a full-time basis. Entry is fall term.

The expected degree completion time for full-time master’s students is 5 terms. Students must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of 5 terms of full-time study. All requirements for a master’s degree must be fulfilled within 12 terms (4 years) of registration as a full-time or part-time master’s student in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies’ registration policies.

PhD

Candidates for the PhD degree must successfully complete the following requirements:

3.5 graduate courses (21 credits) to satisfy degree requirements.
A combined PhD/MFA seminar is taken during the first term (three credits pass/fail), Visual Arts 5620 3.0: Graduate Seminar. Students take Visual Arts 5650 3.0: Methods in Practice-based Research in the second term (three credits). Students are required to enroll in Visual Arts 6020 3.0: Contemporary Visual Arts Summer Institute in term three (three credits) and Visual Arts 6030 3.0: Contemporary Visual Arts Summer Institute in term six (three credits). 1.5 additional graduate courses are taken during the first six terms from any program in the university including other fine arts graduate programs (9 credits).

The annual Contemporary Visual Arts Summer Institute is a key facet of the program. It includes a two-week residency with prominent international artists and theorists, drawing on the Toronto and international art communities for distinguished guests to give public lectures and hold seminars. In this way, the PhD in Visual Arts program acts as a catalyst for the interplay between professional research and the innovative activities of professionals. It forms a network of professional relationships between Canadian and international researchers operating within and beyond fine arts university communities. Written work is required from students and comprises course credit for the Summer Institute.

In addition to the courses, the program requires: an oral comprehensive examination during the fifth term, a dissertation proposal submitted no later than the end of sixth term and a final dissertation exhibition and written paper completed preferably by the eleventh term (second term of PhD IV).

The oral comprehensive examination is comprised of a self-curated survey exhibition of the candidate’s previous work and a 20 page statement that positions the work in relation to contemporary theoretical considerations and art practices. The examination takes place at the exhibition venue. Questions relate both to the candidate’s work/statement and those of a more general nature arising from the Summer Institute. It is expected that this examination enables the student to reflect on the nature of their past work and to formulate the direction of their upcoming work that is detailed in their dissertation proposal.

The dissertation proposal is normally approximately fifteen pages in length as well as a bibliography. It outlines the nature of the proposed studio work; the theoretical /critical areas that inform it through a survey and précis of the pertinent texts; describes how these ideas integrate with the studio work; proposes a series of research questions that are examined in the final thesis; and confirms the venue for the upcoming dissertation exhibition.

Students must complete an individualized exhibition-based comprehensive examination. They must defend a dissertation that presents their research in the form of a significant solo exhibition, accompanied by a dissertation research support paper related to the exhibition.

To enable each student to assume the program of work from the time of their entry, a pro-tem supervisor is determined in relation to the research interests as well as the media focus that are expressed in the candidate’s application. The pro-tem supervisor guides the student in the formation of the supervisory committee. Each student is required to choose a two-person committee by the end of the second term, consisting of a supervisor and a second member who are both from the PhD program. A third committee member from the art world community, i.e., a curator, artist, or critic is selected by the end of the fifth term (second term of PhD II). They are a member of the oral comprehensive examination committee and continue as a member of the supervisory committee for the final two years of the program of study.

In years two to four of study, each candidate is given a private studio at 91��ɫ. In the first year, candidates are provided with office space. In addition, candidates with the necessary experience/training, have full access to all Department of Visual Art and Art History studio facilities (e.g., sculpture, print, photo, video) during their time in the PhD program. Students whose program of study extends beyond spring of PhD IV (term 11) are required to maintain an independent studio space off campus.

The PhD program can be completed on a full-time basis. Entry is fall term.

The PhD in Visual Arts is normally completed in a maximum of four years. Doctor of Philosophy students must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of six terms of full-time registration. All requirements for a doctoral degree must be fulfilled within 12 terms (4 years) of registration as a full-time or part-time doctoral student in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies’ registration policies.

The Graduate Program in Translation Studies offers courses and opportunities for advanced studies leading to the degree of Master of Arts in Translation Studies. It allows students to expand their knowledge on specific translation-related areas and to engage in a critical reflection on the role of language and translation in our contemporary world. The graduate program was established in 1991, in response to the increasing complexity of the translation-related language sector in Canada and to the growth of translation studies as a scholarly field. Through the years the program has maintained its original objectives while broadening its scope. Building on the Canadian experience of French-English translation, the program also welcomes students with a variety of backgrounds and language combinations. It is open to students who hold undergraduate translation degrees and to applicants from other fields who have demonstrated translation training and experience. The Graduate Program in Translation Studies invites research on translation from various perspectives and fields of knowledge and practice. It prepares students for research in Translation Studies and offers on average two practical courses per year.

The program can be undertaken on a part-time or full-time basis. For full-time students, it is a two-year program. Courses are offered at Glendon College, 91��ɫ’s bilingual Faculty, close to Toronto city centre. Seminars are offered in English or in French. The average number of students taking courses at Glendon is 2,000 with some 200 at the School of Translation, including an average of 50 students in the MA program. Such small numbers are a guarantee of a more individualized learning environment, which is very valuable for research and studies at a higher level.

PhD

Normally completed in a maximum of five years, the PhD in Theatre & Performance Studies requires completion of the following:

Students must successfully complete 18 credits in coursework, normally within the first two years (six terms) of study, as follows:

a research methodology course of at least three credits from a list of possible options provided by the program (these change each year);
a minimum of two courses (six credits), one of which must be a Canadian course with “theatre” in its title and the other of which must be a Theatre & Performance Studies course that aligns with program’s fields; and,
remaining coursework chosen from graduate-level Theatre & Performance Studies courses or approved graduate-level cognate courses.

Students are required to attend a bi-weekly non-credit colloquium during the first two terms of study. At the colloquium, research approaches are discussed, guest speakers from across the program and the university are brought in, and in-process presentations of each graduate student’s research work is shared. Students are evaluated on a pass/fail basis.

PhD students entering the program who have not had extensive professional work in theatre and/or a related area may be required to set up a working professional placement of at least 75 hours as part of Theatre & Performance Studies 5051 3.0 (students are evaluated on a case-by-case basis upon entering the program). This course is designed to give graduate students applied, professionally-oriented work experience in a field related to one of the program’s fields of specialization and/or the student’s research areas (e.g., production dramaturgy, assistant directing, education and outreach, publicity and marketing, producing). The assignment is supervised by a member of the graduate theatre studies faculty (often the Graduate Program Director) in association with an on-site supervisor/mentor. The arrangement for a placement is normally initiated by the student who first presents a written outline of the placement proposal to the Graduate Program Director for approval. After approval is obtained the student should contact the institution to set up their schedule. The exact nature of the assignment is worked out and agreed upon by the team of student, faculty advisor and on-site supervisor.

The average number of working hours for a three credit placement is 75-90 hours and there is normally no remuneration involved.

Taken in the Summer term of the second year of graduate study, this examination is intended to ensure students’ familiarity with and ability to identify core ideas in the texts and identify key debates in the fields of theatre and performance studies. It also aims to test knowledge of a student’s chosen research and teaching areas to verify sufficient grounding in scholarship relevant to a student’s area of research, particularly the dissertation topic.

The examination consists of three sections, each based on a list of thirty texts for a total of ninety. List One, the “Theatre & Performance Studies Field List,” is a set list of texts (dramatic and performance theory; theatre and performance history and historiography, dramatic literature, performance texts, etc.) designed to assess the candidate’s overall command of several key theories, controversies, and debates in the field with the goal of equipping students to teach in theatre and performance programs. The second list, the “Dissertation Research Area – General List,” reflects the broader area in theatre and performance studies in which the dissertation is situated (e.g., Canadian theatre, performance theory, actor training methods, performance art, postcolonial theatre, physical and devised theatre). Each text speaks to the relationship between the student’s specialized interest and the broad field of theatre and performance studies. The student chooses the 30 texts on this list in consultation with the comprehensive examination committee. The final list, the “Dissertation Research area – Specific List,” is specifically related to the dissertation and may be outside of theatre and performance studies (e.g., site-specific performance, feminist and queer theory, cultural geography, arts and cultural policy, autobiographical theory). The texts on this list directly inform the dissertation. The list of materials is chosen by students in consultation with the supervisory committee and submitted to the Graduate Program Director for approval.

The comprehensive examination is comprised of a take-home examination, normally taken during the summer term of the second year of doctoral study. Students have two weeks to write three 12-15 page responses to three essay questions. Questions are developed with input from students, who propose three possible questions for each list, for a total of nine questions. The questions are a starting point for the examination committee, who revise and adapt them in consultation with students. At the time of the examination the committee chooses one question per list for the examination; students learn which questions have been chosen at the start of the examination.

Upon successful completion of the written examination, the student is asked to meet for an oral examination approximately one week after the results have been transmitted. The committee meets with the student for approximately 90 minutes, during which students is expected to answer follow-up questions arising from the written examination as well as other questions the committee deems appropriate.

No more than three months after the successful completion of the comprehensive examination, students are required to submit a dissertation proposal, following the program’s dissertation proposal guidelines to the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

Combined Juris Doctor (JD) / Master of Arts in Philosophy

The joint Juris Doctor/Master of Arts in Philosophy program, offered by Osgoode Hall Law School and the Graduate Program in Philosophy, provides students with the opportunity to develop skills and acquire knowledge at the many intersections of law and philosophy. It is the only program of its kind in Canada, and draws on Osgoode’s existing strength in legal theory and Philosophy’s recognized strength in moral, political, and legal philosophy. The program is ideal for students who wish to pursue either further postgraduate study and ultimately an academic career, or opportunities in a variety of careers in legal practice.

Admission Requirements

Students must apply, meet the admission requirements, and be admitted separately to both the JD and MA programs, indicating their interest in the dual program.

Students normally apply to both programs in the same year, before starting either program. Alternatively, students registered and enrolled in the JD program may apply to the combined program in the first year of JD studies, by applying and being admitted to the Graduate Program in Philosophy. This second option is possible only during the first year of JD studies and in accordance with the admission deadlines for the master’s in Philosophy.

Graduate Diploma in Value Theory & Applied Ethics

This program of study allows students to deepen their knowledge and skill of value theory and its application to real ethical problems.
To enter this program, students must first be admitted to a regular graduate program. The diploma is awarded concurrently with the master’s or doctoral degree for which the student is registered. For more information, including all diploma requirements, please contact the Graduate Program Assistant.

Program Entry

The MA program can be completed on a full- or part-time basis. Entry is fall term.

Program Length

Full-time master’s candidates are expected to complete degree requirements within twelve months (3 terms). Part-time master’s candidates are expected to complete degree requirements within twenty-four months (6 terms). For those students who complete degree requirements earlier than 3 terms, they must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of 3 terms of full-time study. All requirements for a master’s degree must be fulfilled within 12 terms (4 years) of registration as a full-time or part-time master’s student in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies’ registration policies.

Doctor of Philosophy Program

PhD candidates must successfully complete the following:

Course Requirements

Complete Philosophy 6800 6.0: First-Year Seminar and Philosophy 6850 6.0: PhD Research Seminar, plus another six half courses (or the equivalent), with no more than one full course equivalent a reading course and no more than one full course equivalent integrated with an undergraduate course. Philosophy 6800 6.0 must be taken in Year 1. The six half courses must normally be completed by the end of Year 2, and Philosophy 6850 6.0 by the end of Year 3, in order to remain in good standing in the program.

With the permission of the Graduate Program Director, students may take one half graduate course outside the program, either at 91��ɫ or elsewhere, and count it towards these course requirements.

Breadth Requirements

History Requirement
Include, among their courses, at least two half courses each of which focuses in depth on a single significant problem or philosopher, and covers different periods in the history of philosophy. Students who have taken such courses during their MA may place out of all or part of this requirement.

Area Requirement
Include, among their courses, at least two half courses in metaphysics and/or epistemology (understood as including philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science), and at least two half courses in ethics, political, social and/or legal philosophy.

Logical Requirement

Normally, by the end of the second year students must demonstrate to the logic examination committee a mastery of the semantic and syntactic elements of sentential and first-order predicate logic. This includes understanding validity, logical truth, and natural deduction derivations for both sentential and predicate logic. Mastery may be demonstrated by passing an exam in logic that is set by the logic examination committee, or by passing a graduate level course in logic, normally Philosophy 5460 3.0: Philosophical Logic, that assumes an introductory logic course as background. Students who fail to fulfill the logic requirement by the end of the second year will be withdrawn from the program.

Paper Examination

Submit two papers by the end of the first term of Year 3, to be examined by three anonymous examiners in the program. To pass the examination, at least two of the three examiners must pass both papers. A one-time-only option of revising and resubmitting both papers is available. Students must resubmit within 6 weeks of the original decision. The papers, which may be based upon previous term papers, will demonstrate the skills that are needed to successfully pursue advanced doctoral research. As they are to be written with a view to the norms and expectations of professional philosophical venues, such as peer-reviewed philosophy journals, they should include a carefully reasoned defence of a philosophical position, as well as demonstrate originality. One paper will be in the student’s primary area of research, and the other paper will be in a closely related (but not identical) area. The papers will normally be no more than 30 pages long, double spaced. Students who do not pass this exam after the second submission will be withdrawn from the program.

Dissertation Proposal

Submit a suitable dissertation proposal acceptable to the supervisory committee.

Proposal Defence and Literature Examination

Successfully defend the dissertation proposal and pass an oral examination on literature relevant to the dissertation topic. The list of literature will be compiled jointly by the supervisor and the student after the supervisory relationship is formed and before the proposal is written. The examiners will consist of the student’s supervisory committee plus one outside examiner from the program.

This requirement must be met by the end of PhD 3 in order to remain in good standing in the program.

Dissertation

Write an acceptable dissertation embodying original research and defend it at an oral examination. It is recommended that candidates whose field of study necessitates a reading knowledge of a language other than English acquire sufficient knowledge of that language. Candidates may be asked to demonstrate their proficiency to the examining committee.

Program Entry

The PhD program can be completed on a full- or part-time basis. Entry is fall term.

Program Length

Combined Juris Doctor (JD) / Master of Arts in Philosophy

Students admitted to the combined program are expected to complete all requirements within four years of full-time study, including at least three terms registered as a full-time graduate student.

Coursework

In the first year, students are registered in law and must successfully complete the following mandatory courses, in the first term:
Ethical Lawyering in a Global Community; Legal Process I; State and Citizen: Canadian Public and Constitutional Law; Torts; Contracts; and Criminal Law;
and in the second term:
Ethical Lawyering in a Global Community; Legal Process II; State and Citizen: Canadian Public and Constitutional Law; and Property Law and, the following elective course, in the second term: Perspective Option (from among options offered by Osgoode).

In the third and fourth years, in addition to completing a major research paper co-supervised by faculty members from the Graduate Program in Philosophy and Osgoode Hall Law School, students are required to successfully complete at least 13 credits of upper year JD courses in each of the fall and winter terms.

Major Research Paper

In the second year, students must successfully complete 18 credits in coursework in philosophy at the graduate level including Philosophy 5800 3.0: Core Theoretical Philosophy I and Philosophy 5802 3.0: Core Practical Philosophy I. During this year students also begin work on their major research paper, by settling on a general topic and choosing their co-supervisors with the assistance of the program’s co-directors.

Possible major research paper topics include but are not restricted to: evidence and epistemology, responsibility and tort, moral theory and criminal law/procedure, punishment, political theory and constitutional law, international law, legal reasoning, general jurisprudence, human rights, justice and procedure.

All course work for the MA must be completed during the MA year. The grading standards of the Faculty of Graduate Studies apply.

In Years 3 and 4, following the MA year, students return to Osgoode to complete the final two years of the JD but maintain status in the Faculty of Graduate Studies. In the event that a student decides not to return to Osgoode to complete the JD, the MA in philosophy may still be awarded upon successful completion of the requirements for that degree.

In addition to completing the major research paper, students are required during the final two years of the JD program to take one additional half course (3 credits) in philosophy at the graduate level. The major research paper counts for 6 credits towards the JD and the additional philosophy course counts for 3 credits toward the JD. That is, students in the combined program are allowed to count 9 credits towards the standard upper year JD requirement, in recognition of the major research paper and extra philosophy course they are required to complete during the final two years.

The Developmental Science area trains students in theory and research related to the processes and implications of change across the lifespan. Research interests of our faculty members broadly include social, emotional, visual and cognitive changes in infancy; language, and cognitive development in childhood; educational applications; comparative development; bilingualism; and cognitive change in adulthood and older age. Approaches include comparative and evolutionary psychology, experimental behavioural methods, individual differences approaches, and the full range of neuroscience techniques (e.g., fMRI, event-related potentials and patient studies). Students gain experience through coursework, research, and supervised practica. Practica can take place in laboratories at 91��ɫ or other research centres, or in applied settings such as hospitals. For more information about this area, contact Dr. Thanujeni Pathman.

The Historical, Theoretical and Critical Studies area in Psychology at 91��ɫ reflects a vibrant interdisciplinary field dedicated to the history and philosophy of what it means to be human. The area examines what kinds of knowledge have come to count in psychology and why, and explores the ethical, ontological, methodological, and epistemological questions that face the discipline. The area contributes to and draws upon a variety of theoretical frameworks (feminist, decolonial, queer, and critical race theory; hermeneutics, etc.) and engages in contemporary debates using a wide range of qualitative (archival research, oral history interviews, thematic analysis, participatory) and quantitative (social network analysis, web-scraping) methods. The area studies how psychology is shaped by society and how psychology has come to shape society. For more information about this area, contact the Area Coordinator, Dr. Mike Pettit.

Students in the Social and Personality Psychology area are trained to be researchers who are prepared for positions in academia (e.g., as university professors) and/or in industry. Faculty and students in the Social and Personality Area conduct basic scientific research on foundational topics, including attitudes, culture, emotions, empathy, intergroup relations, personality, relationships, religiosity, and the self. They also conduct research on a variety of topics related to important social issues and real-world applications, such as coworker relations and forgiveness, cultural psychology, depression and self-esteem, dynamics of competition and cooperation, happiness and meaning, jury decision-making and sexual assault, interactions with mass media and technology, romantic relationships and sexual health, racial identity, and inter-group relations, stereotyping and prejudice, stress and coping, and the development of racial and gender bias. Students’ scientific training is developed further through various practica, the laboratories of faculty members and in various settings outside of the university. For more information about the area, contact the Area Coordinator, Dr. Jennifer Steele.

The Quantitative Methods Area trains students in the research, development, and application of advanced quantitative methods for psychological and behavioural science data. Students are trained for research-based positions in academic, governmental, educational, and commercial organizations. Areas of research include latent variable models, methods for psychological measurement, equivalence testing methods, statistical communication, statistical graphics for multivariate data, robust ANOVA (analysis of variance), and methods for longitudinal data. These quantitative research areas often involve applications to substantive issues in clinical, clinicaldevelopmental, developmental science, social-personality, and other fields of psychology. Students in the Quantitative Methods Area are encouraged to conduct research on the other substantive areas of psychology in conjunction with their quantitative training. For more information about this area, contact the Area Coordinator, Dr. David Flora.

RESEARCH FACILITIES

Most of the facilities for the Graduate Program in Psychology are located on the main 91��ɫ campus, primarily in the Behavioural Sciences Building. The laboratory space, equipment, and media rooms provide excellent facilities for a wide range of experimental research. The building also houses clinical and child-study centres, including the 91��ɫ Psychology Clinic, as well as the Donald O. Hebb Computer Lab.

Admission Requirements

MA

PhD

The Graduate Program in Psychology welcomes outstanding graduates of recognized universities. The usual requirement for admission is an honours degree in psychology, (or its equivalent, with at least eight full courses in psychology) and a B+ or higher standing in the last two years of study. The honours degree equivalent for students not applying to the Clinical area should include:

One full course in Introductory Psychology;
One full course or two half-courses from the following: child psychology, social psychology, abnormal psychology, personality theory and behaviour disorders, theories of personality;
One full course in research design and statistical analysis;
One full course or two half-courses in experimental psychology: cognitive processes, learning, motivation, perception, physiological psychology; and,
Four other full psychology courses or the equivalent.

Applicants must submit official scores from the Graduate Record Examination (General Test required for all areas; Subject Test in Psychology also required for Clinical and Clinical-Developmental areas).

The honours degree equivalent for students applying to the Clinical area should include:

One full course in Introductory Psychology;
One full course in Research Design and Statistical Analysis; and,
The equivalent of six other full courses in psychology.

Applicants to the Clinical area are expected to have a general background and knowledge in core content areas of psychology. Of the six other full courses, one full course or two half-courses in each of the following core content areas, taken at the undergraduate level, are accepted as satisfying this expectation:

biological bases of behaviour (e.g., physiological psychology, comparative psychology, neuropsychology, sensation, psychopharmacology; health psychology);
cognitive-affective bases of behaviour (e.g., learning, memory, perception, cognition, thinking, motivation, emotion);
social bases of behaviour (e.g., social psychology; cultural, ethnic and group processes; sex roles; organizational and systems theory); and,
individual behaviour (e.g., personality theory, human development, individual differences, abnormal psychology).

Students deficient in any of the above content areas may be admitted to the Clinical Area. However, such students must make up for any deficiencies through appropriate courses taken prior to the completion of their coursework for the PhD program.

Students with such qualifications may be admitted as candidates for the MA degree. Applicants must submit official scores from the Graduate Record Examination (General Test and Subject Test in Psychology).

The usual prerequisite for admission to the PhD program in psychology is a master’s degree in psychology. However, the Graduate Program in Psychology may consider applications from exceptional students with master’s degrees in other fields. Normally, students may not enter the PhD program until they have completed all the master’s requirements including the thesis.

Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Sciences	a) Six credits in courses specializing in quantitative methods from the statistics courses offered in graduate psychology, chosen from a list of courses approved by the program; and, b) Three half-courses or equivalent chosen from those offered at the 6000 level by the Graduate Program in Psychology (not including computer skills courses).	Practica Each area of specialization assigns practica to its students. In the practicum the student’s academic learning is applied and consolidated. The practicum is also the context in which the student’s professional conduct and development are supported and evaluated. Grades are given to practica, and are assigned with full awareness that both academic learning and professional responsibility are uniquely related in the practicum experience. Candidates for the MA degree are required to serve on campus at least one practicum, typically a research practicum (Psychology 6820 6.0), or an applied practicum (Psychology 6810 6.0).	Thesis & Oral Examination Under the supervision of a committee (normally consisting of a supervisor and one other faculty member from the program), each candidate must conduct a research study on a topic chosen in consultation with their supervisor and report the results in appropriate thesis form. The research and thesis should demonstrate the candidate’s independence, originality, and understanding of the area under investigation. After the formal submission of the thesis, an oral examination, normally centred on the thesis and matters related to it, is held. Program Entry The MA program can be completed on a full-time basis.

Program-Sanctioned YUPC Hours Students in the program will complete 30 hours during their PhD conducting supervised clinical activities in the 91��ɫ Psychology Clinic.
Developmental Science	a) Six credits in courses specializing in quantitative methods from the statistics courses offered in graduate psychology, chosen from a list of courses approved by the program; b) A minimum of two half-courses at the 6000 level including at least one half-course from the Developmental Science course list below. Students are also required to attend the Developmental Science colloquium series.	Practica Each area of specialization assigns practica to its students. In the practicum the student’s academic learning is applied and consolidated. The practicum is also the context in which the student’s professional conduct and development are supported and evaluated. Grades are assigned to practica, and with full awareness that both academic learning and professional responsibility are uniquely related in the practicum experience. Candidates (PhD I & II) are normally required to complete at least two practica, at least one of which must be in developmental research. The two types of practica are the applied practicum (Psychology 6810 6.0) and the research practicum (Psychology 6820 6.0).	Academic Breadth Comprehensive Paper Each PhD candidate is required to write an academic breadth comprehensive paper on a topic chosen in consultation with their supervisor. The academic breadth comprehensive paper is intended to foster breadth of psychological knowledge, and therefore must be in an area not directly related to the candidate’s dissertation research. With permission, the topic may be chosen from a field outside psychology. The dissertation supervisor may not serve on a student’s academic breadth comprehensive paper committee. The academic breadth comprehensive paper must be completed and approved by the end of the summer term (September 15) of the third year of the PhD residency (PhD III). It is expected that the academic breadth comprehensive paper will be completed before work begins on the PhD dissertation. Dissertation and Oral Examination Each PhD candidate must conduct one or more research studies on a topic chosen in consultation with their supervisor and report the results in appropriate dissertation form. The research and dissertation should demonstrate the candidate’s independence, originality, and understanding of the area of investigation and should constitute a contribution to knowledge. After the formal submission of the dissertation, an oral examination, normally centred on the dissertation and matters related to it, is held to determine whether or not the candidate has fulfilled their dissertation requirement.

The Master’s in Public & International Affairs is a central activity of the Glendon School of Public and International Affairs. The purpose of the program is to prepare students to assume leadership roles in public institutions, whether they be governmental or nongovernmental organizations, at the provincial, federal, or international level, or to develop and apply expertise about public institutions, as with careers in journalism or business-government relations. This is achieved through a combination of course work and an internship. Students also have the option of completing a major research paper.

The curriculum includes standard courses in policy analysis, public management and research methods. Students are introduced to such matters as governance models, policy formulation and implementation as well as more practical aspects such as briefing notes and memoranda to Cabinet.

At the same time, the curriculum develops students’ capacities along four dimensions:

Public Affairs : Students develop an understanding of how the processes of policy making and public management are shaped by structures and forces beyond the public sector. They examine how public decision making is led and constrained by economic processes and actors. Students also look at the relationship between state structures and civil society, exploring the emergence of new forms of governance that transcend state and civil society.
Bilingualism : Key to the program is graduating fully bilingual leaders. There is a strong presence of both Anglophones and Francophones among the student body. Students pursue their studies in English and French. All professors and personnel are also bilingual. Guest lectures, colloquia and seminars are conducted in both official languages. Student exchanges to partner universities further strengthen the bilingualism of students. This focus on bilingualism responds to demand from federal and provincial governments for fully bilingual leaders and public service employees.
Interdisciplinarity : The program draws upon several disciplines and areas including Canadian studies, economics, history, international studies, law, philosophy, political science, sociology and women’s studies. Only an interdisciplinary approach can capture the wealth of interrelationships at play within this understanding of public affairs.
International context : The curriculum places Canadian public institutions in their international context. For instance, students explore how public decision-making is structured by international economic and social forces. They analyze how the Canadian state functions within an international system of state structures and international organizations through which public goods and issues increasingly are conceived on a global basis. It is critical that future public leaders comprehend these international processes of change, and can develop the appropriate strategies.

La maîtrise en affaires publiques et internationales occupe une position-clé au sein de l’École d’affaires publiques et internationales de Glendon. Le programme a pour but de préparer les étudiants à assumer un rôle de leadership au sein d’organismes gouvernementaux et non gouvernementaux au niveau provincial, fédéral ou international, ou bien de leur transmettre une expertise en lien avec les organisations publiques qu’ils pourront ensuite appliquer dans leur carrière de choix que ce soit dans le journalisme, dans un poste lié aux rapports entre les secteurs publics et privés, ou toute autre activité professionnelle. Les travaux de cours et le stage sont censés aider l’étudiant à atteindre ces objectifs. Ils ont aussi l’option d’écrire un mémoire de recherche.

Le programme comprend des cours d’analyse des politiques, de gestion publique et de méthodes de recherche. De plus, les étudiants sont initiés à des sujets tels que les modèles de gouvernance, l’imputabilité, la formulation et la mise en oeuvre des politiques, de même que des aspects plus pratiques tels que les notes de breffage et les mémoires au Cabinet.

Le programme s’appuie sur quatre dimensions fondamentales propres à la vie publique:

Les affaires publiques : Les étudiants développent une connaissance de la façon dont le processus d’élaboration des politiques et de gestion publique est influencé par des structures et des forces qui dépassent le secteur public. Ils étudient l’impact des systèmes et des acteurs économiques sur les prises de décision dans le secteur public. Ils explorent aussi l’émergence de nouvelles formes de gouvernance qui transcendent l’État et la société civile.
Le bilinguisme : L’un des objectifs primordiaux de notre programme est de former des leaders parfaitement bilingues. Ceci explique la forte présence d’anglophones et de francophones parmi nos étudiants . Tous les professeurs et les membres du personnel sont bilingues, et les étudiants étudient en anglais et en français. Les conférences, les colloques et les séminaires se donnent dans une des deux langues officielles. Les échanges avec l’une de nos universités partenaires permettent aux étudiants de perfectionner leur connaissance de l’autre langue. Cet accent que nous mettons sur le bilinguisme est en réponse aux gouvernements fédéral et provinciaux qui exigent des leaders et des fonctionnaires parfaitement bilingues.
Une approche interdisciplinaire : Notre programme fait appel à plusieurs disciplines et domaines d’études, notamment les études canadiennes, la science économique, l’histoire, les études internationales, le droit, la philosophie, la science politique et les études des femmes. Nous sommes persuadés que ce n’est qu’à travers une approche interdisciplinaire que l’on peut véritablement saisir toute la complexité des rapports qui façonnent le domaine des affaires publiques.
Un contexte international : Notre programme situe les institutions publiques canadiennes dans leur contexte international. Les étudiants examinent comment le processus décisionnel dans le secteur public est structuré par des forces économiques et sociales internationales. Ils analysent le fonctionnement de l’État canadien au sein d’un système mondial constitué de structures étatiques et d’organisations internationales où de plus en plus les biens et les questions publics sont examinés dans une perspective mondiale. Il incombe aux futurs leaders de la vie publique de comprendre ces processus de changement internationaux et d’élaborer des stratégies en conséquence.

Après avoir réussi ces deux années d’études, la première à Toronto et la deuxième à Strasbourg, les étudiants recevront deux diplômes d’études de deuxième cycle, un de chacun des établissements.

Le programme de double diplôme avec l’Université de Strasbourg offre la possibilité de combiner les aspects nationaux et internationaux des affaires publiques dans un cadre à la fois théorique et pratique. On pourra suivre les cours de deux universités de pointe et recevoir l’enseignement de professeurs dont les domaines de spécialisation sont nombreux et variés. Les étudiants anglophones pourront consolider leur maîtrise de leur deuxième langue officielle grâce à l’immersion dans un milieu où le français est la première langue. Strasbourg, siège du Parlement européen et du Conseil de l’Europe, regorge d’occasions stimulantes sur le plan intellectuel pour les candidats au double diplôme

CONDITIONS D’ADMISSION

Les candidats au double diplôme de l’Université 91��ɫ doivent avoir terminé un programme de baccalauréat spécialisé ou l’équivalent (généralement un programme de quatre ans à temps plein) dans un établissement postsecondaire accrédité, et avoir obtenu une moyenne pondérée minimale de « B+ » au cours des deux dernières années d’études. Une expérience de travail dans le secteur public est souhaitable, mais pas requise.

En plus de la maîtrise d’une des deux langues officielles, les candidats doivent avoir une connaissance pratique de la deuxième langue. Pour être admis au programme de double diplôme et afin de pouvoir fonctionner dans un environnement et une université francophones, l’expression «connaissance pratique» signifie une connaissance écrite et parlée des deux langues au niveau universitaire.

L’admission est basée sur le rendement universitaire, les capacités linguistiques, trois lettres de références et la lettre d’intention. Seuls les meilleurs candidats seront sélectionnés pour le programme de double diplôme.
