A specialized professional degree to develop managers, leaders and innovators who can tackle today's healthcare challenges.

The 12-month Master of Health Industry Administration (MHIA) is a highly specialized 34.5-credit full-time program designed to provide the in-depth knowledge and skills necessary to navigate and manage in a highly complex and competitive field that encompasses business, government, and not-for-profit organizations.

The Canadian healthcare system, along with others around the world, requires major transformational changes to adapt to limited financial resources, an aging population, and the emergence and adoption of new delivery models and technologies, including artificial intelligence, business analytics, and virtual care.

The MHIA combines Schulich鈥檚 strengths of leading-edge management education with our specialized expertise in the field of healthcare administration. Building on Schulich鈥檚 existing  and graduate diploma, along with a diverse alumni pool and wide range of sector partners, this highly applied professional program will integrate leadership development with a focus on strategic thinking, systems design, healthcare quality, and value-creation.

The MHIA curriculum is designed by faculty within Schulich鈥檚 newly created , a holistic initiative designed to promote thought leadership in the field of health leadership and management through education, applied research, and industry collaboration.

The program has established a number of prestigious scholarships, including the Robert Krembil Scholarship of Merit, worth approximately $60,000, which will go to one MHIA student each year, as well as the Dr. L. O. Bradley Leadership Entrance Award, given annually to two students, and the Beno卯t Lauz茅 Scholarship of Excellence.

    The Graduate Diploma in World Literature is designed to highlight and give official accreditation to students鈥 transnational, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary literary expertise. Unique in Canada, this challenging graduate diploma can lead to prospective careers in a range of areas requiring a high level of cross-cultural literacy in this era of globalization, from government to the global creative industries.

    Admission Requirements

    The Graduate Diploma in World Literature can be obtained in conjunction with an MA or PhD degree in English, Humanities, or Translation Studies.

    Diploma Requirements

    Diploma students must successfully complete:

    • A compulsory three-credit course on the history and practice of comparative and world literature: Humanities 6157 3.0: Comparative and World Literature Seminar: History and Practice/Same as English 6157 3.0 and Translation 6157 3.0. This course is in addition to the requirements of an MA or PhD degree in English or Humanities, or of an MA in Translation Studies.
    • A capstone diploma research paper, elaborated with the advice of a Professor with specialization in the topic to be explored. This paper further develops expertise in world literature, and requires that students demonstrate the interdisciplinary, cross-cultural research and critical skills acquired throughout their world literature graduate diploma studies. The diploma research paper is marked by the primary advisor, then submitted to a second reader who also marks and comments, and then both reports are sent to the Graduate Program Director. This is also an additional requirement.
    • One course in cultural theory (three or six credits), to be chosen among the offerings of the Graduate Programs in English, Humanities, or Translation Studies. A list of available courses is given to students each year. While this course counts for both the degree and diploma, students enrolled in the graduate diploma must write a research paper that extends the discussion of cultural theory into the domain of world literature.
    • Three course-related research papers with a world literature perspective and content; or an MA major research paper or thesis; or a PhD dissertation with a world literature approach. While such work counts for both the graduate diploma and the degree program, students enrolled in the graduate diploma need to supplement their MA or PhD requirements with work done from a world literature perspective throughout their degree studies: the graduate diploma augments the degree requirements and allows students to receive accreditation for the added value of this specialized training.

    It is recommended, but not required, that students complete a study period, research stay, or an internship in a country pertinent to their projects in world literature. The Graduate Program in English has an exchange program with Mainz University; 91亚色 has an agreement with every university in France for 鈥渃otutelle鈥 doctorates; 91亚色 is an institutional affiliate of the Institute for World Literature, which meets for a month in cities across the globe every summer. More generally, 91亚色 International has a large number of exchange agreements, summer programs, and internships that are available to graduate students:



    Students are provided with a list of such opportunities for studies and internships abroad, and encouraged to take advantage of them.

    Visual Arts offers practice-based degree programs at master鈥檚 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亚色 faculty members, guest artists, curators and critics also support the development of students鈥 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鈥檚 objectives.

    Admission Requirements

    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亚色 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亚色 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鈥檚 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.

    Application Package

    Application is online. See Faculty of Graduate Studies website .
    Note: All application material is submitted online. Please do not send anything by mail.

    For any questions or inquiries, please consult the Visual Arts program website for contact information:

    Selection Procedure

    The applicant鈥檚 work and other documents are examined by two faculty members and one graduate student representing the studio area of the applicant鈥檚 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 鈥淏鈥 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.

    Application

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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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 pr茅cis 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鈥檚 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亚色. 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鈥 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亚色鈥檚 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.

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鈥檚 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, Dance & 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鈥檚 fields of specialization and/or the student鈥檚 research areas (e.g., production dramaturgy, choreography, 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 course grade (pass/fail) is determined by the faculty supervisor in consultation with the 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鈥 familiarity with and ability to identify core ideas in the texts and identify key debates in the fields of theatre, dance and performance studies. It also aims to test knowledge of a student鈥檚 chosen research and teaching areas to verify sufficient grounding in scholarship relevant to a student鈥檚 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 鈥淭heatre, Dance & Performance Studies Field List,鈥 is a set list of texts (dramatic and performance theory; theatre, dance and performance history and historiography, dramatic literature, performance texts, etc.) designed to assess the candidate鈥檚 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 鈥淒issertation Research Area 鈥 General List,鈥 reflects the broader area in theatre, dance and performance studies in which the dissertation is situated (e.g., Canadian theatre, performance theory, actor training methods, somatics, performance art, critical dance studies and pedagogy, postcolonial theatre, physical and devised theatre). Each text speaks to the relationship between the student鈥檚 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 鈥淒issertation Research area 鈥 Specific List,鈥 is specifically related to the dissertation and may be outside of theatre, dance and performance studies (e.g., site-specific performance, feminist and queer theory, critical race theory, cultural geography, arts and cultural policy, autobiographical theory, popular culture studies). 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 are 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鈥檚 dissertation proposal guidelines to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Proposal guidelines are outlined in detail on the program website and in the program handbook. The dissertation proposal is developed under the direction of the supervisor and supervisory committee. In order to ensure timely submission of the proposal, students should plan to submit a draft to their supervisor and supervisory committee no later than six weeks after the comprehensive examination.

    The dissertation must embody the results of original research with significant value for the study of theatre and performance and must be successfully defended at an oral examination, normally by the end of year 5 (term 15).

    If the dissertation topic requires work in another language as deemed by the supervisory and supervisory committee, students must demonstrate reading proficiency in that language by the end of year three (term 9).

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

    The PhD in Theatre, Dance & Performance Studies is normally completed in a maximum of five 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 18 terms (6 years) of registration as a full-time or part-time doctoral student in accordance with Faculty of Graduate Studies鈥 registration policies.

    The Graduate Program in Theatre is a conservatory program set in the atmosphere of a multifaceted university. 91亚色鈥檚 program is unique in Canada and one of the very few of its kind and intensity in North America. Its fundamental mission is to help each student/artist fulfill her or his own potential as a creator.

    The program rests on the principle that professional training in theatre is most effectively carried out in an atmosphere that approximates the profession to which the students aspire.

    The program investigates the nature of the art and the skills needed for performance in today鈥檚 theatre, film and television industries. The program is geared to the advanced student who has a dedication to craft and performance-creation; to the highly talented student right out of undergraduate school; and to the professional in need of re-evaluation and a fuller understanding of the art form. The purpose of the training is to involve the developing artist in intensive explorations under the guidance of leading experts and specialists from the theatre department faculty, from across Canada and from the international theatre community.

    The Graduate Program in Theatre at 91亚色 is located in one of North America鈥檚 major centres for theatrical film, television and media production.

    Students may 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.

    The graduate program consists of a highly select group of up to twelve actors, four directors, three playwrights, two voice teachers, two acting teachers and two movement teachers.

    Performance students focus their studies on preparation for the work they will encounter in the profession. Day to day training includes vocal, physical, and emotional work, improvisation, textual preparation, language preparation, mask work, clown work and scene study.

    Directing students learn an appreciation of the craft of the actor by participating in some of the actor training. They take part in directing workshops and study approaches to research. They direct productions for the department.

    Playwriting students. The objective of the playwriting area is to develop imagination and powers of observation, to stretch the playwrights鈥 reach and to help them discover a wide variety of options.

    Design students. The design for performing arts field supports the development of committed professionals as master designers for theatre, dance and opera who understand the need to re-examine existing theatre practices and, while retaining their artistic and intellectual goal, do so in a sustainable and ecological manner.

    Voice Teacher Diploma students.*
    *This graduate diploma is not accepting new registrants. In addition to the actor training, the voice teacher diploma candidates engage in weekly seminars, observations, assist senior faculty and teach under supervision. The training includes voice, voice science, anatomy and physiology, language, speech sounds, phonetics, dialect, coaching techniques, and traditional and non-traditional approaches to voice.

    For all students the first year of the program consists primarily of intensive studio work leading to a final project. The summer session is devoted to research, and the second year leads to a repertory of plays.
