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 91ɫ 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

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 91ɫ 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 91ɫ are:

In addition to course work, the program requires a comprehensive examination by the end of second year (term 6) comprised of a self-curated survey exhibition of the candidate’s work and a 20-30-page paper that positions the work in relation to contemporary art practices and theoretical considerations. The examination normally takes place at the exhibition venue. It is expected that this examination will enable the student to reflect on the nature of their work to date and project the direction of their upcoming work, to be detailed in the dissertation proposal. 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 objectives of the comprehensive examination are to equip students with the specialized knowledge they need to undertake research for their doctoral dissertation and to prepare and qualify students to teach at the university level.

Comprehensive exams follow Faculty of Graduate Studies’ regulations governing Graduate Milestone Examinations.

Following the comprehensive exam, a dissertation proposal should be submitted by the end of the sixth term (or at the latest, the beginning of the seventh term). The dissertation proposal will be approximately fifteen pages in length, with the addition of a bibliography. It outlines the nature of the proposed studio work and the theoretical/critical areas that inform it, through a survey of the pertinent texts.

By the end of the 12th term (approximately year 4) students are expected to orally defend a dissertation that presents their research in the form of a significant solo exhibition, accompanied by a dissertation paper of a minimum of 100 pages. A key criterion for assessing the dissertation exhibition and paper in the final oral examination is their contribution to practice-based scholarship.Dissertations are evaluated by standard Faculty of Graduate Studies’ oral defence procedures. When the supervisory committee is satisfied that a dissertation is ready for oral examination, it sends a signed oral defence examination notification form to the Faculty. The supervisor, working in conjunction with the Graduate Program Director, forms an examination committee according to the standards of the Faculty. A complete copy of the dissertation is sent to all members of the oral examination committee at least four weeks before a scheduled oral defence date.

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

Normal degree completion time in our program is 12 consecutive terms (4 years years). Doctor of Philosophy students must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of four years of full-time registration.

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. 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, 91ɫ’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 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 (students are evaluated on a case-by-case basis upon entering the program). GS/THST 5051 Theatre, Dance & Performance Studies Professional Placement 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, 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’ familiarity with and ability to identify core ideas in the texts and identify key debates in the fields of theatre, dance & 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, Dance & Performance Studies Field List,” 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’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, dance & 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’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, dance & 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’s 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 dissertation can take a variety of forms, including monograph, manuscript- based, complex digital, or multimodal, in line with Faculty of Graduate Studies' regulations.

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’ registration policies.

The Graduate Program in Theatre is a conservatory program set in the atmosphere of a multifaceted university. 91ɫ’s 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’s 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 91ɫ is located in one of North America’s 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’ 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.

For more information about the area, contact the Director of Clinical Training, Dr. Jonathan Weiss. For more information regarding the Clinical Neuropsychology stream, please contact Dr. Magdalena Wojtowicz.

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 91ɫ 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 91ɫ 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. Michaela Hynie.

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. Amy Muise.

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. Robert Cribbie.

RESEARCH FACILITIES

 Most of the facilities for the Graduate Program in Psychology are located on the main 91ɫ 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 91ɫ Psychology Clinic, as well as the Donald O. Hebb Computer Lab. The Hebb lab and Psychology Resource Centre play a critical role in the research and teaching missions of the Department and of the 91ɫ Psychology Clinic. The Psychology Resource Centre provides access to a variety of academic supports apart from the library resources, including bookable space for research; computers with standard and statistical software suites; statistical advising; writing and learning assistance. The configuration provides flexible space for individual and collaborative space for groups to formally and/or spontaneously engage with their learning after leaving the classroom. Faculty members and groups of students or the graduate students themselves use the bookable space to meet and work together, review findings; prepare for presentations; conduct, video and critique one another’s practice assessments; conduct research with participants; run make-up exams; hold teaching assistant office hours; review and use Psychology Resource Centre tools and resources (tests, test aids; multimedia, reference tools; internship, practica holdings, funding, writing guides; laptop and test scoring software; etc.). The Department’s two Computer Laboratories and the Psychology Resource Centre on the ground floor of the Behavioural Science Building house a total of 50 workstations and a printer. The Graduate Computer Lab has 12 computers which are reserved for the exclusive use of graduate students 24 hours/7 days a week.

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:

  1. One full course in Introductory Psychology;
  2. One full course or two half-courses from the following: child psychology, social psychology, abnormal psychology, personality theory and behaviour disorders, theories of personality;
  3. One full course in research design and statistical analysis;
  4. One full course or two half-courses in experimental psychology: cognitive processes, learning, motivation, perception, physiological psychology; and,
  5. 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:

  1. One full course in Introductory Psychology;
  2. One full course in Research Design and Statistical Analysis; and,
  3. 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.

Coinciding with the conclusion of the field courses and simultaneous with their final integrative practicum (Nursing 5870 6.0), students take Nursing 5880 0.0: Nurse Practitioner Research Development and Knowledge Mobilization. This non-credit course provides students with the opportunity for a critical and analytic reflection on a topic/issue/problem related to the student’s practicum experience. Students are supervised in the preparation of a research proposal by graduate faculty members in the program.

Students are required to obtain at least a B grade in core courses in order to progress in the program. If students are not successful in earning at least a B after two attempts in a core course they will be exited from the program.

Students must also successfully complete seven graduate core nurse practitioner courses offered through the Council of Ontario Universities Programs in Nursing consortium:
Nursing 5810 3.0: Pathophysiology for Nurse Practitioners;
Nursing 5820 3.0: PHCNP Roles and Responsibilities;
Nursing 5830 3.0: Advanced Health Assessment and Diagnosis I;
Nursing 5840 3.0: Advanced Health Assessment and Diagnosis II;
Nursing 5850 3.0: Therapeutics in Primary Health Care I;
Nursing 5860 3.0: Therapeutics in Primary Health Care II; and,
Nursing 5870 6.0: Integrative Practicum in Primary Health Care.

Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioners field students are required to obtain at least a “B” grade in all generic core courses in order to progress in the program. If students are not successful in earning at least a “B” after two attempts in a core course they will be exited from the program. In order to be eligible to continue in and graduate from the Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioners field, students must receive a grade of at least “B” in each of the seven core nurse practitioner courses offered through the Council of Ontario Universities Programs in Nursing consortium listed above. Students may repeat one of the courses listed above once in order to achieve a grade of “B.”

Program Entry

The Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner field MScN program can be completed on a full- or part-time basis. Entry is fall term.

Program Length

The expected degree completion time for Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner field master’s students is 6 terms for full-time students and 9 terms for part-time students. For those students who complete degree requirements earlier than 6 terms, they must register and pay fees for a minimum of the equivalent of 6 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

Candidates for the PhD in Nursing degree must fulfill the following requirements:

1. Core course
Nursing 7000 6.0: Philosophical Foundations of Contemporary Nursing Science;
Nursing 7005 6.0: Research Approaches in Nursing Science;
Nursing 7015 0.0: Doctoral Seminar I; and,
Nursing 7020 0.0: Doctoral Seminar II.

2. Electives
Two half courses (two 3.0 credit courses) at the graduate level.

3. Comprehensive Examination and Dissertation Proposal Defence
This examination must be completed within the first 28 months of starting the PhD program.

The PhD comprehensive examination and dissertation proposal defence is a milestone event in students’ PhD education. Students are expected to demonstrate their ability to defend the rationale, theoretical conceptualization, method, and implications of the proposed doctoral dissertation research orally and in writing. In addition, students must write one publishable scholarly paper in a related cognate area and defend it both orally and in writing. Both the scholarly paper and the research proposal must each be 15 to 20 pages, double-spaced. The purpose of the examination is to determine if students have sufficient mastery of their chosen areas of expertise, including the ability and preparedness to independently conduct original research and to write for scholarly publication, in order to continue to progress in the graduate program.

4. Dissertation
The dissertation (Nursing 7100 0.0: Dissertation) normally takes four to six terms (two calendar years) to complete. Students are expected to demonstrate the ability to conceptualize, design, and independently conduct original research for the generation of new knowledge; identify the implications of the knowledge produced; and articulate a plan for knowledge dissemination and mobilization. The coursework and dissertation proposal examination prepare students to successfully conduct independent inquiry. Recognizing the diversity of knowledge, inquiry, and practices in the program areas of focus (health for persons and community, health care services and systems, and education in nursing), students in consultation with their supervisor and supervisory committee are able to present the written report on their research as either a standard dissertation or as three papers of publication quality. The dissertation, or equivalent papers, and oral examination provide the means for a summative evaluation of students’ doctoral research. Students are required to demonstrate that they have met all doctoral degree level expectations with respect to depth and breadth of knowledge, research and scholarship, application of knowledge, awareness of limits of knowledge, professional capacity and autonomy, and communication skills.

Program Entry

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

Program Length

The length of time required to complete the PhD is normally four years (12 terms). 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’ registration policies.

Graduate Diploma in Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner

This graduate diploma is delivered synchronously and draws largely on self-directed case-based learning. All courses are graduate-level courses. Of the seven courses, two are delivered at the provincial level with instructors who are not employed through 91ɫ, and five are delivered on campus, by 91ɫ educators. As the format is not didactic, students are responsible to determine which specific content they would like to cover in class, as much of the content also needs to be learned independently, so students are asked to prioritize content for discussion. There is also a significant experiential component where students learn how to complete focused physical clinical exams using simulated patients at the level of a primary care provider. For those who already hold a master’s degree, this program expedites the training of Nurse Practitioners in Ontario.

The Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner graduate diploma curriculum is mapped to the competencies as outlined by the College of Nurses of Ontario. The program consists of seven courses delivered through the consortium, with educators in the role of facilitators. The program uses a blended delivery model consisting of asynchronous pre and post reading and self-directed learning. This is coupled with synchronous classes, with small-group case-based learning, discussion, hands-on classes in a laboratory setting, and practicum. The curriculum follows entry-to-practice standards as set out by the College of Nurses of Ontario, and at 91ɫ, is taught in English. There are a total of 252 didactic hours and 731 practicum hours. It is also recommended that students complete 10-20 hours of self-directed leaning per week, per course.

The Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner graduate diploma consists of two theory-based courses:

Nursing 5810 3.0: Pathophysiology for the Nurse Practitioner: 12 modules, 36 didactic hours.
Nursing 5820 3.0: Nurse Practitioner Roles and Responsibilities: 12 modules, 36 didactic hours.

as well as five courses with the following hours which consist of both theory and practicum:

Nursing 5830 3.0: Advanced Health and Diagnosis I: 12 modules, 36 didactic hours, 78 practicum hours
Nursing 5840 3.0: Advanced Health and Diagnosis II: 12 modules, 36 didactic hours, 78 practicum hours
Nursing 5850 3.0: Therapeutics in Primary Health Care I: 12 modules, 36 didactic hours, 78 practicum hours
Nursing 5860 3.0: Therapeutics in Primary Health Care II: 12 modules, 36 didactic hours, 78 practicum hours
Nursing 5870 6.0: Integrated Practicum: 12 modules, 36 didactic hours, 419 practicum hours

The full-time option for this program will be delivered over 11 months. The part-time option will be delivered over 23 months.

Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner Graduate Diploma Study Plan
The course schedule for full-time and part-time students is as follows.

Following of the sequence of courses is mandatory for all students.

Fall term: September-December;
Winter term: January-April;
Summer term: May-August.

Students in all streams of the graduate program are expected to be registered every term and to take courses every term to progress through the program. The program offers a set program of study. Courses must be taken in the sequence outlined in the Student Handbook. If circumstances arise students can petition for a leave of absence from the program as allowed by the policies of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. It is the student’s responsibility to develop a plan for resuming their course of study on return from a leave of absence.
