RE: Creation of a Joint Degrees Program between the Faculty of Education and
the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies
The following motion has been approved by the Faculty Councils of Education and
Kinesiology and Health Studies and is offered to the Council Committee on
Undergraduate Admissions and Studies for approval:
Creation of a Bachelor of Education/ Bachelor of Kinesiology
Joint Degrees Program
FOR BACKGROUND INFORMATION Faculty of Education & Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies
Joint Degree Program Proposal for PPC Brief Synopsis of the Proposed Joint Degree Individuals admitted to the proposed joint degree program would be offered the opportunity to complete a B.Ed with a major in Educational Physical Education (EPE) and a B.Kin with a major in Physical Literacy (this is a new proposed major). The joint degree program would require completion of a minimum of 150 credit hours (and may be as much as 159 hours depending on the teaching minor chosen). Students would formally apply, and be admitted, to the joint program. Students may enter directly from high school or as transfer students (prior to completing 30 credit hours). Once students enter the program they must complete the entire program to graduate from the joint degree program. Total admissions into the program would not exceed current limits imposed by the Faculty of Education for the B.Ed (EPE) degree program. Minimal resources will be required to mount this joint program beyond those currently allocated. Introduction and Rationale The Faculty of Education (ED) and the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies (KHS) have had a long, collaborative, and cooperative relationship. Historically, KHS (Department of Physical Education, then Faculty of Physical Activity Studies) was called to “provide instruction in the theory, practice and philosophy of physical education” and “to provide instruction in the fundamental skills of physical education activities in the elective program” (p. 167, 1979-80 University of Regina Calendar). These early courses (i.e., major courses) were similar in focus to courses currently offered in the “Core Requirements” of the current B.Kin (e.g., Exercise Physiology) or other courses still offered through the Faculty (e.g. , Movement Education). In addition, there were numerous single credit hour activity courses that were delivered for students interested in physical education or to meet general education or elective requirements
11
APPENDIX II
of students in other degree programs. When the Department became a Faculty (of Physical Activity Studies, and later Kinesiology & Health Studies) and the BPAS degree was introduced (and later changed to the B.Kin), the role of assisting in preparing physical educators did not cease. Over time, the number and types of named KHS courses required in the B.Ed (EPE) degree have changed.. For example, at one time Human Physiology I (KIN 267) was required, but currently is not. More recently, KHS and ED collaborated to replace the required single credit hour activity courses with three credit hour courses that bridged theory and practice so that prospective physical education teachers would be better prepared to deliver the Physical Education provincial curriculum (e.g., KHS 132 Recreational Sport in an Aquatic Environment, KHS 135 Personal Fitness and Wellness, KHS 231 Educational Gymnastics, KHS 232 Rhythmics and Dance, and KHS 233 Developmental Games and Sports) and to be philosophically consistent with a „movement orientation‟ to the delivery of activity. Since the introduction of those courses, KHS and EDU have partnered to ensure the staffing of those courses would meet the needs and expectations of both faculties. In fact, the two units have partnered for the next two years in creating in a joint term appointment to teach courses for both faculties taken by EPE majors as well as KHS students. In summary, what has remained consistent over the years is the collaborative, cooperative relationship and the deep connection between the two Faculties. Certainly there have been important changes in our respective environments in the last twenty years. Specifically, we refer to the knowledge explosion, the evolution and maturation of academic disciplines, and the ongoing pursuit toward formal certification. The fields of education in general, physical education in particular, and kinesiology are no exceptions. One need only look at the changes in the degree programs in those fields over the past decade. More and more content has become prescribed in order to address the changing needs and expectations often imposed by the professional communities we serve. Another important development in the professional environment is the increased focus on ensuring members of our society become physically literate. Physical literacy refers to the development of the whole person and includes (a) the development of skills to participate confidently in physical activity, (b) foundational knowledge of why physical activity is important (i.e., its benefits), (c) developing positive attitudes toward physical activity, and (d) becoming physically active (Physical & Health Education Canada). This goal of a physically literate society will require a strong theoretical and practical framework built upon a developmental foundation that provides future professionals the requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes to nurture this change. Over the past decade numerous discussions and meetings have occurred between interested faculty members from ED and KHS, all with a focus on creating „possibilities‟ to address these various changes and visions. One of the exciting initiatives that has resulted is to provide students with an opportunity to „merge‟ the two degrees (B.Ed - Physical Education Major and B.Kin) into a unique program of study. Historically, there have been a significant number of students in KHS who were interested in the fields of Kinesiology and Education. These students often entered the University through KHS and then transferred to ED within a year or two, or completed an after degree program in ED after first completing a B.PAS or B.Kin degree. Moreover, as previously stated, the faculties have had discussions over the years of formalizing the relationships between the respective degrees. With the recent program renewal developments and related initiatives in each faculty, coupled with conventional certification in the related fields and the professional interest of faculty members, the time to formalize the concept of a “Joint” Degree program seems logical. 12
APPENDIX II
Across the country, there are more and more joint degree/dual degree programs being established (e.g., University of Calgary; University of Western Ontario). However, these differ from, what on this campus are known as, concurrent degrees. Unlike concurrent degrees (where students are admitted separately into two different programs, often in different faculties, completing the degree requirements of both at the same time, or at different times), joint degrees are formal arrangements between two faculties to offer a unique degree program that must be approved by Senate. Students must apply to the program and must complete all the requirements in order to graduate with both degrees. Should students decide to graduate with only one of the degrees, they would need to withdraw from the joint program and apply to transfer into the Faculty offering the preferred single degree program. The “Place” of the Joint Program with University and Faculty Planning Priorities (i.e., Strategic Plan) In order to accomplish an important part of the University‟s stated mission (i.e., to “provide high quality, accessible education that prepares learners for productive and creative lives”), the University‟s 2009-2014 Strategic Plan sets as one of its key goals to “align our array of program offerings to respond to the needs and interests of current and prospective students”. Specifically, units are called on to “benefit students with cross-disciplinary programming”. The proposed joint degree program does both without actually requiring anything „new‟. The joint program takes what both Faculties currently offer and combines it in a package that we believe will meet needs and interests of, and be of great benefit to, current and potential students. Student Demand and Anticipated Growth At this stage it is difficult to gauge what student demand might be. We are currently aware of a number of students already in either a B.Ed or B.Kin program who are planning to apply to transfer to the joint program when it becomes available. We have also been fielding telephone inquires regarding when such a program might officially be in place. Coaches who are recruiting athletes to our campus have also had recruits indicate interest in such a program offering. Certainly, we will have a better idea of the level of interest once recruiters go into the community with this information and applications arrive. Initial plans are to limit admission to a cohort of no more than ten students. If demand for the program increases, that number would be reviewed in light of existing resources and future opportunities for graduates of the program. We do know that in the past five years (2006 – 2010), thirty – four (34) students began their academic career in KHS and then applied to transfer to the Faculty of Education – Secondary Teacher Education Program – Physical Education (Major), while fifteen (15) students first completed a B.Kin and then pursued the Bachelor of Education After Degree – Secondary Teacher Education Program – Physical Education (Major) component. These numbers certainly indicate that students have been creating their own informal joint degree. Anticipated Benefits There are several benefits, both from a student and institutional perspective, that exist with the creation of a joint degree program. First, students completing the joint degree will have an excellent academic preparation that would allow them to pursue multiple career paths in Education and/or Kinesiology. Second, students would be able to complete two degrees in five years obtaining 150 credit hours (since the faculties have cooperated in terms of sequencing and scheduling of course offerings). Third, those students pursuing a teaching career in education would begin their teaching careers at a higher teaching classification ensuring a higher starting teaching salary. From an institutional perspective, we would anticipate that the recognition and profile of this degree will be quite high with a high demand for entry into the program. Furthermore, we are
13
APPENDIX II
confident that the joint degree program will become a destination program for students not only from all parts of Saskatchewan, but also from neighboring provinces. There have already been a significant number of students expressing an interest in the program. Anticipated Costs Since both Faculties currently offer all the courses named in the joint program (no new courses to be created or delivered), we anticipate that there will be no new resources required related to course offerings. Administratively, we anticipate the formalization of the joint degree program to require minimal administrative adjustments since the current administrative structures in the respective faculties responsible for the delivery of existing programs would be easily adapted to, and have the capacity to handle, the proposed joint degree program. Since both faculties would share the program, it is anticipated that issues of selection, retention, professional program counseling and on-going program development would be facilitated by a committee with appropriate representation from both faculties. A similar model is currently employed by the Faculty of Education – Secondary Teacher Education - Music Major and the Music Department in the Faculty of Fine Arts as well as the BHS program. Student files would be managed electronically and held in a location that would be accessible by advisors and administrative personnel from both faculties (KHS is already using such a model for students in the new B.Kin and B.SRS degree programs). Overview of Joint Program The following pages contain (a) a table illustrating the courses required by the B.Kin (Physical Literacy Major) and the B.Ed (EPE Major) that would form the basis of the joint degree program, and (b) two tables illustrating a typical sequencing of courses in the program (this sequence is based on current timetabling practices in both faculties).

APPENDIX III
Date: January 4, 2011 To: Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Studies From: Professor Wes Pearce, Associate Dean (Undergraduate) Re: Report from the Faculty of Fine Arts Note: The following report is submitted pending approval at the Faculty of Fine Arts Admissions Studies and Procedures meeting (January 7) and the Faculty of Fine Arts Council Meeting (January 19). ITEMS FOR APPROVAL 1. FACULTY OF FINE ARTS - Item for Approval:
MOTION 1: That the Fine Arts Requirements outside the Concentration area in the Bachelor of Arts
Fine Arts (Film & Video Studies, Music, Theatre Studies, Theatre Arts or Art History)
Fine Arts Requirements outside the Concentration – 12 credit hours
One course in each of the areas outside the area of concentration. (No more than 3 credit hours may be at
the 100 level.) and One FA course or other approved (by Dean or Designate) interdisciplinary Fine Arts
course.
Be amended to
Fine Arts Requirements outside the Concentration – 12 credit hours
Nine credit hours outside the area of concentration and one FA course or other interdisciplinary
Fine Arts course (approved by Dean or Designate),
Rationale
While the goal of this rule was to give students a greater experience of the other fine arts areas it has
actually become a limitation (pre-requisites required for the 200 level courses can mean that a student’s
options are limited instead of increased) and is at cross purposes with the faculty regulations regarding the
BA programs.
2. DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE - Items for Approval:
MOTION 1: That the Bachelor of Fine Arts in the Department of Theatre be revised as follows:

students more flexibility in courses and scheduling, and allow students to take advantage of opportunities
like double majors, minors, professional placement programs that are available. The program remains a
Bachelor of Fine Arts as the major area still comprises more than half of the degree, giving the program a
studio/production focus.

Rationale:
BFA students complete 15 credits in 400 level studio art classes. Students who major in
Drawing, Ceramics, Intermedia, Print Media, Painting, Sculpture must take all their credits in their
major area. Students who major in Open Studio take 15 credits of 400 level studio art in any
combination, including Open Studio classes (Art 410 – 414). Students select a studio art Professor to
supervise their Open Studio class. This structure will allow greater flexibility and students will benefit
from a more independent learning route, more supportive of cross-disciplinary practices. Overall
credit hours of the Studio Art component of the BFA in Visual Arts are unchanged.

APPENDIX III
3. DEPARTMENT OF VISUAL ARTS – Items for Information
Item 1: ART 400 Professional Issues I (1.5 credits) and ART 401 Professional Issues II (1.5
credits) become Art 400 - Professional Issues (3 credits) and ART 401 Exhibition Preparation (3
credits)
Art 400: Professional Issues consists of professional development and group critiques. Previously
available only to BFA majors, it will now be available to all Fine Arts students.
Art 401: Exhibition Preparation consists of professional development, group critiques and
exhibition preparation. Previously open only to BFA Visual Arts students, it will now be available
for students in the BFA and BA Fine Arts (Visual Arts) Honours program.
Item 2
That Art 430+, 440+, 450+, 460+, 470+ and 480+ and
Art 410, 411, 412, 413, 414 and 415, become variable 3 or 6 credit courses.
Rationale: These changes creates more flexibility in our program, enables students to choose
between depth and breadth, and makes senior level studio classes more appealing to non-majors.
Item 3:
That Art 380 (Intermediate Intermedia) become a variable 3 or 6 credit course.
Rationale: The prerequisite for Art 380, Art 280 (Introduction to Intermedia) (3-credits), will now be
included as an option in the BFA Media Production program, it is already compulsory within the
special 3-year program for Vis Arts Education students and has thus far been a popular choice in the
BA Arts and Culture program. Currently in development is a new interdisciplinary undergraduate
programme in Creative Technologies (a collaborative venture between Fine Arts and computer
Science). Therefore, to be a better fit with other programs across campus, the Intermediate level of
Intermedia (Art 380) will be more appealing as a 3-credit option, whereas the 6-credit option remains
necessary for Visual Arts majors.
