First Year OptionsStudents are able to enter directly into theFaculty of Social Sciences. The followingoptions are available to students:
1. Enter Social Sciences directly but do notdeclare a Major.
2. Enter Social Sciences directly anddeclare one of the majors that the Facultyoffers (Anthropology, Archaeology,Economics, Geography, History,Linguistics, Political Science, Psychology,Sociology, or Urban Studies).
3. Enter Social Sciences directly anddeclare one of the Collaborative orInterdisciplinary degrees offered (LatinAmerican Studies, InternationalRelations, or East Asian Studies). Notethat students wishing to enter the EarthScience or Environmental Scienceprograms must wait until their secondyear (having completed five full-courseequivalents). During their first year theymay reside in either Social Sciences orthe Faculty of Science Natural Sciencesprogram.
Students are able (but not required) todeclare a Major as a first year student in theFaculty of Social Sciences. However, by thetime they have completed five full-courseequivalents, students must choose a Major.In the Faculty of Social Sciences, westrongly believe that students should beexposed to a range of academic disciplinesboth in their first year of study, and through-out their program. All Social Sciencesstudents regardless of whether they havedeclared a Major, are strongly encouraged tocomplete three courses (one and one-halffull-course equivalents) from differentdisciplines in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Students are also reminded that they mustfulfill the Effective Writing Requirement withintwelve months of their admission to theUniversity of Calgary.
GraduateDetailed degree program requirements of thegraduate programs listed above can befound in the Faculty of Graduate Studiescalendar. All graduate degree programs fallunder the jurisdiction of the Faculty ofGraduate Studies.
Faculty Information
Contact Information Faculty Location: Social Sciences 209
IntroductionThe Social Sciences broadly encompass allhuman experience from the earliest begin-nings of civilization to the contemporaryaspects of modern society in all of itsdiversity and complexity. The broad under-standing of our world, its origins and physicalstructures, as well as the patterns of itssocial, political and economic life is pro-moted by the nine disciplines in the Faculty,namely: Anthropology, Archaeology,Economics, Geography, History, Linguistics,Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.
Faculty RegulationsStudents in the Faculty of Social Sciencesare governed by the academic regulations inthis section as well as the AcademicRegulations section of this Calendar.Additional program and course requirementsof individual departments are specified insubsequent departmental and course listingsections.
AdmissionsNew applicants should refer to “AdmissionRequirements” in the Academic Regulationssection of this Calendar for regulationsregarding University admission requirements.
Students wishing to enroll in any program ofthe Faculty of Social Sciences must meet thefollowing admission requirements:
1. High school matriculation or equivalentwhich must include English 30 and oneof Mathematics 30, Mathematics 31, orPure Mathematics 30, or their equivalents.Refer to the Academic Regulationssection of this Calendar for regulationsregarding University admission require-ments.
2. All students must satisfy the EffectiveWriting Requirement as outlined in theAcademic Regulations section (at thefront) of this Calendar.
3. Students transferring from otherfaculties or institutions require a gradepoint average of 2.00 on their mostrecent five full-course equivalents.Students transferring into the Psychol-ogy program require a grade pointaverage of 3.00 on their most recent fivefull-course equivalents. See thePsychology section for more detailedinformation. All grades within a sessionwill be included except where thenumber of courses taken within asession exceeds that required to fulfill(to a maximum of) five full-courseequivalents, in which case the highestgrades will be used.
4. Students may be admitted or readmittedto the Faculty on probation if (a) they areon probation in another faculty at thetime of admission to the Faculty ofSocial Sciences, or (b) they previouslyhave been required to withdraw from theUniversity of Calgary or any other post-secondary institution. Students admittedon probation must clear probation at
their first academic review (seePerformance Review below).
Specific programs offered by the Faculty ofSocial Sciences may require, for purposes ofadmission, the completion of particularcourses and other admission criteria,including a higher grade point average thanthat specified in the Academic Regulationssection of this Calendar (see specificprogram descriptions in the followingsections).
Students considering a Major or Honoursprogram in the Faculty of Social Sciencesmust contact the Department concerned asearly as possible for proper advice regardingtheir programs.
RegistrationOnce admitted to the Faculty of SocialSciences, students are required to register incourses consistent with their academicprogram. Failure to do so may result in thecancellation of their course registration bythe Associate Dean. Students are advisedto read and consider carefully all regula-tions and, in cases of doubt as to theprecise meaning of any statement orregulation, to consult the Departmentconcerned and the Associate Dean(Student Affairs).
All students are responsible for the com-pleteness and accuracy of their registrationand for arranging their course selections tomeet all program requirements as detailed inthis Calendar section, Faculty of SocialSciences.
Students should seek the advice of theAssociate Dean (Student Affairs) and/or theDepartment of their Major. Consultations withthe Associate Dean (Student Affairs) arespecifically recommended for those studentswho are registering in the final coursestowards a degree. Any departure fromstandard program requirements must receiveprior written authorization from the AssociateDean (Student Affairs).
Regardless of their home Faculty, studentsare not permitted to register in more than sixfull-course equivalents from any group ofcourses constituting the field of a Majorprogram other than that to which the studenthas been officially admitted.
Students are advised not to register in acourse unless they have achieved a grade ofat least “C-“ in each prerequisite course. Astudent who has successfully completed acourse without having the normal prerequi-site course(s) may not subsequently registerin the prerequisite course(s) for programcredit without permission of the departmentoffering the course in which the studentwishes to register.
First Year RequirementsUntil at least three full-course equivalents atthe junior level have been successfullycompleted, a student may not register in seniorcourses unless their program requires it.
Course LoadThe equivalent of five full courses in the Fall/Winter Sessions represents a normal fullload. Students with a GPA of at least 3.20over their last five full-course equivalents willnormally be permitted to register in oneadditional course. All other students maycarry additional courses only with the specialpermission of the Associate Dean (StudentAffairs). It should be pointed out that extracourses represent substantial burdens andmay damage overall performance. Opportu-nities for accelerated progress also existthrough credit courses in the Spring andSummer Sessions as well as creditsobtained “by Special Assessment.”
Withdrawal from CoursesStudents will not be permitted to withdrawmore than once from a particular course.Students will be required to withdraw if theyhave accumulated a total of more than fivefull-course equivalent withdrawals while inattendance at the University of Calgary.
Subject to the regulations specified above,students may withdraw from courses byusing the Touch-Tone Telephone RegistrationSystem. In any full or half course, thewithdrawal must be processed prior to thedeadline specified in the Academic Scheduleprinted in this Calendar. The letter “W” will berecorded on the transcript in lieu of a grade.Before deciding to withdraw from a course,students are encouraged to seek advice onthe implications of this action with theircourse instructor or from the Associate Dean(Student Affairs).
Students wishing to withdraw completelyfrom the University should refer to theAcademic Regulations section at the front ofthis Calendar.
Repetition of CoursesStudents may repeat a course previouslyfailed or one in which a higher grade issought, including withdrawals. Normally,however, any one course may be repeatedonly once. See the Academic Regulationssection of this Calendar for the Universityregulations.
Course WorkCredit in Courses “BySpecial Assessment”This Faculty allows students to gain credit insome courses “by Special Assessment.”Students are referred to the AcademicRegulations section of this Calendar wherethe University regulations are described. Notmore than five full-course equivalentscompleted ‘by Special Assessment” may becounted towards a degree.

Opportunities to TakeCourses at AnotherInstitution for Transfer ofCredit – Visiting StudentsSubject to any relevant conditions set out inthe specific program regulations whichfollow, students may be authorized to takesome of their program course work atanother university if their registration as avisiting student is acceptable to thatuniversity. (Note particularly point 2 of theGraduation Requirements—Degrees with aMajor Field.)
Applications for such authorizations must bemade as early as possible in writing to theAssociate Dean (Student Affairs) and beaccompanied by full details of the proposedcourses and the total hours of instruction(machine copies of actual Calendar descrip-tions are preferred). Students will be advisedofficially by letter of the acceptability of theproposed courses for transfer credit in theirprograms and an appropriate letter will besent to the Registrar of the other University.Students on probation are not eligible toreceive a Letter of Permission to study atanother institution.
It will be the responsibility of the student toensure that an official transcript of grades isforwarded directly to the Registrar of theUniversity of Calgary so that appropriatecredit may be officially recorded.
Course ClassificationAll degree programs in the Faculty of SocialSciences require the completion of at leasttwo full-course equivalents from each ofthree Areas which are designated as listed(see Areas Chart).
Courses normally available for credit towardsa baccalaureate degree carry numbers from200 to 599. Courses numbered below 300are termed junior courses, those numbered300 or higher, senior courses.
The numbering of courses at the 200, 300,400, and 500 levels in a particular field isintended to indicate the level of sophistica-tion involved and although many courses donot have prerequisites, it is often the casethat a 200-level course is a prerequisite for a300-level course, a 300-level course for a400-level course, etc.
Area IAll courses offered by the Faculty ofHumanities, Film courses, plus those FineArts courses listed below.
Note: In fulfilling Area I degree require-ments students should note that at leastone full-course equivalent must bepresented from the Faculty of Humanities.The Fine Arts courses listed below are notsubject to the limitations imposed oncourses from other Faculties. (See regula-tion 6. under “Graduation – Degrees with aMajor Field.”)
Student StandingDean’s ListThe Dean’s List recognizes the outstandingachievement of students in the Faculty. It iscompiled annually at the end of the WinterSession. To qualify for the Dean’s List, astudent must achieve a grade point averageof 3.60 or higher over all courses taken inthe preceding Fall, Winter, Spring andSummer Sessions. One of (a) a minimum offour and one-half full-course equivalents, or(b) a minimum of four full-course equivalentsplus a Spring or Summer Co-op workplacement, or (c) a minimum of two full-course equivalents plus a Fall or Winter Co-op work placement must be completed witha grade point average of 3.60 or higher. Astatement of inclusion on the Dean’s List willbe recorded on the student’s transcript.
Performance Review,Probationary Status andDismissalThe academic standing of each studentregistered in the Faculty will be reviewedafter each Winter Session, except forstudents who have not completed three full-course equivalents since their previousreview; those students will retain theircurrent standing.
Students Previously inSatisfactory Standing(a) will retain that standing if they have
achieved a GPA of at least 2.00 over allcourses taken since the previous review.
(b) will either be placed on probation (if theyhave achieved a GPA of at least 1.70but less than 2.00 over all courses takensince their previous review) or will berequired to withdraw from the Faculty iftheir overall record is consideredunsatisfactory.
(c) will be required to withdraw from theFaculty if they have achieved a GPA ofless than 1.70 over all courses takensince their previous review.
Students Already onProbation(a) will be reinstated in satisfactory standing
if they have achieved a GPA of at least2.00 over all courses taken since theirprevious review.
(b) will be required to withdraw from theFaculty if they have achieved a GPA ofless than 2.00 over all courses takensince their previous review.
Students will be permitted a maximum of oneprobationary period while registered asundergraduate students at the University ofCalgary. Students will be required to

withdraw rather than be placed on probationfor a second time. Students placed onprobation as a criterion of admission will nothave this period counted in the totalpermitted. Probationary periods that haveoccurred in excess of five years previous willnot be counted. In the case of studentsrequired to withdraw from the Faculty butwho have subsequently been admitted toanother Faculty, the Faculty of SocialSciences reserves the right to refuseregistration in any Social Sciences’ coursesother than junior or recognized and requiredservice courses.
GraduationWith DistinctionThe notation “With Distinction” will beinscribed on the permanent record andgraduation parchment of any studentscompleting a Major program with a gradepoint average of at least 3.60 over the last15 full-course equivalents completed at theUniversity of Calgary. In cases in which the“last fifteen” must include some but not all ofa group of courses taken concurrently, theselection will be made in the manner mostadvantageous to the student. Students whohave taken part of their work at anotheruniversity or who have transferred into thisFaculty may be granted a degree “WithDistinction” at the discretion of the Faculty.
Degrees with a Major Field1. Successful completion of an approved
program equivalent to 20 full courses.
(a) A minimum GPA of 2.00 must beachieved over all 20 courses.

(b) At least half the courses countingtowards the Major must be taken atthe University of Calgary.
3. Successful completion of at least sevenand not more than 10 full-courseequivalents in the Major field (except forthe BA Majors in International Relationsand Urban Studies). Of these theDepartment may specify certain coursesas required. In the case of cross-listedcourses within the Faculty of SocialSciences, credit will be given toward aMajor in either Department as appropri-ate, regardless of the title under whichthe course was taken.
4. At least two full-course equivalents ineach of the three Areas. At least one full-course equivalent of those presented inArea I must be from the Faculty ofHumanities. (See Course Classificationsection under “Faculty Regulations -Course Work.”)

7. A minimum of eleven full-courseequivalents must be taken from coursesoffered in Areas I, II, and III. A maximumof one full-course equivalent physicalactivity course (Dance EducationActivity/Theory, Outdoor PursuitsActivity/Theory, and Physical EducationActivity/Theory) may be creditedtowards degree program requirements.
8. Normally, for the BA degree the totalnumber of courses taken from Areas Iand II must exceed the number takenfrom Area Ill. Conversely, for the BScdegree the number of courses takenfrom Area III must exceed the total fromAreas l and II.
Degrees with a DoubleMajorStudents desiring a degree with a doubleMajor must complete all requirements ofboth Major fields. Students registered in theFaculty of Social Sciences who wish topursue a second Major outside the Facultymust take more than half of their courses inthe Faculty of Social Sciences. Permission toundertake a double major must be obtainedfrom the Associate Dean (Student Affairs).Students are not normally allowed to use thesame course(s) in both Majors.
Minor FieldStudents may formally declare a Minor fieldand have this officially recorded on thetranscript of record provided that theycomplete at least five and not more than sixfull-course equivalents of which at least halfmust be at the senior level. This declarationmay be made not later than the time of lastregistration. At present these Minor fieldsmay be taken from the Faculties of Commu-nication and Culture, Continuing Education,Education (Community Rehabilitation andDisability Studies), Fine Arts, HaskayneSchool of Business, Humanities, Science,Social Sciences and Social Work. Forpermission and further information contactthe Associate Dean (Student Affairs) of theFaculty of Social Sciences. Students shouldconsult the Calendar regulations in otherfaculties within which they intend to declarea Minor. In the case of cross-listed courseswithin the Faculty of Social Sciences, creditwill be given toward a Minor in eitherDepartment as appropriate, regardless of thetitle under which the course was taken.
Honours Degrees with aMajor FieldAdmissionA principal aim of an Honours program is toprepare the student in the field of majorinterest for entry to higher degree programs.High standards of performance are required.
In addition to the general admissionrequirements of the Faculty, students wishingto be considered for admission into anHonours program must have completed atleast five full-course equivalents and musthave achieved: (1) a GPA of at least 3.00over the most recent five full-courseequivalents, and (2) a cumulative GPA of atleast 3.00 over previous University ofCalgary courses and courses taken at otherinstitutions which are applicable towards thecompletion of degree requirements.
Departments may set additional requirements.
Applications are referred to Departments fortheir recommendation before being consid-ered by the Faculty. Students applying to beconsidered for admission to the Honoursprogram must do so using the studentaccess terminals. Applications will only beconsidered at the time of Fall Sessionregistration.
With the exception of the Honours programin Psychology, students may apply forHonours after the first, second or third yearof their program. Entry into an Honoursprogram after the completion of two or moreyears may require the completion of coursework in addition to the normal 20 full-courseequivalents in order to meet the require-ments for an Honours Degree. Students arethus urged to transfer into Honours at theearliest possible stage in their program toavoid complications. Entry into the Honoursprogram in Psychology is only possible forthe final year of study (see under ‘Psychol-ogy’ for details on admission to the Honoursprogram in Psychology).
Performance ReviewThe academic standing of each honoursstudent will be reviewed each year followingthe Winter Session. Continuation in theHonours program is contingent upon thestudent meeting the Faculty and Departmen-tal requirements concerning the structureand content of the program (see GraduationRequirements below) and upon maintaininga grade-point average of 3.00, or higher ifspecified by the Department, over allcourses completed since the last academicreview. Students are advised that Depart-ments may set additional requirements.
Graduation Requirements1. Degrees with Honours are awarded in
two classes: First Class Honours andHonours. For First Class Honours theFaculty requires that a student musthave successfully completed anapproved program equivalent to 20 full-course equivalents with a GPA of atleast 3.60 over the last 15 full-courseequivalents completed. In cases inwhich the “last 15” must include somebut not all of a group of courses takenconcurrently, the selection will be madein the manner most advantageous to thestudent.
For Honours, the corresponding Facultyrequirement is a minimum GPA of 3.00.Individual Departments may require

higher standards for graduating in anHonours program, and graduation iscontingent upon the recommendation ofthe Department concerned, to the Dean.
In the field of specialization, a candidatefor Honours may have no failures whileenrolled in the Honours program. Withinthe 20 full-course equivalents included inthe degree program, no more than onefull-course equivalent “D” or “D+” grademay be in the field of specialization.
2. Candidates entering the Honoursprogram after five full-course equiva-lents of study must complete the degreewithin six 12-month periods; candidatesentering the program after 10 full-courseequivalents of study must complete thedegree within five 12-month periods;candidates entering the program after15 full-course equivalents of study mustcomplete the program within four 12-month periods.
Candidates entering the Honours Co-operative Education program after eightfull-course equivalents must completethe degree within the following six 12-month periods; candidates entering theprogram after 15 full-course equivalentsmust complete the program within thefollowing five 12-month periods.
3. Successful completion of at least eightand not more than 12 full-courseequivalents in the Major field. Of thesethe department may require not morethan 10. In the case of cross-listedcourses within the Faculty of SocialSciences, credit will be given toward aMajor in either Department as appropri-ate, regardless of the title under whichthe course was taken.
4. At least two full-course equivalents ineach of the three Areas. At least one full-course equivalent of those presented inArea I must be from the Faculty ofHumanities. (See Course Classificationsection under “Faculty Regulations -Course Work.”)
5. At least 12 full-course equivalents at thesenior level.
6. At least four full-course equivalentsoffered by faculties other than theFaculty of Social Sciences.
7. A minimum of eleven full-courseequivalents must be taken from coursesoffered in Areas I, II, and III. A maximumof one full-course equivalent physicalactivity course (Dance EducationActivity/Theory, Outdoor PursuitsActivity/Theory, and Physical EducationActivity/Theory) may be creditedtowards degree program requirements.
8. Normally, for the BA (Hons) degree thetotal number of courses taken fromAreas I and II must exceed the numbertaken from Area III. Conversely, for theBSc (Hons) degree the number ofcourses taken from Area III must exceedthe total from Areas I and II.
9. On the possibility of declaring a Minorfield, check the graduation requirementsfor Degrees with a Major Field.
A student who fails to obtain a standingnecessary to continue in an Honoursprogram, or decides not to continue inHonours, may transfer to another programbut must meet all the requirements of thenew program including a maximum of 10 full-course equivalents in the major fields.
Co-operative EducationProgramCo-operative Education in the SocialSciences consists of five-year degreeprograms which formally integrate universitycourses with relevant work experience ingovernment, business, and non-profitorganizations. Students alternate periods ofwork and academic study. The SocialSciences Co-operative Education programsprovide students with opportunities toexperience the linkages between academicknowledge and a variety of appropriate jobsituations. By graduation, students will havecompleted a Social Sciences degree with aMajor Field, along with the Job-SchoolBridging Concentration or a Managementand Society Minor or another approvedMinor, as well as four work placements.
Students should consult both the Co-operative Education/Internship and SocialSciences Department sections of thisCalendar.
It is very important that students consideringapplication see the Associate Dean (StudentAffairs), as well as the Departmental Co-opAdvisor, early in their programs, preferablyduring the second session of their first year.
Students thinking about combining HonoursSocial Sciences and Co-operative Educationprograms should consult with the Depart-ments, as early as possible, in order todetermine Departmental policies andexpectations.
AdmissionStudents must meet the Departmentalcourse and GPA requirements for admissionto the Co-operative Education programs.
Required CoursesStudents must complete all the usualrequirements for a major in Archaeology,Economics, Geography, History, Linguistics,Political Science, or Sociology.
These four Co-operative Education halfcourses are also required: Co-operativeEducation 551.01, 551.02, 551.03, 551.04(Co-operative Placement in the SocialSciences). Upon completion of each workterm, the student must present a work termreport to the appropriate Departmental Co-Operative Education Coordinator. A satisfac-tory work term report, and attendance at theIntegrative Session at the end of each workterm (as well as completion of relatedassignments) are conditions for receivingcredit for Co-operative Education 551.01,551.02, 551.03 and 551.04.
The purpose of the Integrative Session is tofocus student attention on the linkagesbetween their particular job experiences, and
the concepts, theories, and methodology oftheir Social Science major. The session isapproximately three hours in length, andordinarily held in the early evening.
In addition, the student must complete therequirements for the Job-School BridgingConcentration or the Minor in Managementand Society (see Haskayne School ofBusiness section of this Calendar), oranother approved Minor. The Job-SchoolBridging Concentration requires students totake three full-course equivalents from theList of Bridging Courses. Students arenormally required to complete two coursesfrom each of the three Bridging Coursegroupings. Variations from this are possiblebut require Departmental approval and theapproval of the Associate Dean (StudentAffairs). A course taken for credit towards theSocial Sciences Major may not be chosenfor credit in the Bridging Concentration or theManagement and Society Minor or theapproved Minor.
It is very important, both before and afteracceptance into the Co-operative EducationSocial Sciences programs, that studentsconsult early and often with their Depart-ments and with the Associate Dean of SocialSciences.

Faculty of Social Sciences, they may applyto the combined degree program anddeclare two Major Fields. Graduationrequirements are the same as those for aDegree with a Major Field or an HonoursDegree with a Major Field (see above)except for the following:
1. Successful completion of an approvedprogram equivalent to 25 full-courseequivalents.
2. Successful completion of at least sevenand not more than 10 full-courseequivalents in the two Major fields.
3. At least one-half of the 25 full-courseequivalents must be taken at theUniversity of Calgary. Of these, amaximum of 10 full-course equivalentsmay be transferred to one of the degreeprograms. Half the courses countingtowards each of the Majors must betaken at the University of Calgary.
4. The number of junior courses takenmust not exceed eight full-courseequivalents in total.
The program requires careful selection ofcourses to complete all requirements of thetwo Major fields. Interested students areurged to contact the Associate Dean(Student Affairs) for advice in choosing theirfirst-year courses. It will be possible forstudents to opt out of the combined degreeprogram until the end of their third year andcomplete one degree program in four years.Students should note, however, that ifcourses have been unevenly distributed,more than four years may be required tocomplete the degree.
Second BaccalaureateDegreesSecond Baccalaureate Degreewith a Major FieldStudents who have received one or moreapproved undergraduate degrees (BA, BSc,BEd, etc.) may apply for admission to aSecond Baccalaureate Degree program. Thegraduation requirements for a SecondDegree are the same as those for a Degreewith a Major field (see above) except for thefollowing:
1. Up to 12 full-course equivalents countedtowards any previous degrees may becounted towards the Second Degree.These will be the most recently com-pleted 12 full-course equivalents thatcan be applied to the requirements ofthe Second Degree program.
2. Courses extra to previous degrees andso noted on transcripts may be countedtowards the Second Degree in additionto those under (1), if completed beforeenrolling in the Second Degree programand if consistent with Faculty regula-tions.
3. Of all courses additional to thoseapproved under (1), at least five full-course equivalents must be taken onthis campus including at least fournumbered 300 or higher in the Faculty of
Social Sciences and including at leasthalf of the minimum number required inthe new Major field.
4. Students will not normally be admitted toa Second Degree program in any field inwhich they already possess a degree.
Upon application for admission to a SecondDegree program, students will receive adetailed assessment of the requirements tobe completed. For further information andadvice, students should contact the Associ-ate Dean (Student Affairs).
The Second Degree may be awarded “WithDistinction” at the discretion of the Faculty ifa GPA of at least 3.60 is achieved over the15 full-course equivalents most recentlycompleted. These will include courses extrato previous degrees as well as courses fromthe previous degrees. In cases in which the“last fifteen” must include some but not all ofa group of courses taken concurrently, theselection will be made in the manner mostadvantageous to the student.
Second Baccalaureate Degreewith Honours in a Major FieldStudents who have received one or moreapproved undergraduate degrees may applyfor admission to a Second Degree programwith Honours. Applicants for such a programare subject to the following requirements inaddition to those specified above for SecondDegrees with a Major field:
1. A minimum of eight of the additional full-course equivalents must be completedin four consecutive academic years.
2. The regulations governing programcontent and the standards of perform-ance for the corresponding first degreewith Honours must be satisfied. For FirstClass Honours the Faculty requires aGPA of at least 3.60 over the 15 full-course equivalents most recentlycompleted. These will include coursesextra to previous degrees as well ascourses from the previous degrees. Incases in which the “last fifteen” mustinclude some but not all of a group ofcourses taken concurrently, theselection will be made in the mannermost advantageous to the student.

Urban StudiesIntroductionUrban Studies is a broad interdisciplinaryprogram designed to provide an integratedunderstanding of the social, political,economic, cultural, and geographic proc-esses that shape urban life. Cities are sitesof great cultural and ethnic diversity,economic innovation, artistic expression,resource consumption, wealth generation,and political conflict and cooperation. Todaymost societies are predominantly urban,even as global processes increasingly shapethem. Understanding the processes thatshape cities, as well as the ways in whichcities affect broader scale processes, lies atthe heart of Urban Studies. The UrbanStudies program should provide a strong
background for students interested inworking in public and private sector fieldsincluding urban and regional planning,architecture, social and cultural develop-ment, environmental design and education.

Minor/Concentration inApplied Energy EconomicsIntroductionThis is a program offered by the Faculty ofSocial Sciences in collaboration with theCanadian Energy Research Institute (CERI).The Department of Economics administersthe program. The primary objective of thisprogram is to provide the student with thehistorical and institutional background andthe basic tools necessary for an understand-ing of the operation of North American andworld energy markets. The program includesthe development of analytical and problem-solving skills.
Students will benefit from expert instruction byacademics at the University and appliedresearchers at CERI. The courses at theUniversity will focus on the relevant back-ground, theory and tools, while the courses atCERI will provide the opportunity for studentsto participate actively in a wide range ofresearch projects in applied energy econom-ics. CERI is an internationally respectedresearch institute specializing in all aspects ofenergy economics with offices in UniversityResearch Park, very close to the campus.
It is anticipated that students who graduatewith a minor or concentration in applied
energy economics will enhance theirprospects of securing relevant and rewardingemployment in the energy sector. Additionaleducation and training is recommended forthose wishing to take full advantage of thecareer opportunities in applied energyeconomics. This typically involves thecompletion of a masters degree. Studentscontemplating graduate work should consultthe Department in the selection of courses.
AdmissionApplications for admission to the program(either the Minor or Concentration in AppliedEnergy Economics) can be made to theFaculty of Social Sciences. Prior to applyingfor admission, students must have com-pleted Economics 201/203 and obtained agrade point average of at least 2.70 over themost recent course work to a maximum offive full-course equivalents (University ofCalgary courses and/or transferable coursestaken at other institutions). All grades withina session will be included except where thenumber of courses taken within a sessionexceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximumof) five full-course equivalents, in which casethe highest grades will be used. Theapplication deadline is June l. (A GPA of atleast 2.70 must normally be maintained forcontinuation in the program.) Admission tothe program may have to be limited. Ifapplications exceed spaces, students will beadmitted in order of descending GPA.
