Admission Requirements
Applicants should submit a portfolio consisting of : (i) a completed application form; (ii) a personal profile in accordance with the format prescribed by the Program; (iii) a C.V.; (iv) an official transcript of grades attained in undergraduate courses; (v) two letters of reference; and (vi) a sample of writing from undergraduate courses. Normally, successful applicants will have an Honours B.A. in Communication or a cognate discipline; however, students lacking this formal requirement but having equivalent qualifications (for example, significant experience with a social justice agency or having engaged for a significant time in social justice related activities) are also encouraged to apply. Students lacking formal admission requirements may be required to enroll in a make-up year.
Program Curriculum Structure
Students must complete five courses, three of which must be 40-500, 40-501, and 40-502. They must also prepare a major paper which may evolve from one of the courses. The presentation of the major paper defense will be open to all faculty and students. Students completing a thesis must take four courses, three of which must be 40-500, 40-501, and 40-502.
