IntroductionThe faculty offers honors, major and minor programs,in co-operation with the Faculties of AppliedSciences and Arts. The faculty also offers jointprograms. For a complete list, please see ProgramsOffered above.

The value of a broadly based education isemphasized. Because of this objective, students willtake mainly non-business courses during the first 60hours. During that period students will completethree categories of courses. The first categoryconsists of lower division requirements. These aremainly tool courses to prepare for more advancedupper division business courses. The secondcategory consists of group requirements whichroughly correspond to humanities, social sciencesand sciences. In the third category, students choosetheir own courses based on intellectual interest or

Business Administration

usefulness in achieving academic goals. The first twocategories should be completed during the first 60hours of the degree program.

The University Calendar in effect at the time thestudent’s honors or major is approved establishesthe degree requirements for the graduation of thatstudent. All students should confirm with theundergraduate program co-ordinator the details ofthe requirements.

Admission InformationCriteriaStudents will be selected competitively from one offour streams.

Category 1 – direct from secondary schoolA portion of the annual admission will be selectedfrom secondary school graduates based on thegeneral Simon Fraser University admissionrequirements plus mathematics 12.*

Category 2 – direct from collegeA portion of the annual admission will be selectedfrom students transferring from community collegesor technical institutes. These students must havecompleted all of the required lower division courses(except BUS 207 and 254 which may be completedafter faculty admission**). Students will be selectedcompetitively based on the Simon Fraser Universityadmission grade point average.

Category 3 – all courses at Simon FraserUniversityA portion of the annual admission will be selectedfrom students who have completed all of theircourses at Simon Fraser University including thelower division requirement courses (except BUS 207and 254 which may be completed after facultyadmission**). Students will be selected competitivelybased on the cumulative grade point average.

Category 4 – some SFU and other post-secondary coursesA portion of the annual admission will be selectedfrom students who have completed some courses atSimon Fraser University and some courses at otherpost-secondary institutions including the lowerdivision requirement courses (except BUS 207 and254 which may be completed after facultyadmission**). Students will be selected competitivelybased on a grade point average which will be acombination of grades earned at Simon FraserUniversity and other institutions.

To be considered for admission to the faculty,students in categories 2, 3 and 4 must havecompleted each lower division requirement coursewith a minimum C- grade. The number ofundergraduate students granted entry to the facultyis limited to 400 to 600 new students per academicyear.

*or equivalent advanced placement or internationalbaccalaureate courses as listed under GeneralAdmission Requirements for British ColumbiaSecondary Schools.

**if BUS 207 and/or 254 have been taken, they willbe calculated into the GPA used for admission to thefaculty.

Application ProceduresStudents applying under category 1 or 2 shouldapply to the faculty at the same time that they applyfor admission to the University.

Students applying under category 3 or 4 shouldapply to the faculty after completing their 30th credithour and before completing the 60th credit hour.

Students should apply during the semester in whichthe lower division requirements, as listed below(except BUS 207 and 254) are completed. Studentsnot accepted upon initial application may reapply.Unsuccessful applicants may appeal through thefaculty appeals committee.

Application DeadlinesApril 1* for summer semesterAugust 1* for fall semesterDecember 1* for spring semester*application earlier in the semester is recommended

Application forms are available in the undergraduateprogram offices in the second month of eachsemester.

International Student ApplicationsInternational students are neither Canadian citizensnor Canadian permanent residents. University policylimits the number of international students admittedby the Faculty of Business Administration as majors,minors, or honors students (including joint programs)to ten percent of the total admitted.

This admission decision is not made at the time ofthe student’s university admission but rather when allthe lower division requirements (except BUS 207 and254) have been completed and formal application ismade to the faculty.

Admission of international students to the faculty isbased on a comparison of international studentapplicants’ academic performance and potential. It ishighly competitive. That is, it is anticipated thatinternational students will require a CGPA higherthan that required of non-international students. In allcases, a CGPA at least equal to that required of non-international students will be required.

Non-Majors Access to BusinessCoursesPriority in upper division business courses is given tostudents who are approved in a business program.(A business program is defined as major, minor,honors and joint programs.) Students are permittedto undertake the lower division business courseswithout formal admission to the faculty.

Students other than those accepted into a program inbusiness administration may take upper divisionbusiness administration courses contingent upon

• space available at the end of the first week ofclasses

• meeting the prerequisites for the individual courserequested

First bachelor’s degree candidates in other SimonFraser University faculties may have specific courserequirements modified by the faculty, upon request.

All students who plan to teach at the secondary levelare required to have completed their degreerequirements prior to commencing PDP. Theexception to this is the BEd candidates who cannotcomplete their degree until they have successfullycompleted PDP. These BEd candidates must havecompleted the academic requirements of oneteachable major or two teachable minors prior tocommencing PDP. Students from other institutionsmay apply prior to the completion of their degree, butsuch students are required to have completed thedegree one full semester prior to commencing PDP.

Secondary applicants must complete six credit hoursof English one full semester prior to commencingPDP.

All Applicants• A minimum of two reference letters, and no more

than three (one should describe the candidate’sexperience in teaching/instructional relatedfunctions) considered.

• written analysis of a teaching situation (describedfurther in the PDP application package).

• A resume must also be submitted by all applicants(refer to PDP application package for additionalinformation).

• Before admission to the program, applicants arerequired to demonstrate competence in written andoral English (and written and oral French in thecase of French immersion and French as a secondlanguage programs).

• Students may be asked to submit evidence of goodhealth before being considered for admission to theprogram.

• Students may be required to have an interviewbefore being considered for admission to theprogram.

• If the number of applicants to the professionaldevelopment program exceeds facilities and staffingcapabilities, the admissions committee will selectthose candidates considered to be best qualified.

• Preference in selection of candidates for admissionis generally given to students whose applicationsshow experience with and commitment to somecommunity service that may include teaching orother helping roles.

• Given the number of well qualified applicants whopresent their credentials for admission to theprofessional development program each year, it ismost improbable that candidates who have beenunsuccessful in four previous competitions will beconsidered favourably in any subsequentcompetition. Therefore, candidates who have beenunsuccessful in gaining entry to the program on atleast four occasions are discouraged from makingfurther application.

Program DescriptionThe professional development program is threesemesters in duration. Professional studies andactivities are arranged in the following sequence.

First Semester of Professional DevelopmentProgramEDUC 401-8 Introduction to Classroom TeachingEDUC 402-7 Studies of Educational Theory and

Practice(These courses are not offered in summer semester)

EDUC 401 and 402 are offered as an integratedprogram, combining theory and practice in both oncampus seminars and in-school practice in the firstsemester of PDP. This is accomplished byalternating blocks of classroom teaching withworkshops and instruction on campus.

Education

• An interruption from the program requested by astudent may normally last no longer than amaximum of four semesters.

• Students who have indicated their intention toundertake a given semester of the professionaldevelopment program and who do not honor thiscommitment are considered to have withdrawn fromthe program. Permission to re-enter is not givenautomatically.

ReadmissionStudents who withdraw from EDUC 401/402 mustreapply to the admissions committee.

A student may apply for re-entry into EDUC 405 bycompleting a re-entry application and submitting it tothe director of professional programs. Deadlines forre-application are as follows: April 15 for the fallsemester; September 15 for the spring semester.

Permission to re-enter the program will be granted if:

• the student has satisfactorily met the conditions forre-entry established when he/she interrupted orwithdrew from the program

• space is available in the semester for which thestudent applies

Students who re-enter PDP should apply for re-entrywithin four semesters of withdrawal. Students who donot re-enter within the specified time may be requiredto complete additional course work beforereadmission.

Students who wish to re-enter EDUC 404 must applyto re-enter the program not later than six weeks priorto the beginning of the semester. An application forre-entry to PDP must be completed.

Recommendation for CertificationThe academic and professional records of allstudents who have completed the three semesters ofthe professional development program will be subjectto review by the faculty before a recommendation forcertification is forwarded to the College of Teachers.

Special Professional ProgramOpportunitiesEDUC 405-15 Course ChallengeStudents with a minimum of one year of full-timeteaching experience in Canada or in a school settingwhere English or French was the normal language ofinstruction, and where the curriculum was reasonablysimilar to a Canadian public school curriculum, maychallenge EDUC 405 subject to the following.

• Course challenge applicants will be consideredaccording to generally established requirementsand procedures. See Registration section.

• Normally, students can register in course challengefor EDUC 405 only while registered in EDUC 401/402. Additional full fees will be levied forchallenging EDUC 405 regardless of whether thechallenge is successful.

• Course challenge credit for EDUC 405 will not begranted before successful completion of EDUC 401/402.

• Application forms are available from the director ofprofessional programs and must be submitted by:May 15 for the fall semester; September 15 for thespring semester.

External Professional DevelopmentProgramsThere are three external professional developmentprograms that operate under the auspices of aconsortia of local community colleges, northernschool districts and Simon Fraser University.

HEART (Helping Expand Access for ReturningTeachers)EDUC 406-12 (HEART) Supervised Observationand TeachingThis EDUC 406 option within professional programsis a supervised orientation/observation and teachingsequence of about 12 weeks in a BC public school.This practicum offers educators, who do not meet BCcertification requirements, an opportunity tofamiliarize themselves with the British Columbiaschool system and to update teaching skills toacquire certification.

EDUC 406 is normally offered in the fall and springsemesters only and space is limited.

Grading is on a pass/withdraw basis.

Applicants to HEART must be attending SimonFraser University or be admissible to the University(see Admission and Readmission). Candidates whohave not attended Simon Fraser previously, or whohave not attended in any of three semesters prior tointended registration in EDUC 406, must submit theapplication for undergraduate admission form to theOffice of the Registrar. Students intending tocomplete Simon Fraser courses in preparation forapplication to EDUC 406 should contact the Facultyof Education (MPX 8624, telephone (604) 291-3798or (604) 291-3488).

Application forms for the HEART program should bereceived by: April 15 for the fall semester;September 15 for the spring semester

An interview is normally required.

CertificationSimon Fraser University does not confer teachingcertificates. The College of Teachers is the only bodyin British Columbia authorized to grant suchcertificates. Under July 1, 1974 regulations, qualifiedstudents from provincial universities, upon makingapplication and submitting birth or baptismalcertificate as proof of name and age, will receive anon-expiring teaching credential.

Note: Persons convicted of a criminal offence andconsidering a teaching career should write to theCollege of Teachers for clarification of their statusbefore undertaking a teacher education program.

Types of CertificatesThere are two types of teaching certificates. Thestandard certificate is awarded after successfulcompletion of an acceptable four year program.Included in the acceptable four year program areboth academic and professional studies. Theprofessional certificate is awarded after successfulcompletion of an acceptable five year program ofprofessional and academic studies culminating in adegree.

The standard certificate requires a minimum of 76credit hours (five semesters) in applied sciences,arts, business administration, science, or education,plus the professional development program (threesemesters). The standard certificate so obtained (aminimum of 120 credit hours of academic andprofessional credit) will normally qualify for TeacherQualification Service category four.

Notes Regarding Requirements for TeachingCertificates

The following are required for teacher certification.

• a minimum of six credit hours in the Department ofEnglish

Applying for a CertificateThe Faculty of Education sends the College ofTeachers a list of students who have completedteacher certification requirements. Each student isgiven or mailed an application for teacher’s certificateof qualification form. Students must forward thecompleted form to the College of Teachers for formalevaluation for certification. Applications for upgradingof certificate (e.g., when a teacher wishes to converta standard certificate to a professional certificate)must also be made to the College of Teachers.

Note: There is a delay between the completion of theprofessional development program and theforwarding to the College of Teachers of documentedrecommendation for a teaching certificate.

Applicants for certification on completion of a degreeshould note the University regulations in thisCalendar relating to final deadlines for submission ofapplications for graduation. Exceptions cannot bemade.

Teacher Qualification ServiceThis service is sponsored jointly by the BC Teachers’Federation and the BC School Trustees Associationand is an advisory service to teachers and schoolboards in evaluating the academic and professionalpreparation of teachers.

At present, the service assists teachers who arenewly certified, new to a school district, or who areupgrading their certificates. Request for evaluationforms are available from the Teacher QualificationService, 106-1525 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, BC,V6T 1T5, or from the PDP admissions office, Facultyof Education, Simon Fraser University.

Faculty of ScienceThis program is recommended for students whointend to proceed to advanced degrees, providedthat they meet the entrance requirements andmaintain the required standing.

Students applying for honors program admission willnormally have a cumulative grade point average of3.00 (B standing). A student is expected to maintainthis standard to continue in the honors program.

Requirements for Honorsand Honors First ClassStudents must complete 132 credit hours of credit asprescribed by the honors program which include thefollowing.

• a minimum of 48 hours of upper division credit inone subject area

• additional credit hours of upper division creditbringing the total to a minimum of 60 credit hours ofupper division credit

• a minimum of 12 credit hours in subjects takenoutside the Faculty of Science (excluding EDUC401 to 407) including a minimum of six credit hourstaken in the Faculty of Arts

Students must also complete additional requirementsas specified by the honors program and in theGeneral Information section of this Calendar.

Program Guidelines• At the outset, students are requested to indicate

their intended major so as to facilitate counselling.• Students who have not determined a major or

intend to transfer to a professional school (i.e.,medicine, dentistry, etc.) should seek advice fromthe Academic Resource Office or the Office of theDean of Science.

• Declaration of major or honors must be officiallyaccepted by that department, prior to thecompletion of 60 credit hours.

• New students intending to take more than 15 credithours in their first semester of studies should seekadvice from the Academic Resource Office, theOffice of the Dean of Science or their majordepartment.

• Normally, the graduation requirements, aspublished in the Calendar at the time of formaldeclaration of major or honors, will apply.

• In any combination of science programs (honors/minor, major/major, major/minor, minor/minor) thestudent may not use the same upper divisioncourse for formal credits towards both programs.One course might fulfil content requirements of tworelated areas, but in such a case additionalreplacement credits in upper division worksatisfactory to one of the departments or programcommittees must be taken in one of the subjects tofulfil overall credit for the two programs involved.

• Programs totalling more than 18 hours of credit persemester require the approval of the dean.

Minor ProgramConsult advisors in appropriate departments whendeciding on course selection. Suggested programsand prerequisites are given in each department'sCalendar entry. An average grade of at least 2.00 isrequired in those upper division courses used tosatisfy the requirements for a minor.

General Science ProgramThis program, consisting of 120 credit hours,provides a broad general education in several fieldswith some specialization in at least two fields. It

requires two minors, one of which must be chosenfrom within the Faculty of Science. The groupings ofcourses from which the two minors can be chosenare given under the General Science Programsection in the Calendar, along with the generalcourse requirements for this degree. It should benoted that all lower division requirements for the twochosen minors must also be completed.

Co-operative Education ProgramsCo-operative education programs are available inbiological sciences, biochemistry, chemistry, earthsciences, environmental science, geography,mathematics and physics. Details are given in thedepartmental sections and in the Co-operativeEducation section.

Withdrawal of Program ApprovalA student whose progress, in the judgment of thedepartment, is below the standard for graduationfrom a program may be refused entry to, or requiredto withdraw from, that program in the department.

Transfer Credit and Bachelor ofScience Degrees for StudentsWho Successfully Complete FirstYear Medical Science ProfessionalTrainingStudents who complete at least 90 credit hours in ascience degree program and are accepted into anaccredited professional program in medicine,dentistry, optometry or veterinary medicine areeligible for a bachelor of science degree from SimonFraser University after successful completion of thefirst year of professional study. To be acceptable,courses taken in the professional program must notduplicate courses already taken at Simon FraserUniversity and must be acceptable for transfer creditin a major or honors degree program. Candidatesmust apply for transfer credit and a bachelor’sdegree through the Office of the Registrar, SimonFraser University. Since official transcripts of thework completed in the first year of the professionalprogram are required for transfer credit purposes,application for graduation should be delayed until thesummer semester following the completion ofrequirements.

170 Science – Biochemistry

Applied mathematics consists of areas ofmathematics which are closely related to suchtraditional fields as the physical sciences andengineering, but nowadays sophisticatedmathematical tools are used over a wide spectrum ofdisciplines. With the rapid development of computersin recent years, applied mathematics is becomingincreasingly computationally oriented. Appliedmathematicians are in demand and the good studentin the field is virtually sure of an interesting careerwhether she/he chooses industrial research,government laboratory or university.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offerssufficient courses at the undergraduate level for astudent to specialize in applied mathematics. Detailsof a program for students interested in the appliedmathematics of physics and engineering are givenbelow. In addition, there are joint honors degreeprograms in mathematics and computer science andin mathematical physics, both of which can include asubstantial number of applied mathematics courses.A concentration in applied mathematics can alsoprovide an excellent basis for a career inengineering, and the programs in engineeringscience at Simon Fraser University makeconsiderable use of courses in this area.

Co-operative education is a process through whichstudents integrate work experience with academicstudies. The name reflects the co-operativerelationship between the University, the employer,and the student. Practical experience from workterms is related to students’ major interests withintheir fields of study.

A work term is typically paid, full time work of fourmonths (one term). The salary earned helps studentsfinance their education and the experience helpsvalidate career choices. The program tests students’skills and knowledge learned in the classroom, andprovides adjustment and experience in the workworld.

Admission to the ProgramCo-operative Education is mandatory for engineeringscience and optional for all other co-op programs.For information on the engineering co-op program,see the School of Engineering Science section.

Traditionally, only Canadian citizens and permanentresidents are eligible to enter optional co-opprograms. However, the co-op program seeks tobuild international involvement, and we encouragevisa students to contact the co-op office to discussparticipation opportunities. Mandatory programs areopen to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, andvisa students. Visa students in co-op programs areeligible for work permits which are only valid for jobsarranged through the co-op department.

Expression of InterestStudents may indicate on their admission applicationthat they are considering applying to co-op. Studentswho indicate this interest will be tracked by the co-opoffice and may be invited to participate in a pre-co-opcurriculum. This optional fee-for-service program,planned for a first offering in semester 1999-2, willprepare students as learners and facilitate theirsuccessful integration into the world of work. Entryinto the co-op program will not be dependent uponthe pre- co-op curriculum. However, the curriculumand recommended associated workshops will helpstudents to both enhance and more evenly distributethe activities associated with a successful applicationto co-op and participation in the employment processfor their first work term.

In-Course ApplicationInterested students should visit the co-op educationwebsite at www.sfu.ca/co-op. They should alsoattend information meetings held the first and/orsecond week of classes, and should contactappropriate co-ordinators as early in their universitycareer as possible, but no later than one semesterprior to the first work term. Transfer students shouldmake contact with the co-op office as soon aspossible and must complete at least one studysemester before engaging in a work term. Studentstransferring from an approved co-op programelsewhere, and who have successfully completedwork terms, can receive transfer credit for those workterms up to the point that they still must complete50% of their degree program, including work terms,here at Simon Fraser University.

Students are urged to apply to co-op as early aspossible. Students have the opportunity to participatein a number of recommended learning-based andemployability skills workshops that will improve theirchances of successful employment.

Acceptance into the Co-operativeEducation ProgramAcceptance into the employment process is basedon academic performance and entry interviewswhere motivation, interpersonal, and communicationskills are evaluated. Students must normally have45-60 credit hours and a CGPA of at least 2.5 beforeparticipating in the co-op employment process. Somedepartments have additional requirements.

Participation in the Co-opProgram

The Employment ProcessOnce a student is accepted into the employmentprocess portion of the program, the student canactively engage in the employment competition. Jobopportunities are identified and posted through co-op, and students may select opportunities for whichthey wish to compete. Students can choose whichpositions to apply to, may be selected for interview,and may or may not receive an offer. They have theoption to accept or decline an offer, based on thecontractual obligations and ethics associated withtheir progression in the employment process. Theseobligations are made clear to all participants at eachpoint in the employment process. Once a student hasaccepted a position, they are obligated to that workterm. A decision to renege on an employmentagreement can have academic and possibly legalramifications. Students are required to have apracticum registered with academic records (Office ofthe Registrar) once they have accepted employment.

Application form submission and/or participation inthe job competition indicates a commitment to theprogram and acceptance of the following:

• permission for release to prospective employers ofcopies of transcript

• acceptance of the job match• agreement to register in the appropriate co-

operative education course• agreement to inform Simon Fraser University of the

acceptance of any co-operative educationemployment position obtained outside of the match

• agreement to complete four (five for charteredaccountancy) co-op education work terms

Operation of the ProgramThe co-op co-ordinators negotiate work terms, meetemployers to establish employer needs, and alsomeet with students to identify objectives. Theyoversee job competition and visit students on the job,counsel and advise students, and deal with specialproblems that may arise.

Specialty OptionsStudents may also opt to find/create their ownopportunities, locally or abroad. Simon Fraser co-opis unique amongst institutions in that it offers fourformalized specialty options as part of its regular co-op program. They include:

EntrepreneurshipThis program helps students bring their ideas of aself-operated business to the marketplace. Studentsbuild a business plan with the help of co-op staff,business experts, and the business community. Theythen proceed to implement that plan as one of theirwork terms.

Self-Directed Work Search (SDWS)This formalized program helps students find theirown work, locally or abroad. Co-op guides studentsthrough the work search process and provides thesupport systems necessary to make a successfulentry into the work world. This program is highlyrecommended for students seeking work abroad,and/or trying to work in niche markets not targetedthrough co-op’s normal employment process.

193Co-operative Education

MentorshipThis program pairs a senior co-op student with asenior high school student. The university studentgains experience in work delegation, supervision andmentoring. This award-winning program is popularwith business, government, and students alike.

Co-op JapanThe co-op Japan program is a national, multi-university program established in May 1991 underthe auspices of the federal government’s Pacific2000 Japan Science and Technology Fund. Theprogram provides senior science and engineeringstudents from across Canada with the opportunity togain work experience in Japan. The goal of theprogram is to develop a pool of young Canadianengineers and scientists with hands-on experience inJapanese industrial engineering and researchpractices.

Program Prerequisites• third or fourth year student currently enrolled full

time in the in the schools of Engineering Science orComputing Science and/or the Faculty of Science

• CGPA of 3.33 (B+)• minimum of one Japanese language credit course

or two non-credit courses, or equivalent experience,and completion of a four week immersion Japaneselanguage and culture program sponsored by the co-op Japan program

• time commitment is 8-12 months• minimum eligible age 19 years• Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada• English language fluency

Student information packages are available from theco-operative education office, MBC 1100.

Work SequenceThe work study chart below shows a possible workterm and study semester pattern. An alternatingsequence, beginning before year three, provides thebest learning structure. Other combinations can bearranged to meet student and employer needs, aslong as employer requirements for students in the falland spring terms are met. Students may not endtheir chosen sequence on a work term .

Co-op FeesCo-op is a value-added educational experience, andas such, has associated participation fees. Currently,a co-op fee is charged for each and every workpracticum in which the student enrols. These feesare tax deductible. For further information see theUndergraduate Fees section.

Graduation Requirements

Degree ProgramFour work terms (five for the CA program) must besuccessfully completed for completion of a degreewith a co-op designation. Successful completion of awork term includes a passing grade (comprised ofboth a work project evaluation and a workperformance evaluation) and compliance withminimum standards of participation. (A work term istypically full time employment for 13-16 weeks induration.) Students who meet this condition will haveco-op designated on their degree (except bachelor ofscience – co-operative education).

Certificate OptionBeginning in semester 1998-3, students (except CAand engineering) who attempt and successfullycomplete three work terms may apply to the co-opoffice for a certificate of completion. The sameperformance criteria as noted above are required forthe certificate option. Students will receive acertificate stating they have successfully completedthe minimum requirements of the Simon Fraser co-operative education program, but will not receiverecognition on their actual degree, nor will they beeligible for further work terms in their currentprogram.
