The transition of Kwantlen University College into Kwantlen Polytechnic University has meant thatthe institution must offer a full range of degree opportunities within the university and specificallywithin the School of Business To that end the Marketing Department has been meeting since the

Additionally Kwantlensmandate to offer relevant sustainable timely leading edge and appliedinterdisciplinary business degrees provided further guidance and direction The BBA in MarketingManagement builds on the institutionsstrengths in Marketing Accounting EntrepreneurialLeadership Marketing Communications and Information Technology while offering opportunitiesto link these disciplines with several other areas at the University These other programs includeHorticulture where graduates starting their own business require these skills and Health Scienceswhere the health care system must beconie more business minded as funding restrictions create newbusiness and marketing challenges The program structure essentially draws on the strengths ofcurrent School of Business programs
The program content incorporates studentbased research inquiry community involvement andpracticality in creating graduates that are in line with Kwantlen core values and market needs Allstudent projects done within local industries and communities will strengthen our community basedapproach The rigour that we have included in our program setting will make students accountable tothemselves to their peers to project clients and particularly to the objectives that they set which willpromote program excellence This prograin also creates opportunities that would encourageexploration of new ideas and global perspectives that would allow students to approach oldproblems in a new way

1 Traditional Face to Face Classroom Format
Kwantlen Polytechnic UniversityBBA in Marketing Management
FPP Page 13
Delivery methods
The program will allow for traditional and innovative delivery methods The following sections willhighlight different delivery formats identified for this program
The traditional classroom based formats will include lectures written and video cases to support
applied learning carrying out assignments and client based projects with real life situations forstudents to get a firsthand experience in applying classroom content to the business world
Simulations to experience marketing practices would help clarify content and current events to beinformed about what is being applied in corporate settings would also be included Teaching willalso be supported with small group activities assignments academic research presentationsdebates discussions role play and inclass product analysis Assessments will be based on testsexams quizzes written projects peer evaluations on line business launch etc To further enrichstudent learning experiences field visits and workshops will be arranged when applicable Expertguest speakers will be invited to face to face classroom interactions possibly supplemented by suchtools as webinars Students will also have the opportunity to use publisher student supports such aswebsites selftest summary activities reviews etc Students will participate in sales competitionsand will be required to develop portfolios and learning journals The above activities are currentlyused frequently in teaching many courses within the department
2 Blended Learning Systems
The student survey carried out during the program concept development stage indicated that 44 ofstudents favoured using online and other computer assisted mediums for learning The departmentwould like to use blendedhybrid learning systems to further add value to these new courses Wewould like to use the following definition to highlight what we mean by blended learning
Blended learning systems will combine face to face instruction with computer mediated instructionCharles Graham 2006
This would essentially mean that some of the courses in the program will use a mix of face to faceand computer assisted instruction in which online learning will also be incorporated to supplementthe student learning experience We plan to use Moodie or other appropriate platform asestablished by Kwantlen 1ET which is currently supported by our institution as one of the mainplatforms to deliver the blended learning activities suggested below
Revised3222010 1158 AM
Fit with our Program
Reasons why blended learning would fit well with our program
Develops practical experience using the emerging tools about which they are learningExpands students perspectives about the potential of such tools by learning through new mediaSuggests possibilities of extending use beyond simple socialrecreational interactionsComplements existing group work practicesDelivers greater flexibility for student time management and alternative delivery optionsSupports constructivist learning most appropriate at higher levels of adult learning
The Possibilities
In terns of course delivery and assessments the following are some possibilities that the marketingdepartment has identified that would be incorporated in the courses
Carrying out assignments with an online componentSupporting the development of MarketingBusiness PlansDeveloping a Meta Course for Marketing All students registered in a MRKT course would beautomatically registered to this Meta course This will create an opportunity for a Kwantlen
marketing community uniting studeius across campuses and across different courses and levels
Students could find department policies code of conduct templates for assignments peerevaluations faculty profiles etc
Completing an EPortfolio which would be an online collection of student work representativeof their BBA Marketing Management learning experiences This will encourage integration ofleaming across courses and provide a vehicle of reflection for students to recognize theirprogress and growing competencies It will also support graduate job searches showcasing bothcontent and technology skills In order to implement this the Mahara eportfolio system whichis currently supported by Kwantlen could be used as a platform Each of the six new courses
designed for years three and four will allocate grades for adding course work to the portfolio
implementation
We plan to implement this in several phases
Phase One Traditional Delivery with Moodle Support for Existing Courses

Faculty members are to use Moodie Sites that include the course presentation weeklycontent for topics and areas of study and resources and activities to support classroom workfor existing coursesUse of online assignment submission discussion boards quizzes grade book etc areencouraged but are optional

Phase Two Blended Courses are developed for each of the new Marketing courses
Courses are developed through a committee of faculty members who are expecting to teachthe blended course
Committee development is intended to share workload across teams and ensure consistencyfor students
Blended delivery replaces traditional classroom contact by 30 at minimumTemplate for Preparing a Blended Learning Course Outline Blended Learning in HigherEducation Framework Principles and Guidelines D Randy Garrison Norman DVaughan 2008Students will be briefed to develop their EPortfolio contributions
Phase Three Success of blended marketing classes drives blended delivery development for othercourses in the program
Collaboration and cooperation of other departments is required to deliver a truly blendeddegree
Specific professional development activities for our existing faculty members in order to supportphase one and two will be discussed later in this proposal
3 Accelerated Flexible Delivery
The student survey carried out during the program development stage highlighted a high preferencefor intensive delivery formats The accelerated flexible delivery format will enable the degree to beperceived competitively as compared with other institutions Currently Kwantlen has a 7weekscheduling model used for the summer semester The Marketing Department would like use thisscheduling model to offer courses in an accelerated flexible delivery format in the summer semesterand throughout the year in both or either the fall and spring semesters when this can be supported byKwantlen We suggest offering this as follows during weekday and weekends FridaySaturdaySunday when Kwantlen opens classrooms on Sundays
Weekdays two 3 hour blocks per week and the course to run for seven weeksWeekends FridaySaturdaySunday one 6hour block per week and the course to run for sevenweeks
During the seven weeks period students could take two courses with the accelerated flexibledelivery format and for any one semester a maximum of four courses to be offered to students inthis format Students could take two accelerated courses with other regular courses will be subjectto the maximum number of courses a student could take This we believe would allow our studentsto take courses meeting their schedules without compromising the rigour course outcomes orimpact on other courses This option may not apply to all courses in the program as some coursesrequire extensive client based consultations that typically cant be structured in a seven weeksemester We envision offering the flexible delivery format as student need arises and as consistentwith course and degree outcomes Entry into the program for non business majors will be ideally

4 Speaker Series and Experts in the Classroom
Kwantlen Polytechnic UniversityBBA in Marketing Management
FPP Page 16
In order to make the classroom content more relevant and current BBA in Marketing Managementstudents will be exposed to regular speaker series events In order to source speakers thedepartment will liaise with various marketing associations For example based on some initialdiscussions with the British Columbia Association for Integrated Marketers BCAIM thisassociation will help find speakers for the program and an honorarium would be paid to theassociation This will be delivered to a general audience of students and each faculty member willensure their students take part in these events In order to encourage student participation facultymembers will follow up with course work based on the speaker series which would be submitted forcourse marks The speaker series will also be recorded and would be podcasted for later review TheMeta course Moodle site for the department will be used as a destination for these podcasts to belinked Expert subject specific speakers may also be accessed via webinars YouTube and other on
line topic appropriate resources
The speakers will be invited to carry out a private faculty meetingpresentation after the serieswhich will be Professional Development PD for faculty members The details of this will bedescribed in the three point PD plan that will be presented later In addition to these seriesindividual faculty members will also invite experts in their own field to the classroom to speak tostudents on relevant topic areas The department also plans to organize a marketing conference forboth faculty and students that will be based on current themes
The department will also encourage students to register and take part in various competitions thatare directly relevant to the BBA in Marketing Management content These would be marketingcompetitions as organized by the Simon Fraser University practicum simulation competitionsGoogle Ad Words competition etc Participating in these activities will further open opportunitiesfor students to be recognized in their own areas of expertise as well as raising the profile of theprogram
We are also suggesting that students who are active in student organizations be granted bursaries toattend conferences from funds sourced through the Kwantlen Foundation Scholarship and theBursary Program and through specific named scholarships from the business community asdeveloped by students in such courses as MRKT2360 Selling and Sales Management course Thiswill encourage student participation in industry and other events associated with their discipline andincrease the profile of the students

We are suggesting that our students be involved with other student projects across other facultiesthat would provide relevant exposure to improve real world application of cross faculty knowledgeFor example the new marketing course Managing the Communications Process will teach studentshow to manage web site and graphics development along with other media formats This will allowstudents to carry out projects with the GDMA program where the designers and marketing strategyplanners work together in managing the clientagency interaction This type of cross departmentalproject could also be done with other departments such as Public Relations and InformationSystems
Employability skills have been an integral part of all Kwantlen courses since the early days of theinstitution With our current polytechnic status the BBA in Marketing Management programessence is about providing our students with contemporary applied marketing skills and a soundmanagement foundation in helping organizations to succeed in a global context
In meeting this essence incorporating a coop model to the program would be a key differentiatorThe marketing faculty of the School of Business has a history of working closely with the CoopDepartment in encouraging students to take coop in their first and the second year levels of studyThe following would be the suggested coop model for different student groups who enter theprogram at different levels to the BBA in Marketing Management degree
A diploma student who takes the two co op work terms in years one and two enters the BBA inMarketing in year three and wishes to have the Coop designation for the degree will be required todo two more work terms in years three and four and will be awarded 18 additional coop creditsWhen graduating from the degree they will have completed four work terms with 36 coop creditsand have completed three coop courses in the diploma which are Coop 1101 2101 and 2301
A diploma student who enters the BBA in Marketing in year three without coop in years one andtwo and wishes to have the Coop designation for the degree will be required to do two work termsin years three and four and be awarded 18 coop credits and will also be required to complete Coop1101 When graduating from the degree this student will have two work terms and have completedCoop 1101
A student who enters the BBA in Marketing Management in year one and who wishes to have a Coop designation will be required to do two work terms in years three and four which will be awarded18 coop credits They will be also required to complete Coop 1101 When graduating from thedegree this student will have two work terms and have completed Coop 1101 Alternatively thestudent also has the option to complete the 2 work terms in the marketing diploma first 2 years ofthe degree and then complete 2 more work terms in the 3rd and 4th year If this option is takenthen when graduating from the degree the student will have 4 work terms and 36 coop credits
The above options have been discussed with the Coop department and both departments haveagreed on this model to be applied to this degree

In order to make our program more current and relevant we would be aligning our program eventswith various marketing associations and would like to form industry partnerships with such firms asCossette West a full service Vancouver based advertising agency We would work with the
BCAIM BCAMA chapter for students and encourage our students to attend their meetings Wewould explore the opportunities to conduct webinars from these meetings We would also like torelease researchpress releases to these organizations about studentfaculty research developmentsFaculty members will be involved in this process and will provide education liaison support to the
students in this process

technologiesonline is really good As well the work ready resonates when I graduated with my BComm I didnt have a goodappreciation for workplace dynamics when I worked with coop students in various jobs I saw the value of the practical side tounderstand that the work setting is quite different from the university setting I also think a new grad can go a long way on beingenergetic and motivated to learn but not too much of a keener that they think they should take on the world by themselves Solidanalytical skills and the ability to put together conclusions from data is really important to me regardless of the job this is a good frameof reference
What do you think todays is lacking in todaysgraduatesBoy Im showing my age kids these daysdontseem to have a what can I contribute attitude it is more of what can you do formy resume Frankly they arent really humble they think they deserve the best and arent willing to earn their stripes I have hadyoung workers ask if they can hire someone to do the photocopying I and complain as a new recruit that they arent in a window officeIt will be interesting to see what happens in the recession to this cohort who has never been told no
What additional skills would make a Marketing graduate extraordinaryAn extraordinary grad is one who is thoughtful listens asks relevant questions twice as much listening as talkingtelling your opinion isa good rule of thumb then takes initiative to dig a bit deeper and contribute more than is expected This is not someone stealing theshow or throwing in their ideas that might not be on strategy but someone who makes their bosss job easier and builds trust that theywill deliver Someone who sincerely asks why things are being done and takes the time to understand what the objectives are and howthey can contribute Self motivation is really important as is teamwork
What additions or comments would you make to the draft proposal attachedThe proposal looks like a great outline I think I could learn a thing or two for sure The one area that I really value is a solid groundingin research and analysis That might be a good addition primary research is good for the brain in terms of identifying patterns anddrawing conclusions Other piece of analytics that might be good to add in would be within database marketing campaign evaluationsrecent grads that I look for should have the ability to analyse data and come to conclusions I call this dont just tell me what tell meso what and what next conclusions implications indicated actions especially good if they can come to some hypotheses inabsence of full information
Ken Milloy As a first comment I like what you are proposing and the inclusion of change etca broader perspective than most programs to be sureEmployee and a nice direction to goEngagement What skills abilities and talents do you think a Marketing grad should have todayConsultant This is a very difficult questionand 1 am going to leave out the obvious stuff20and beyond are a given now
The most important set of skills relate to basic interpersonal and communication skills talking presenting summarizing being friendlyetc a second area would be in the arena of teamwork team membership and collaboration all very critical in todays businessenvironment
I believe they should have a clear understanding of the business world at large and an ability to view things from that

perspectivemarketing applied to the business not the business applied to marketing too often grads and interns know what they havebeen taught and that isallthey take that knowledge and look for ways of using it My preference would be that they understood thebusiness and then sought solutions to the marketing needThey must also be prepared to participatebusinesses today do not have the luxury of waiting for people to participate andcontributethey need to be able to step in and contribute immediately
What do you think is lacking in todaysgraduatesA clear understanding of business and how business operatesboth from a process perspective the what and how of the firm and apeople perspective the culture etcStrategic thinking and understandingawhole system approachtoo often they arc very narrow minded top be expected and I wouldlike to see consulting and project skills

Wilcox PRThe only piece missing is the social media component All of the people in my office do all their research communicating andnewspaper reading online This is critical that your students can learn how to use these applications Our business has changed onehundred percent in the past year because of this I suggest tutorial on twitter faccbook rss feeds fan pages measurement tools foronlinethis is the future and they need to know how to use them properly for marketing purposes not as a tool for talking to theirbuddies

Sometimes what I find lacking in todays graduates is basic foundations For instance who cares if someone knows all about how to runa campaign using Facebook if they dont understand the basics of management information needs types of applications and good datarepository structures Theyll gather information but using it to mine and gather for instance market segment data will beimpossible
I have not hired a BBA as yet at AMBIT I have several MBAs an MSc in Business and someone who did a GDBA I year graduatedegree in business admin at SFU following a science degree Most of the rest of our staff have undergraduate or graduate degrees inmath science or engineering We have one lonely BA in English What I generally find is that even though we screen for writing skillsswitching to business writing requires deprogramming them from writing for educational purposes for instance use plain language keepit short and direct You may be planning to cover this in Advanced Professional Communication but that sounds more advanced andtechnical in nature
We like to hire people that are analytical good with quantitative tasks and good communicators both verbally and in writing that alsoshow leadership potential We can teach the technical aspects of project management business analysis and consulting I dont seemuch in the way of quantitative coursework here but again that might be covered in 2 years of general businessIm not sure if any program would make any graduate extraordinary Thats usually built into them people are wired right for us or notand we can generally spot it

Gregory Krysa What skills abilities and talents do you think a Marketing grad should have todayBeing an online marketing manager I believe very strongly in the fact that online has become more and more an important part of anymarketing program What 1d like to see are more people in this field who see online marketing for the powerful engagement medium thatit is rather than TVs poor cousin
What do you think is lacking in todaysgraduatesI wouldntwant to generalize in this case plus I havent been hiring that many recent graduates to have a good sample I think there aredefinitely people out there who leave school and havent had enough experiences to know when theyve found a pretty good thing Thenagain Im sure thats been going on since time began because I was exactly the same when I graduated
What additional skills would make a Marketing graduate extraordinaryAs I mentioned above online marketing is just going to become more and more integral in any marketing mix Something that 1 look forin job candidates is a firsthand experience with new media and social channels For example I ask everyone if they have their own blogBlogs have been around for years and theres nothing overly technical about them However they are extremely powerful marketingvehicles both product and personal and while its very easy to sit in a boardroom and recommend launching a blog for a brand or acampaign its something completely different to have visceral knowledge of how hard it actually is to run a blog and keep it interestingand engaging to your audience
David Bernard I There are some obvious ones here that never change communication particularly the art of listening so much of marketing isUnited Way of the assessing clientorganizational need written communication skills often not found in BCITpolytechnic grad sometimes I find I hireLower Mainland someone who has combined University and practical training Versatile because many students are not ready to specialize until they
have significant generalist experience under their belts Passion for the work
2 The inability to problem solve and to focus on the strategic level Again 1 worry that too much emphasis is placed on tactical andpractical to jump to an execution before we have adequately analysed the problem and developed an overriding strategy I find casestudies serve this purpose very effectively
3 I think the biggest piece missing is the connection between the student and the world out there I am stunned by the lack of knowledgeinterviewees have about whats going on in their city which is often their marketplace I often ask candidates who their favouritecolumnists or writers are What the key issues in community are key social trends for example I discovered why my son who isattending Western in 3rd year was not responding to my emails as it turns out he ignores them in favour of text messaging in otherwords the channel of communication I was using was not appropriate We make assumptions about the world that as marketers result inmistakes if we have not carefully qualified our strategy and plan against todaysconsumer behaviour etc that means we must be constantobserversresearchers
4 Stronger strategic planning component more casework plan development often curriculum tends to leave this late in the term butperhaps an early exposure to this would enable students to see where their shortfalls are And yes there are new media channels butsurprisingly the same principles of marketing apply in planning and development
Andreas Schwartz Yes todays marketing is taking on new channels but what we are also seeing is a paradigm shift in how consumers are receiving mediaCanada Post it has become a pull not push world Something I preach about at my seminars So what a lot of marketing departments are struggling

Direct Marketing with and it is specific to each industrybusiness is how to optimize each media It is about a deeper understanding of the strengths andweaknesses of each media and how to best reach and retain your potential customersEnvironmental impact of marketing decisions we are just starting to see the issues of corporate environmental responsibilities play out
across the globe but with the next 3 5 years almost every business will require a corporate sustainability plan Although marketers wontneed to write this but which marketing channels they decide to use may have an overall corporate impact IE Is email more envirofriendly than email or newspaper Although not conclusive yet but it looks likeewaste has a bigger impact than the print and recyclingprocess
Production knowledge on a personal level when I did hire students on a project or summer basis very few if any had firsthandknowledge about the production process for any media including an appreciation of time to create approve produce and distribute Itwould be great if students could see firsthand the insides of printing machines ecommerce infrastructure TV production etc With a littlemore hands on knowledge of what it takes there might be a better appreciation for time and budget
Victoria Pritchard What skills abilities and talents do you think a Marketing grad should have todaySenior Project We can teachshow you how to do something we cant do much with your attitude or your way of beingit is what it is AstoundingManager to me is the high degree of entitlement of what new grads will and will not do Every project has the unsexy parts and they need to beTELUS TV done tooand that would be you Eagerly stepping up in a growth mindset and doing the drab boring parts of each project is really
important So I dont really care so much about your skills abilities and care even less about your talents Talent too often lives in a fixedmindset and gone wrong breeds entitlement and bad behaviour
What do you think todays is lacking in todaysgraduates Our new grad program has a mixed bag of peoplesome mediocre andsome stellarthey all come to us with a BComm so lets make an assumption that they have a similar skill set benchmark What sets thestellar ones from the mediocre in my experience sits in their interpersonal skill set Dontwant to put the time in on the jobmaybe it isthe right way I dont know Entitlement 8AM4PM hours is a lame recipe and I see it all the timeWhat additional skills would make a Marketing graduate extraordinary Positive flexible attitude political navigation skills They soundlike platitudes however it is surprising

What do you think is lacking in todaysuniversity graduatesConfidence I think a lot of new graduates come out of school feeling like they really havent learned anything tangible That coupledwith the constant feedback that University graduates arentjob ready makes it difficult to walk into an interview and proclaim that youare the ideal candidate for a job This may be particularly challenging for a marketing graduate someone that is supposed to be skilled atpositioning a product If they cantsell themselves a product for which they are the expert how will they sell a companysproduct orbrand
Todaysgraduates come out of school with a depth of skills that are rarely fully utilized Often both the student and the future employerfail to mine those skills to their potential Sometimes I believe the real key is not in training students on how to enter the work world butrather how to prepare business to capitalize on the evolving skill set of new graduates
On the graduate side students need to be better equipped in relationship management skills Soft interpersonal skills are critical inbusiness They form the basis of every professional interaction You cant convince a client that your marketing strategy is solid if youcant first establish credibility Requiring students to have some kind of demonstrated networking and relationship management skillswould serve them well
What additional skills would make a Marketing graduate extraordinary
Being Connected Business is about relationships Marketing is about understanding people about knowing your audience A candidatethat is connected to the community involved in volunteer organizations is more likely to have a comprehensive personal network Notonly does this mean they have some core interpersonal skills but it means they have an already established network that can only help theorganization with whom they work We rely on personal networks every day You either need to already have an evolving network orknow how to build one

Lisa Geddes What skills abilities and talents do you think a Marketing grad should have todayWhile this might sound silly I believe that they should understand what Marketing is or at least understand the varied interpretations
of what it is and its purpose within an organization I find that for a lot of young people Marketing is about cool agencies design andpretty collateral and not about strategy and understanding the business
Clearly new grads need the basics the 4 Ps etc along with emerging trends and opportunities created through new technology
They need to know that marketing and marketing strategy is about the business and about numbers not about cool graphics and funkyagencies
They need to know about market segmentation and about defining their target audiences really really well
They absolutely need to understand empathy they are not creating products messages services or programs for themselves they aredoing it for someone else if they cant live inside their customertarget audiences mind they cant work in marketingitsnot aboutthem
They need to be able to communicate clearly being proficient in both writing skills and presentation skills
Innovativecritical thinking and new ideas marketers need to challenge convention and look for solutions to problems that others dontsee Oftentimes people are quick to look for a formula or to try a better version of what someone else has already done To beinnovative marketers need to understand that great ideas are not likely going to be born looking internally within their organization butthat they will have to focus much of their time and attention externally on customers and also a varied range of interesting andsometimes unusual sources for inspiration and innovative thought
Young marketers need to be able to synthesize their thinking clearly It may sound trite but so many young graduates today cant spell oruse proper grammar or cant work their way through an impactful PowerPoint presentation Having those skills will put them at acompetitive advantage vs others
What do you think is lacking in todays graduatesAbility to understand create and contribute to strategy I find that so many young people focus on tactics and plans but the concept ofdevclosin a real stmt is lost on them I have vet to sec a oun marketin or communications Irofessional come in with a solid

understanding of strategy and even when part of a broader and well supported process an ability to create or even contribute tointellectually elegant plans and strategies ones in which the logic flow regarding their objectives environment target audience analysisand competitive analysis yields appropriate messages and tactics Often they are so enamoured with a tactic or message that their plansdont make sense or worse they dont know where to start
What additional skills would make a Marketing graduate extraordinaryThat they understand the highlevel strategy side and how it is driving what they are responsible for in the shortterm They need to be
able to intellectually understand overall strategies on the one hand and yet be very detail oriented managers of a critical path and tacticson the other hand If they can connect these things they will be extraordinary and it will enable them to be strong leaders within theorganization as well as externally to various stakeholder groups In the absence of understanding the high level strategy and details of thebusiness their ability to be effective is limited
I also believe that as a marketer you need to understand the rational side of people as well as the emotional I find that educators focuslargely on the rational and not enough on the emotional Understanding both contributes to effective relationship management bothinternally and externally enhances leadership abilities and enables marketers to appeal to customersaudiences in a more powerful wayIn a nutshell marketing is both an art and a science to be extraordinary you have to be able to do both
What additions or comments would you make to the draft proposal attachedI think the proposal is pretty solid offering a well rounded educationComments would include
needs greater emphasis on business strategy and connection to marketingmarketing strategy as per so many of my commentsaboveneeds some focus on branding and brand management the basics of which are essential to all business professionals butparticularly marketing professionals who must be brand champions within their organizationthis is probably too detailed but I would love to see the communications courses have a component dedicated to storytelling or anarrative approach to business communications as it has proven to be so powerful and impactful in the field

Georgia Dahle Overall Georgia was very impressed with the proposal second roundBCAMA The basic courses in years 34 were appropriatePresident and
Corporate Her main concerns were that grads have very strong interpersonal skills in securing agreement persuasively in conflict resolution andCommunications in appreciating the broader context of MarketingDirector Mr Lube For instance Cause Marketing where great innovation and creativity are needed outside of traditional marketingInterviewed byKeith Wallace She spoke warmly of a course at Capilano University where the prof dropped the course text and required a BCAMA membership
instead gave a much broader appreciation of contemporary business also facilitated mentoring and real world projects really helpedstudents get ahead and gave a sense of passion
Georgia stressed the importance of the practicum and classes in Consumer Behaviour and Business LawShe was opposed to non diploma program entrants foregoing the bridging classesShe liked all the year 34 classes except the Advanced Professional Communication belongs in year I she stressed
Could be a strong Advisory Board member

Overall Evi was very impressed with the proposal second roundSkills in digital forms of Marketing are sorely neededFrom a Marketing Research perspective Evi was concerned with the possible omission of classes in Marketing Research and ConsumerBehaviour in years 34 of the BBA MMShe points out that while much research is going online traditional methods are still vital and Marketing Grads will need to have a goodunderstanding of MR methods in order to be good users of MR informationShe was less concerned with the loss of possible bridging classes in Business many MR practitioners come from a social science bgnot business
Evi commented on the entry process into UBCsCommerce degree based both on GPA and on community involvement consequentlytheir students are apparently very outgoing and socially engaged

I What skills abilities and talents do you think a Marketing grad should have todayIts paramount that the skills being learned are relevant to real world processes Having teachers that are active in the fields like BCITand VFS can help with this A professional advisory is also a good idea
Todaysmarketer needs to approach everything from an integrated perspective They need to have a strong grasp of online marketingranging from SEO to social networking to PPC campaigns They need to understand and appreciate branding design and theimportance of standards and consistency PR is another oft overlooked aspect of marketingthe fact is good marketing gets talked aboutso media is a great place to look for influence and reference
2 What do you think is lacking in todays graduatesMany students come in looking for jobs and they are not even familiar with trade magazines international and national award shows oronline marketing resources These are points of reference that agencies touch everyday students should be exposed to the real industryas early into the learning process as possible Maybe this is a matter of ensuring that the library is stocking the right publications
3 What additional skills would make a Marketing graduate extraordinaryExtraordinary marketing graduates typically have applied their theoretical knowledge in real world scenarios A strong coop programand agency walk throughs are a great way to get their feet wet We often hire coop students or interns at the end of an evaluation processas well so this is a good feeder program for your graduates

description of the Integrated Communication course description as this is clearly missing It was in there but not mentioned3 The Marketing Management degree promise
Contemporary marketing skill with a classic foundation of marketing and business fundamentalsMore practical than SFU and UBCNot a job program so better than BCIT because as a degree clearly prepares people for higher potential in their organizations
4 Give me someone who knows what to do best quote from the day5 Ideas worth considering
Project portfolio to demonstrate accomplishment in job interviews eg market study business plan blog etcCoop is a must if they come with real skills alreadyConcern about value of practicum students to the company Certainly the tasks in a coop were not sufficient to be a major capstone projectProjects could carry over across coursesShould the final project be individual or group or both A common project would encourage competition but individual projects allow student toexplore their own interestsHow to introduce disruption sudden change of situation to test resiliencymentorship and connection with industry will keep perspectives in placehow to get some sex appeal into the first year of courses Maybe some interesting project in the first year to keep the excitement high

Missing Who are the industry players in this space and what do they do Ad agencies are expanding to bring on their teamsinteractive specialist houses or at a minimum subbing out to these houses Teaching students how they work together how thead world is evolving and how they fit together will give them a huge step forward At the end of the day understanding why andwhat is important but it is the how we often overlook and is what makes us money
This course is not only important but should be mandatory It probably would be mandatory if it wasnt over the head of mostMarketing profs

Perry Chua I Is this course of value for marketing graduates Please explain Certainly I am glad to see such a course offered Theonline world and its many growing facets social media etc is only going to get bigger
2 In your opinion what are the 3 most important elements of this course and whyo Techniques for improving online customer experienceo Emerging trends in online marketingo The Social Web
The online experience is far different than its offline counterpart attention span behaviour search patterns etc We need tobe putting as much focus on the online customersbrand touchpoints as we do in say a retail environment We make sure theperson standing behind the cashier is polite efficient and understands the importance of personal service Why should theonline shopping cartcheckout experience be any less important
We have to be on the lookout constantly for new ways to reach our customer The social aspect of marketing or speaking toour audience is changing everyday with emerging technology We need to ask ourselves whats next Where do ourcustomers turn to when they cant find what theyre looking for And how quickly do they expect it Social web communityis where real cut information exists
3 Is there anything that you would suggest be added to the course
Not really Id rather see these topics covered in greater detail as opposed to more topics skimming the surface
Tricia Burton I reviewed the course outline and it looks very good I could only think of a couple of things I would recommendPrincipal Tricia Burton Under Writing Skills would it be useful to include some copy writing skills Most marketers have to write copy themselvesConsulting Under Mathematical skills I would include more than just calculating conversion rates I would include exercises on calculating
ROI for an ad buy or campaign and forecasting and this encompasses CPC or CPM CTR Cony rate average order value profitetc
To answer your questionsI 1 would say that yes this course valuable as every marketer today needs to under some basics about online marketing and themore you know the better2 This is a tough one to answer as there is a lot covered in the course Most important is the methodology used in teaching I
think I believe that having students work on case studies is the probably best way to really immerse them or getting hands onexperience working with real businesses Each business is different and it is important to know how to tailor initiatives whatdo you differently vs what do all businesses need Driving traffic and converting customers are always very important ofcourse but those involve a lot of different tactics and strategies

Techniques for improving online customer experience assists with conversion and up selling Critical to keepingcustomers interested especially in our ADD state online
3 Is there anything that you would suggest be added to the course
Yes I think there should be a segment on how to capture audience online Where is the best place to find your targetaudience How do you engage them to visit your sitesign up
Mr Scan Weller I Is this course of value for marketing graduates Please explainSupervisor StrategicServices Yes absolutely Students need to understand marketing holistically how to manage the brand across all touch points and withWasserman Partners different audiences
2 In your opinion what are the 3 most important elements of this course and whyManaging the brand holistically across all touch points and audiences its critical to understand the concept of abrand and how to manage it across the organization and across different marketing initiativesMeasurementevaluation to be successful in marketing you need to show how your initiatives are measurable andmeeting business objectivesBeing able to put together a strategy whether it is for PR a sales promo media plan etc Being able to coherently andstrategically link business objectives to marketing objectives and through to communications programs is important
3 Is there anything that you would suggest be added to the course
The learning outcomes and content are quite comprehensive and reflect core areas that a graduate should be familiar with Morecould be added but adding more would sacrifice the time dedicated to these core conceptsOne thought would be to make sure the measurementevaluation is related to business objectives not merely tactical orcommunications objectives Ie Business objectives to increase sales move market share increase purchase intent etc versusjust increase brand awareness

The most important would be the interpersonal skills gained alignment of the companysbrand goal with the opportunities andthe evaluation of the event gone by already
3 Is there anything that you would suggest be added to the course
For EActive marketing I would add social media unless thats what you entail under that heading this has become the way ofcommunication and should be taught a bit more in depth than beforeI notice under mathematical skills you cover return on investment etc Analysis is very important In this section so perhaps havea few other exercises our franchisees often ask for reports with analysis of cost of goods ROI forecasted profit and sales etcAnother important component is learning how to compose a promo summary report with results quantitative and qualitativeperhaps include in writing skills

KPU MARKETING DEGREE COURSE OUTLINE OBSERVATIONS
Integrated Marketing Communications IMCI VALUE This is an excellent course and It provides the kind of 360 degree approach to marketing that is consistent withthe way the industry has evolved The contents and essential skills provide a good broad based platform for any marcommstudent Today modern marketing and communications are much more integrated into the total business life of an organizationAnd I think its important for students to understand this expanded role Part of it is the dynamic connectedness that technology
allows for Pan of it is the need to hamass every asset an organization has to help them break through the clutter and succeedAnd part of it is the heightened emphasis on ROI
2 THE 3 MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS I cant point to specific course elements here rather what is most importantare a couple of issues that 1 think the course can address in providing graduates with the best preparation for the modern marketalso see additional elements I Understanding the potential role of modern marketing and communications in theTOTAL business life of an organization Its missionvision culture business and organizational development recruitment andretention As mentioned elsewhere this may require either additional elements or a slight change in emphasis to focus on thiskey aspect of communications teaming 2 An emphasis on the kind of strategic thinking that connects the dots and allowsorganizations to see both the value and the methods for leveraging all of their business assets 3 Again its the idea ofcombining all these marcomm activities and skills that is mnct valuable for a modem professional
3 ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS a See above I believe tither an additional course clement or special emphasis would beneeded to draw attention to the expanded role of modern marketing and communications and its potential to have apositive impact on a wide spectrum of business and organizational concerns missionvision culture business and organizationaldevelopment etc b The Calendar Description is actually quite good in talking about the need for alignment coherentintegration brand maximizing ROI etc The only thing 1 would suggest is that strategic planning should also beemphasized up front because any integrated approach by its very nature is going to need a robust strategic thinking process toconnect the dots Both to draw all the elements together and to analyze their effectiveness Its important that integration notjust be seen as consistent marketing vehicles or media synergy Integration is also about aligning ALL the activities propertiesand mission of an organization around a clear strategic focus and modern marcomm has a bigger role than ever to play in thatThe breadth of this approach is quite well represented in your Content and Skills section It just needs to be given a strongemphasis off the top
Its important to note as well that no matter what role a graduate takes in the marketplace its valuable to have an integratedmindset That helps both the understanding of the importance ofspecific linefunctions within the overall process as well as theability to manage effectively if one is in a position ofcommand and control
Managing the Communication Process
I VALUE What I like about this course is the emphasis on process and management as well as creativity and communicationsLots of individuals and organizations are creative but fail to recognize the need to manage efficiently in a business environmentLooks good
Kwantlen Polytechnic UniversityBBA in Marketing Management
FPP Page 122
2 THE 3 MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS 1 As outlined in the Calendar description seeing the full arc of a project fromstrategy through creative delivery and measurement is critical 2 Managing relationships is also key Understanding theimportance of this and doing it well will serve a graduate well at any level throughout their entire career 3 Understanding theroleneeds of design and writingcontent development in a range of media is important This is one that may need a bit moreemphasis on how the digital environment and media have changed see additional elements
3 ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS The overall approach is great You said in your email that this Marketing degree will focus ondigital communication So in this particular course the only thing I might add is either a new element or increased emphasis onhow much digital communication and media have changed I believe youve covered it in various places But it cant beemphasized too much how the web and communications in general have evolved beyond the web site which was once and inmany cases still is just a brochure online Some of this might be similar to Integrated Marketing Communications and forgood reason The new communicatons landscape is a much more pervasive 247 environment that combines social media thetwitterverse Flickr You Tube wikis portals blogs etc delivered on mulitple platforms from desktops to laptops smart phonesnet books iPads etc
I think Managing the Communication Process needs to draw attention to the challenge of creating and executing within thisnew universe How it impacts and connects to traditional media how concepts and communication projects have to work in sucha multiplatform communal environment and especially how not to be seduced by the new and shiny and stay focused onsound resultsoriented strategies and responsible ROI If this can be articulated up front with some key criteria or principles thatwould be great
Overall great stuff
Thx

Valder Belgrave Integrated Marketing Communications looks fairly comprehensive and appears to cover most of the bases The sectionMarketing Manager currently titled Mathematical Skills Id change to Financial Analysis Skills and I have to admit that Im not familiar with theJustice Institute term eactive marketing but Ill assume that it includes the range of on line and social media toolsTraining Services
I suspect that MarketConsumer research is delivered as an entirely separate course but I think it would be useful to bookend thiscourse with researchat the front end to define customer stakeholdersemployees communications needs and set objectiveswhich also sets up a basis for evaluating the success of the communications at the close It must be the impact of the Olympicsbut I find myself particularly attuned to the value of Sponsorship in the communications mix Is that going to be touched upon
As for the three most important elements well how long is a piece of string The importance of any single clement issituational but I think Understand the customeraudience needs would fill my top three spots in most circumstances A closefourth would be the Evaluation piece as its through that learning that we are able to ensure that marketing dollars areeffectivelyappropriately spent But planning precedes evaluation so defining the objectives needs tocome first

I note that one of the broad objectives you identify for the Managing the Communications Process course is to teach thefundamentals of good agency relationships From my perspective the most important factor is ensuring that youve selectedthe right agency for your organization at the outset I assume that what is described as briefing assessing creative serviceproviders will provide insights into credentials presentations RIP processes dog pony shows etc I see that Using Researchto develop communications strategies is included in this course but I think would be a better fit in Integrated CommunicationsNor am I convinced that an introduction to graphic design software provides greatest learning value for students interested in
the Communications process
One issue that is a consistent source of debatediscussion for organizations is the decision to add communications specialistscopywriters designers etc to staff rather than outsourcing I think that an examination of different modelsapproaches and anassessment of the most appropriate approach for an organization might be a useful addition to the course Agencysuppliercompensation models billing often being significant source of conflict between suppliers and Clients might also beconsidered
Vinetta Peck CMA What do you see is the value of this course from graduatesFinn
Vice President Programs I find that the current syllabus offered in this market is too broadly focused and doesnt go into enough depth to make a studentMarketing successful when they enter the job market There is too much focus on high level strategy vs getting the work done This course
provides a strong background on marketing from the initial thought to delivery of the finished product This will make a studentmuch more valuable to a company and I would assume would help them grow their career faster
3 most important elements of this course and whya BudgetingMathematical skills Much of my career was spent either in an advertising agency or client side in new
productbrand development The lack of financial skills within marketing individuals was deplorable They saw value increating a new campaign or new product but didnt know what that product would cost or the ROI on a project Theygot caught up in the glitz and glamour of the creative side but fell short on the execution Being both a ExecutiveDirector of client services at an agency and then a client of an agency with an internal marketingnew productdevelopment teamthere were many great ideas presented that took up too much agency and staff time that neverwent anywhere from the initial layouts The company couldntmake money short term or long term and wasntabout toinvestment spend continually On the other hand one of the most successful products I ever worked on mikes hardlemonade only had a 30000 national advertising and collateral budget for the launch In hindsight more funds maynot have brought out the creativity of the campaign and may have hindered its success It came down to knowing whoour target market was and how much money to allocate to projects and products
b Communication With our world getting smaller every day and with the speed that projects are developed and producedin good communication is critical Communication to the team you arc working with as well as presentation skills toyour client
c Evaluation ROIs and the evaluating process is extremely important as noted in the above comment Knowing what iscritical to a project and what factors to use in this evaluation are also important

Anything missinga Social MediaDigital I noticed it was mentioned but not at the same magnitude as conventional media Recent media
shakeups such as advertisers pulling out of the SuperBowl and going on line instead Conde Nast just developed an app fortheir print publications for the I phone and I Pad shows that social media and digital publications are indeed taking overWe recently converted our whole national advertising campaign to on linebroadband and its been very successful
b Research There is mention of evaluation but research is a key component of that measurement and evaluation Manyprojects fail due to proper research not being executed or the right questions not being asked of the right target market Iwould find that this would be critical to any marketing person to understand
c New and changing media You have noted Eactive marketing and maybe this is where this subject is contained so if itis please disregard this commentbut with target markets being more selective on what when and where they want toreceive a message the way that we communicate this through interactive softwaresetc is changing very quickly and isvery relevant Im just working on a site that depicts some of those initiatives wwwbecomeacmacom You are welcometo check it out
Aaron Bickel 1 Is this course of value for marketing graduates Please explain
District DirectorYes I really think it is important that employees have the skills identified here It will teach them real deliverables that are
Farm Credit Canada invaluable real world selling It will save a great deal of training time and effort for employers who want people that have skillsnot just concepts This combination of content gives them a head start something for us to build on when we hire them
2 In your opinion what are the 3 most important elements of this course and whyCustomer profitability and contribution margins Most graduates have no concept of how to figure out if you are making anymoney
Writing skills If you cant communicate effectively you cant succeed More than half of our business correspondence is doneby email The details of the deal are in the written correspondence that follows up You have to be able to writeTeamwork and Leadership Skills Nobody works alone Organizations need leaders at all levels If you are in a specificleadership role or not organizations cannot succeed with individuals stepping out from time to time and thinking of the greatergood over their individual needs
3 Is there anything that you would suggest be added to the course
Networking skills People need to have either real interaction or training about how to work a room They need to knowbusiness etiquette cultural differences in business etiquette like who to shake hands with how to present your business card andwhat is expected in a variety of meeting environments They need to know how to plan to make the most of any event Theyneed to be briefing themselves on who will be there know them their priorities preplan networking activities have concretegoals and strategies for building their network They need to plan to have something meaningful to say after the pleasantries sothey can be thoughtful and strategic while appearing to be informal
Identifying centers of influence and understanding how they could impact the sales relationship is critical It not only impacts thesale itself but is key to referrals and managing the salespersonsreputation in the industry Account management and big dealsinvolve webs of many people

It looks like a very comprehensive look at the sales process and the various skills required to succeed in sales
2 In your opinion what are the 3 most important elements of this course and why
Creative Thinking and Problem Solving Skills I think that solving problems is key to business development There are alwayschallenges from small businesses to large corporations The problem solving and perhaps consensus building are very critical toget around the various roadblocks that one may encounter in the marketplace To think outside the box and react in a timelyfashion is key to being successful and proactive in business
Oral Skills Being able to communicate a strong message and being able to convince a prospective customer to do business withyou is key There are few people who are comfortable in a large presentation situations or being able to stand in front of a groupand present an ideaproductsolution etc I value someone who can deliver a passionate presentation versus reading aPowerpoint slide show
Personal Management and Entrepreneurial Skills As a newly appointed manager myself it is a challenge to deal with your owninternal group when you all have different levels of experience or understandings of the current business environment Effectivelymanaging people and motivating them to achieve corporate goals is always a challenge Dealing with various age groups ofemployees is also a challenge and being a manager who is younger than most of your employees has a specific set of challengesthat must be met and achieved by creative motivation techniques
3 Is there anything that you would suggest be added to the course
Personality Types and Traits Dealing with the different personalities and changing your processes depending on peoplespersonality types is a technique that I find essential in order to achieve my corporate objectives There are various personalitytypes which need to be respected when presenting or approaching prospective clientsNetworking This is a key factor in being successful in business in my opinion Being active in the associations and relevantindustry groups is a great place to gain information and form relationships that will make one successful in their business
Nicole Rourke I Is this course of value for marketing graduates Please explainMarketing ProfessorStClair College Definitely In the past brand managers greatest complaint was that they didnt have access to the information they needed
Now they have access to too much information so it is important for them to be able to analyze and understand what is importantAs a brand manager you have access to information through the companysadvertising agency web specialist PR agency andthe companysown marketing research All give different information Marketers must know how do to decide what you needand what it means
2 In your opinion what are the 3 most important elements of this course and why
Oral skills are critical presenting research findings and giving impromptu explanations of research are invaluable skillsUsing advanced techniques in searching the Internet and databases is key All students think they can use Google but can they

MetaFor Inc
Teaching students how to do marketing research when the data sources are available and obvious isnt key its what canthey do when the data isnt there
This is typical with early stage companies startups webbased businesses etc What kind of proxies can one use toextrapolate market size revenues
A key component in the consulting world is gathering extrapolated data from different places synthesizing it and thenanalyzing it This is ahead of the curve stuff gathering insight and the presenting it
Doing Competitive Research What proxies can be used ie number of customers number of employees to extrapolaterevenues She cited an example at Bain where they would send people to company parking lots to count the number ofcars
Mystery Shopper retail for example if your client is Whirlpool you would visit different outlets where the product wassold ie Scars to see if they were selling the product correctly

RE The BBA Degree In Marketing Management
Dear Dr Coren
I am writing to you in support of the above BBA Degree in Marketing Management curriculum proposedat Kwantlen Polytechnic University
In 1994 I created designed and marketed the worlds first Internet filtering product Net Nanny At thattime I had to develop my own marketing method for the Internet as there was nothing available at anyacademic institution I built Net Nanny from one person to over 20 before it was moved fromVancouver BC to the US
The Brand name Net Nanny I created was globally recognized within less than 2 years Net Nanny wasenshrined in legislation in a foreign country stating that any educational facility that is connected to theInternet must have a Net Nanny type of filter installed
Net Nanny became a world leader because of the many Marketing and Management methods outlinedin this BBA Degree program It was an understanding of the market place along with various marketingand business management methodologies that allowed me to grow and develop Net Nanny from anidea to a globally recognized company valued for its products and ethics
The value of the type of program outlined For the BBA Degree is a very important part of building abusiness in todaysmarket place The importance of understanding the power of strong managementpractices along with excellent marketing education cannot be understated It was marketing and strongpeople management practices combined with knowing the market issues that allowed me to build a
globally recognized Company It is Marketing Management Sales along with dedicated employees thatwill make a successful company today

C Executive Summary
C1 Explain how this concept adheres to principles and priorities as indicated in ministerial institutional
and academic planning documents Is this concept supportable and sustainable with existing andoravailable resources
Kwantlen Polytechnic University has recognized the need to offer a full range of degree opportunities and hasreceived a mandate by the province to offer relevant and applied interdisciplinary polytechnic degreesKwantlensMission and Mandate states As a leader in innovative and interdisciplinary education we offer alllearners regardless of background and preparation opportunities to achieve the highest standards ofacademic performance Our many programs of study provide applied learning and broad based universityeducation Given the diversity of study areas at this university this proposed degree will give students theopportunity to gain depth in the trades and technology area while at the same time acquiring breadth in avariety of disciplines
Further this degree will fulfill item 111 of the Senate approved Academic Planning and Priorities to Implementsupport new programs especially those that reflect community needs labour market and broad societal
education needs and which are in keeping with Kwantlensvalues and mandate as a Polytechnic University Inthis integrated program students will develop a broad range of knowledge attitudes and skills to be effectiveleaders in their careers and communities Students will participate in community service projects that willdevelop sustainable solutions to community needs
This program will recognize the learning knowledge and skills acquired in a ticketed trade by grantingacademic credit to the ticket which will enable ticketed journeypersons to advance their careers by completingan additional two years of studies in various disciplines to obtain a degree
This degree will utilize existing resources in the first and second year It will utilize existing and additional resources inthe third and fourth year The intent behind this program is to formalize the recognition of the knowledge skills andexperience of students who have successfully completed their trade or technology program and want to take theircareers to another level By providing access to courses in the humanities social sciences and business this conceptis also sustainable for learning beyond the trades and technology fields These courses will provide furtheropportunities for students to acquire broader knowledge and skills that improve their own lives and contributepositively to the well being of society through leadership
Education philosophers Comenius Locke and Rousseau were largely responsible for the major changes in thetraditional apprenticeship system Crunkilton finch 1977 of indenture to partially be delivered in a postsecondary setting Their proposal that trades be introduced into the formal education system resulted in theirinclusion in formal curriculum John Dewey was a strong proponent of the move to integrate vocationaleducation into the formalized system because he favoured vocational work in schooling as an essential part ofthe curriculum Dewey 1916 Now Kwantlen has an opportunity to take this evolution to the next level bygiving academic recognition and respect to the significant learning that occurs in the informal learningenvironment that occurs at work as well as the formal learning that occurs at school
Skills for growth The notional skills strategy which was presented to the British parliament in 2009 noted theskills system needs to mesh with our university system in such a way that there is a clear vocational route fromapprenticeship to technician to foundation degree and beyond p 1 2009 This proposed degree will alsoaccept students into the degree stream with post secondary credits awarded in approved trades andortechnology courses These courses will be identified as having substantial trade andor technology focus toprovide a foundation that would support the proposed community based projects in third and fourth year
The prerequisites identified to enter the third year will ensure that students possess the aptitude and theability to achieve success in the rigor of the subject matter in the third and fourth year of this Bachelor ofTechnology
The proposed Bachelor of Technology builds on the efficacy of practical hands on experience in the Faculty ofTrades and Technology and enriches it by incorporating the institutionsstrengths in humanities social sciencesand business The program takes a thematic approach to the development of leadership that is innovative andvisionary but at the same time considers the ramifications of technical advances in the realm of societyeconomics the environment and sustainable resources

Many students will be recruited from within Kwantlenstrade and technology programs
Since this degree will be unique in that it grants academic credit for trade certification students will berecruited from other institutions within the province and across Canada that offer similar programs
Students will be recruited through secondary schools as part of the general career exploration activities as
well as recruitment that is targeted to Technical Education students Students will be recruited through theITABC and through all unions associated with all trades
Students will also be recruited through the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists CCTTparticularly through the local body the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC ASTTBC andother relevant accrediting bodies
E2 How will the program address the needs of under prepared students How will you get thesestudents Into a qualifying year

Program Concept Bachelor ofTechnology Page 5
ensure that Aboriginals are given every opportunity to participate in Trades and Technology training at alllevels including this degree program Education and experience gained in the third and fourth year of thedegree will enable degree graduates to contribute to economic development in the band communities
The program will also encourage women who have completed trades and technology programs to continuetheir career advancements by working with groups such as Women in Trades Technology and ScienceWTTS Women in Trades WIT and various programs that encourage more participation in non traditionaloccupations The BTech program will provide additional support to a network of women already working inconstruction and other related trades
This program is ideally suited for mature members of our society particularly trades people with many yearsof experience who want to enrich their employment by entering into a management or leadership positionor by owning and operating their own company There are many skilled and experienced trades people whohave been injured on the job and are seeking retraining that is sponsored by Work Safe BC or anothervocational rehabilitation organization This program is a good fit in such cases as most retraining sponsorshipis limited to two years which would cover the third and fourth year of the degree since clients would inmost cases already have the first two years in the form of a trade ticket Retraining organizations usuallysponsor the upgrading to meet entrance requirements and do not count it as part of the allotted retrainingtime
Many immigrant professionals have entered into a trade in BC as an expedient way to take short packages oftraining and then enter the workforce to continue the required on the job training but at the same time earna wage In some cases immigrant professionals can transfer credits from education from outside Canada thatcould be included as an elective in the third or fourth year
Kwantlen participates in the annual Round Table on Skills Shortage RTSS which is sponsored by ASTTBC Thepurpose of this event is to focus on the solutions and actions required to ensure BC has the neededtechnology workers well into the future All participants are given the opportunity to participate informulating strategies for the next 3 years There are special breakout sessions at this event that focus onFirst Nations Career Council and BC Women in Technology By participating in these events Kwantlen can
promote this unique opportunity for Trades and Technology people to earn a degree and help meet thedemands of the skill shortage at a management level

Elaine Decker Director Educational DevelopmentResult
Thanks for the opportunity to comment on the proposed BTech degree I think you and your colleagueshave designed a proposed credential that matches and supports a career path for a Red Seal holder Afterspending several years in the trade a Red Seal tradesperson may want to open a business move intomanagement in a larger company take on a role in permits inspection with a municipal government orbecome a trades instructor
The learning experiences that you propose in this degree will support these career moves providingbreadth and building business leadership and writing skills I imagine that the degree will also bondstudents to Kwantlen because they will realize that KPU is with them for life or at least for the length oftheir careers These graduates could in turn be valuable resources on a Program Advisory CommitteeThe Centre for Academic Growth would be pleased to work with you on the implementation of the newprogram following its approval

Result
These are some of my comments and suggestions
1 The 60 credits in post secondary courses needs to be defined a little further and the language needs tobe stipulated clearer to avoid confusion as to specifically what type of courses will meet this criteria
2 Previous Drafting programs were coded as Vocational courses would these students be admissibleunder the above mentioned category
3 Do the entrance requirements Math 11C Physics 11 C and English 12B have to be completed prior toadmission into 3rd year or are they just required for pre reqs for courses that will be within the 3rd and4th year of the degree Can testing andor equivalences be used for meeting entrance requirements aswell
Thats it for now

Is this concept supported by the department Will this program have an impact on another program or viceversa Have you contacted those departments and have arrangements been made re service courses Has theproposal been approved by the Faculty Council
Dean of Social Sciences Robert Adamoski
Response from Seema Ahluwalia Sociology Dept Chair
It was a pleasure to talk to you a couple of weeks ago about your developing program I am very excitedabout the role Sociology can play in supporting your program particularly through providing relevant courses
As I recall you explained to me that students could bridge into your program with 60 credits andor a twoyear ticket This is good because both of the courses that we discussed are third year courses but beyond aspecific number of credits both of these courses require Soci 1125 as a prerequisite
Soci 3210 Technology and Society Prerequisites 45 credits at 1100 or higher including SOLI 1125
Soci 3300 Work and Occupations Prerequisites SOCI 1125
I look forward to further discussion
Note
Joanne Massey informed Seema that we have tentatively included SOCI 1125 in the third semester and sheindicated her approval

Debate and sustain arguments andor solve practice related problems using ideas and techniquessome of which are at the forefront of trades and technology
Use a range of established techniques and bodies of knowledge to initiate and undertake criticalanalysis of arguments assumptions abstract concepts and data which may be incomplete
These two program outcomes fall squarely within the purview of the Critical Thinking branch ofPhilosophy The whole point of KwanticnsPhil 1145 for instance is to teach students the skills
required to determine the meaning and significance of what is observed or expressed or concerninga given inference or argument determining whether there is adequate justification to accept theconclusion as true The course presents Critical Thinking as the skilled active interpretation andevaluation of observations communications information and argumentation More naturally itpresents Critical Thinking as the careful and deliberate determination of whether one should acceptreject or suspend judgment about a claim and the degree of confidence with which one accepts orrejects it
Ive long believed that Critical Thinking should be mandatory for all universitylevel students for 1know of no one enrolled in any degree program who would not benefit from the skills taught in such acourse including BTech students Accordingly 1 would recommend that Phil 1145 be made a requiredcourse for the BTech something with which the department of Philosophy would be happy tocooperate Developing a special topics upperdivision Critical Thinking course that targets issues intechnology is also a possibility
Apply the methods and techniques of experience in trades and technology to extend professionalcompetence including ethics and other professional practices
Currently the School of Business requires their degree students to take Phil 3033 Business Ethics aservice also provided by the Philosophy department The same course would be an excellent way ofachieving the above outcome for BTech students 1 am certain that Philosophy would be pleased towork with the Faculty of Trades and Technology to bring this about

Development and Success
CounsellingThis program presents some concerns regarding the reentry process for students who are coming back after a break
from study or the more formal learning environment It appears that students academic needs can be met throughthe bridging programs however we may find that personal issues may arise due to changes in the demands onstudents who have work family relationship commitments that come into conflict with the demands of the newerlearning environment To cater to the holistic development of students I would recommend that at least a 5
counsellor be funded to meet the additional demands on services that would be anticipated

research demands as well as the publication process It is anticipated that there will be gaps In student knowledgeand skills that could be supplemented by tutoring as Issues arise from time to timeAs the student group would tend to be more mature with established outside Interests and commitments it isrecommended that some form of Success Coaching and tutoring be incorporated into the various programs Thiscould be in the form of mentoring whereby each student has access to a professional in the trade in which theypursuing additional knowledge and tutoring where knowledge or skill gaps are evident Such a service could beavailable face to face through the existing Kwantlen Learning Centres or via telephone or the internetFor this I would recommend at least a 5 faculty position as coordinator as well as a team of tutors and mentors withavailable funds equivalent of a 5 faculty position to support this work

Since you and 1 had an opportunity to review this once already I am comfortable with how this is progressingbut I just realized that Zena our director for Admissions was not copied on your original email below I wouldlike to give her an opportunity to review this as well understanding that your deadline has already come andgone Over to Zena
From Zena Mitchell
Rather than repeating what Warren has provided I have added to the feedback he provided to you belowour areas tend to overlap in relation to the admissions and registration issues
61 Has the name of the program not yet been determined Im wondering if it is because you have multipleapplied majors being considered for this program If this is the case the degree will need to be based on aBTech framework to which you can then attach multiple tradestechnology majors much like the BA or theBsc model With a framework model the framework itself will require a separate Program Concept andthen a separate concept for each major If it is an applied degree however only one concept is requiredBased on Kwantlensdegree naming conventions the framework model would look like this Bachelor ofTechnology Major in An applied degree would look like this Bachelor of Technology in
B2 if you decide that the diploma will be an entrance AND an exit point If the Diploma is only an exitpoint youll be fine with one Concept document If however the intention is that the diploma can serve as astand alone credential it will need its own Concept document This will likely need to be clarifiedB Agreed is the bridging built in to year two If so it is possible to complete in 4 years but if not moretime should be identified
B4 If the admission requirements for year one of the diploma and year one of the degree are the samecould you not in theory start both intakes at year one at the same time You may want to identify whetheryou are referring to year one or year three of the Bachelorsdegree in the start date section ie Year 1 of thediploma and degree start in Sept 2010 Year three of the degree starts in Sept 2011B5 There are no specific yearone admission requirements outlined year one states normal entrancerequirements for the trade or technology being studied The only way in which the program can be definedas open access is if general university admissions requirements apply Any admission requirements overand above the general university requirements define the programs as selective entry Year threedefinitely needs to be defined as selective entry because a student cant gain access to year three until theoutlined bridging requirements are met ie university admission bridging yr 3 degree admission
E1 Entrance requirements are listed as 60 postsecondary credits in appropriate courses Appropriatewill need to be outlined more specifically for the purposes of determining admission for the program
It should also be noted somewhere the Access section Section D seems most appropriate that the

Firstly please accept my apologies for not replying sooner Thank you for forwarding the attached programconcept I think its great that the Faculty of Trades and Technology is developing a baccalaureate levelcredential I do have a few comments and questions
This appears to be a proposal for two credentials a diploma and a degree Does this not require twoindependent program concept documents and subsequently program proposalsSection D1 For applicants to the degree is the intent that they complete the bridging requirements
before or after being admitted I suspect the intent was that the bridging be completed ahead ofadmission to the degree but just want to make sureSection D3 Because the diploma in technology ladders into the degree and because therequirements for diploma completion are quite broad does this mean that all trades students will beadmitted as Diploma in Technology students including foundation and apprenticeship level tradesstudentsSection E1 Can 60 credits in appropriate courses be defined a little further or pehaps it was and Ijust missed it

B2 Why is the Diploma of Technology listed Isnt the proposal for a Bachelor of Technology A secondproposal for the diploma may be required83 The length of time does not appear to acknowledge the bridging described in the graphic in section D186 Is the scope of the Diploma statement intended to apply to any trade worker in the world or only toKwantlen students who have completed some of their learning at Kwantlen In either event should there be

General Comments
The proposal describes 60 post secondary credits in appropriate subjects several times How will theappropriate subjects be measured or defined Could an Associate of Arts degree student qualify for a B Techsee comment about F5
Final Note
An alternate way to bundle the program might be to
Faun updaud January 2009
Program Concept Bachelor of Technology Page 18
A State the admission requirements for the Diploma as Qualification as an apprentice or betterB State the graduation requirements for the Diploma as Red Seal plus the six bridging coursesC State the entrance requirements for the Degree as Completion of the Diploma or 60 credits to include
the bridging courses
This would address residency requirements program length and could be easily extended to specified otherappropriate subjects
Perhaps I have misunderstood but I am concerned that selling the program to journey persons as a twoyear degree would be incorrect as they would have the third and fourth years plus the bridging courses beforecompletion or more than two years
Please let me know if I can offer any further assistance or clarification

Dear Ms htssev
Thank you for your recent email outlining your intent to create a Bachelor of Technology BTech degree that
would allow a Red Seal journeyperson to gain 60 post secondary credits towards the completion of the program I have
reviewed your concept and believe it would be of incre Iible value to amyone who has or is considering a career in a Red
Seal trade 1 cam see how this degree would expand opportunities for trades people and provide some with the needed pre
requisites to pursue graduate studies
As someone who holds both a Bachelor of Science degree and a Red Seal endorsement for the trade of
Automotive Senice Technician 1 can appreciate the extra time required and financial pressure incurred to obtain a degreeIf the Bachelor of Technology degree existed when I tlocided to pursue my degree 1 would have likely completed my
program through Kwanden Polytechnic University rater than UBC I believe that your BTech prognun will encourage
more people to enter red seal trades with the knowledge that die skills they have gained in their trade can also be applied
towards a degree 1 personally know the disappoinunent of realizing the four years 1 spent obtaining my Red Seal trade
would not result in any credit towards a degree
1 believe the degree prognun you intend to create will not only benefit existing trades faculty by providing a shorter
route to the needed prerequisites for a graduate degree but also provide incentive for future students to enroll in trades
training with the secure knowledge that the completion of a degree is within reach in a short period of time I conunend you
for developing a program that will have a positive impact on so many existing and future wades people

Please accept this letter of support for the proposed Bachelor of Technology
that Kwantlen University is developing
Coming from the perspective of someone who has been through both Trade
School and a University degree it is my feeling that one of the fundamental
reasons for students entering postsecondary educations and making the
decision to not go into vocational education is the perception by students and
parents alike that there is no opportunity to go beyond and get higher levels of
education This is in part due to there being little opportunity for transfer credit
My personal experience includes redoing identical courses for both my
vocational education and my university degree
It is a very large undertaking but it is my hope that this is a first step towards
extending transfer credit between tradestechnology and academic programs
With best regard

It was very nice to see you out at the BCCEA Conference held in October in MapleRidge 1 found your presentation outlining your intent to create a Bachelor ofTechnology Degree that would allow a Red Seal journeyperson to gain 60 post secondarycredits towards the completion of the program very interesting
I have talked to several other shop teachers about your idea and believe it would be ofincredible value to our students considering a career in trades The option to complete aDegree may help to encourage students and their parents to consider a trade as a careerAlso having a Degree option in the trade area may help us increase our enrolment in oursecondary shop classes The perceptions of trades may change if your Programme goesahead
I have also talked to our school counsellors and they also agree that your DegreeProgramme would be a benefit to students As a local community University you offermany other benefits that other institutions do not Students could continue their educationwithout having some of the other associated costs
Please keep us informed as to the status ofthis Programme We hope that it receivesapproval from your Senate

Dear Joanne Massey
Im writing this letter to express my support for the proposed Bachelor ofTechnology DegreeThe development of this degree program will create an opportunity for Tradeprogram graduates which have never existed before As it stands today theonly option available to a trade graduate is to return to university and spendanother four years securing a degreeIt may only be a small percentage of trade graduates that decide to go on butit is very important that this option is available By offering this programyou will open a door for continuing professional development for thesegraduatesI wish you continued success in bringing this program to fruition

Proposed Bachelor of Technology degree
To whom it may concern
Red Seal certification in automotive is something I am about to acquire 1 am currently attendingautomotive level four at Kwantlen Polytechnic University Cloverdale Campus I also have my draftingcertificate as well as many other prerequisites required to be accepted to the proposed Bachelor ofTechnology degree program The pursuit of an advanced career in automotive Is something I amconstantly working toward I have also considered a higher education leading to careers not related totrades The proposed Bachelor of Technology degree program would be an asset in whatever direction Ichoose
Most skilled trades require over four years of commitment before certification Thiscommitment process could also be referred to as an Investment It is very demanding in that tradespeople Invest tremendous amounts of effort and funds compared to what is received Many trades alsoappear to have limitations at which there Is no further progression Potential trades people may decideagainst entry into a trade based solely on thls seemingly lacking investment retums Credits toward abachelorsdegree would surely stimulate trades entry
We as trades people have and will continue to invest In ourselves Most cannot afford to returnto a college or university for 4 or 5 more years of education for a bachelorsdegree Many trades peoplewill require a higher level of education to achieve their goals I would be overwhelmed with enthusiasmif my Red Seal trade certification along with as little as 5 semesters granted the equivalent of four or fivecollege or university years in the form of a bachelorsdegree
I strongly believe with acceptance and development of this proposed program current andfuture trades people will benefit I would like to thanks all who are involved with developing thisproposal for your efforts I would also like to thank anyone with future Involvement In advance
Sincerely

To Whom It May Concern
Re PROPOSED BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY
Thank you for your recent email outlining your intent to create a Bachelor of Technology BTech degreethat would allow a Red Seal journeyperson to gain 60 post secondary credits towards the completion ofthe program I have reviewed your concept and believe it would be of incredible value to anyone whohas or is considering a career in a Red Seal trade I can see how this degree would expand opportunitiesfor trades people and provide some with the needed prerequisites to pursue graduate studies
As someone who holds a Red Seal endorsement for the trade of Carpentry 1 can appreciate the extra timerequired and financial pressure incurred to obtain a certification
I believe that the direction of this degree with relevant trade experience as part of the recognizedbackground will add value to the employer and to that of the credential I commend you fordeveloping a program that will have a positive impact on so many existing and future trades people
If you should have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned

Re Bachelor of Technology Degree
The creation of a Bachelor of Technology BTech degree that recognizes the educational valueof a Red Seal certification as 60 postsecondary credits towards that degree is truly supportingthe concept of lifelong learning
It is appropriate that a degree in technology would have as its basis actual experience as atechnician This recognition will encourage more people to consider entering red seal tradesknowing that the skills they have gained in their trade can be applied towards gaining a degreeFor some trades people this will also provide opportunities to pursue graduate studies
As a member of both the Automotive Service Technician and Partsperson PACs at Kwantlen Iam fully in favour of developing a program that will have a positive impact on so many existingand future tradespeople

I am writing to you both as a member of the Public Safety Communications Advisory Committeeas well an owner of a communications consulting firm to express my support for the proposedBachelor of Technology degree It is my strong belief that enhancing the opportunities forindividuals working in the technology field to achieve additional accreditation will enhance theirability to perform work of greater value In addition to enhancing the skill set for those working inthis field the addition of a certification such as being proposed by Kwantlen PolytechnicUniversity will increase their visibility and employability by firms such as ours
Our consulting firm is employed in much of Canada working principally with emergency serviceswith regard to technology procurement and implementation as well as performance audits andquality assurance programs In the ten years our company has been operating the demand forservices has increased in complexity and scale and this demands an ever increasing level oftraining and experience
At the same time the issues of ever tightening standards of services and a greater scrutiny toensure value for money require our firm and our consultants to continually broaden their skillsThis requires a great deal more ability to research write and present ideas and this broadersuite of knowledge is something that I feel is enhanced with a degree program Quite simply
students that graduate with these skills will succeed to a higher degree and will deliver bettervalue
Thank you for considering this program and if it would be helpful I would be happy to speakwith you further
Yours truly
Dave Mitchell

Labour Market Demand
The purpose of this section is to provide an informed view of the labour market trends in BC and Canada for all
the occupational groups that fall under the postsecondary field of study of the proposed degree However dueto the lack of labour market information at both the federal and provincial levels on professions the graduatesof the proposed degree program can pursue this section of the report focuses mainly on the generalemployment demand for skilled trades and technical workers and includes the results of a survey conductedby IAP to gather information about the industry members perceptions of the proposed degree
Thompson Rivers UniversitysBachelor of Technology in Trades Technology Leadership degree programwhich is designed to build upon its students trades or technology qualifications and allow them to move ontoleadership and management positions lists millwright supervisor maintenance superintendent mill managersite supervisor project manager business unit manager among some of the occupations graduates of theprogram are qualified to seek
The number of trade certifications awarded in BC declined from3300 in 1993 to 2000 in 2004 This decline
combined with the increased demand for skilled trades and technical workers due to the creation of new jobsand retirements resulted in skills shortages in this sector of the economy The Industry Training Authority of BCITA was established in 2004 to address the challenges facing the provincestrades and apprenticeshiptraining system and increase enrollments in apprenticeship and trades certification programs In 2007 theenrollments in apprenticeship and trades programs grew to almost5000 up from 861 in 2004 HigherLearning and the Labour Market in a Changing World Environmental Scan for British Columbia 2007
Demand for skilled trades and technical workers in BC is currently not being met in many occupations andemployers are experiencing difficulty finding qualified workers Many skilled trades and technical workers arenearing retirement age and as a result there will be a significant demand that occurs from the need to replacethese workers Opportunities in Skilled Trades and Technical Occupations in BC

Clarification RequiredGraphic representation of the entry requirements Program Concept p3
Why is not the version that includes the names of the 3 and 4 year courses of the proposed programused
The structure of the program will allow for all delivery types fulltime parttime evening weekendon line mixedmode delivery methods Program Concept p4
Clarification is required as to what is meant by the structure of the program will allow for all deliverytypes Is using all delivery types an economically feasible option for a degree program with aforecasted annual intake of 20 to 35 students
C 60 postsecondary credits in appropriate courses Program Concept p4 Section E1
Clarification is needed as to what the appropriate courses are For example how many courses will astudent with 60 postsecondary credits in psychology be able to transfer into the Bachelor ofTechnology program Students entering the 3 year of the program with a Red Seal or Terminal TradeTicket Diploma differ from students with 60 postsecondary credits in fields other than trades Wouldstudents coming from other fields be at a disadvantage compared to students with a trades andtechnology background
For TECH courses current faculty are able to deliver the program since all TECH courses are based onadvanced experience knowledge and expertise gained on the job by Trades and Technology facultyFor breadth courses outside of the Trades and Technology division faculty from the appropriatediscipline will be able to deliver the prescribed courses and existing electives Program Concept p9Section F7
Will the current Trades and Technology faculty be able to absorb the increased workload due to newcourse offerings

4 General Comments
Appendix A From shop floor to boardroom by degrees
Without knowing about each others plans two BC universities have just launched similar degree programsfor skilled tradespeople who want to learn more about business
Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops and the Chilliwackbased University College of the Fraser Valley have
just announced the new business degrees which offer advanced placement for certified tradespeople givingcredit for trades training and making it possible to complete a fouryear business degree in as little as half thetime
The new programs will hopefully interest experienced tradespeople and also attract more young people to the
trades by offering a future beyond the shop floor said Geoff Stevens vice president of industry relations forBCs Industry Training Authority
Were trying to make the trades more attractive to young people and its a steep hill to climb Stevens saidParents and kids look at the trades as potentially deadend theyre good jobs but where do you go if you
want to move on in your career These degrees provide a better career path
You can start out in the trades but you have the option if you want to move into management you can useyour trades training as a bridge to a degree
At TRU the Bachelor of Technology degree in trades and technology teaches certified tradespeople businessand leadership skills to prepare them for senior management positions or to operate their own companiesmore successfully At UCFV students graduate with a Bachelor of Business Administration in tradesmanagement with the skills to work successfully as managers or owners of trade related businesses
The Kamloops program combines online learning with a couple of weeks of training on campus The UCFVcourses will be offered mainly in the evenings and on weekends with some distance learning UCFV isaccepting applications for the program with the first classes scheduled to begin next January and TRU expectsto start its first online course later this spring
If you look at the very successful business people who started in the trades they got there by trial and errorsaid Hary McCullough dean of UCFVs trades and technology department I think we will give contractors aleg up in understanding the complexity of business without them having to do it the hard way He said theshortage of skilled tradespeople is constantly in the news but there is also a critical shortage of managers intrades related businesses with the retirement of the babyboom generation At the same time the globaleconomy has made business more complicated and young workers need more knowledge to do the work theprevious generation could learn on the job This program is designed to give all the education you couldpossibly require to survive in the business world today McCullough said
Gerry Desrochers coordinator of TRUs trades and technology degree programs said the new degree programallows tradespeople to leverage their trades training and continue working while they gain more knowledge
This is aimed at working professionals who are looking for the credentials to advance in their job Desrocherssaid Its natural to want to progress in your career and this is the ticket to advancement or just to gain morebusiness knowledge for personal information it gives more flexibility Gary Teichrob founder and presidentof TYCROP Manufacturing Ltd in Rosedale said his company will be sending workers to the UCFV program tohone their business skills I cant believe this hasnt been done before Teichrob said We want to offer
education to existing staff to move up to management roles They may have the talent but they dont have the

formal training so they lack some of the business concepts TYCROP which designs and manufactures golfcourse and athleticturf maintenance machinery needs managers who are skilled tradespeople but also havebusiness skills they dont teach in trades programs Teichrob said A lot of tradespeople have aspirations togrow beyond the blue collar but most organizations require their managers to have business skills such ashow to read and understand financial statements how to write well and supervise staff This program givestradespeople a whole other option

To be completed by developers following consultation with VP Academic as part of longterm budget planning
Music programs at Kwantlen have a current FY10 operational base of 5597600 exclusive of benefits Thisamount includes both regularcontract salaries and annual operating budget Additional capital amountsassigned to music have been marginal ranging between 57000 and 530000 over the past three years Libraryacquisitions account for the remainder of institutional spending in Music
The program concept 11outlines 5174000 in onetime monies and 5254518 in new base ongoing fundingThe institutional cost of supporting a fouryear Music degree as outlined in 11 above is offset in part by thefollowing ongoing sources of revenue
1 The degree program will generate additional student FTE of 45 One FTE is understood to be equivalent to30 credits of coursework Converted to 511880credit there is potential for up to 5160000 in additionalrevenues once there is a complete fouryear cycle of programming It is expected that a majority of currentdiploma students will move through the new degree program additionally if the degree is approved it will beattractive to transfer students from Douglas College Okanagan College Selkirk College and several Albertatwoyear colleges who will make the transition to Kwantlen to complete a fouryear BMMA both because ofthe degree of flexibility and broad based approach afforded by this program and because of its locationappeal as a unique music degree offered in British ColumbiasFraser Valley Additionally students from UFVAbbotsfordMission Chilliwack TWU Langley Surrey SFU BurnabyCoquitlamMaple Ridge and even UBCPoint GreyOkanagan and possibly TRU KamloopsThompson Okanagan constituent areas may come toKwantlen because their schools have no music programs or because they desire a more accessible andsomewhat less conventional and prescriptive program of music study Some may want the convenience ofeasier commutes or are attracted by the competitive affordability and high calibre of KwantlensMusicprograms and faculty
2 Each new FTE brings an increase in block funding to the institution in this case 50 of 160000 580000
3 Over 536000 based on the current Music FTE of 75 per academic year is recouped by the institution inadditional fees that are charged for music lessons ranging from 575 for 30minute lessons to 5125 for 60minute lessons to 175 for 90 minute lessons and small ensembles 5100 With an increased cohort thatrequires an additional four semesters of lessons and ensembles the fees generated will be in excess of35000year Fees should tied in budget planning to the courses for which they are charged and applieddirectly as revenue that offsets costs associated with delivering programs for which fees are assessed
4 In the proposed degree structure only 20 credit offerings of the current 30credit Foundation Certificate willbe retained for the purposes of preparing students for diploma and degree work Because the FoundationCertificate will now be awarded as one of a number of exit credentials within the new degree structure there isa total of 10 credits of coursework equating to 417 faculty FTE that can now be moved to cover upper level

that will be reassigned to deliver the degree program
At maximum capacity 125 FTE revenues from new and required 3 and4courses in the degreeprogram should exceed new base budget requested in the concept proposal to cover faculty and supportsalaries Onetime monies for space refurbishment and infrastructure startup will be more of a challenge tofund as will ongoing operational demands such as the eventual faculty costs associated with mentoring andsupervising music practicum projects but there are some possible sources of entrepreneurial funding thatcould be developed as a professional approach to integrating theory and praxis through practicum experience
These include but are not limited to
student chamber ensembles that could be managed by students completing practicums in musicmanagement groups of senior students could be hired for gigs all over the Lower Mainland withproceeds going to scholarships and to funding the chamber music program
master classes given regularly by faculty and visiting artists could be open to the public so thatstudents in performance programs have more informal opportunities to perform and communitymusic teachers and young performers could benefit from the expertise and open critiques offered byspecialists groups like the Registered Music Teachers Association chapters across the Lower Mainlandcould be offered special rates for a series of master classes proceeds from these could support theKwantlen Concert Series and contribute to the performance program establishing competitions andscholarships
converting the considerable resources of Kwantlenschoral and instrumental programs into a lendinglibrary that charges nominal fees for scoreparts rental to amateur choirs and instrumental ensemblesin schools churches and community organizations providing Kwantlen music students with practicumexperience in music resource management with rental proceeds contributing to acquisition of musicalscores for ensemble performance
developing a business plan for rental of the Auditorium to external performance groups andindividuals where the venue and production support sound reinforcement lighting audiovideocapture house management ticket booth are offered by students as a service practicum for artsmanagement Kwantlen could set up a revenuesharing arrangement whereby Music becomes themanaging partner in a full service venue and Musics share of profits could be designated to offsetcosts of major music productions in the space
utilizing the gift of Michael Conway Baker a complete film score compositionrecording studio andthe mobile computing lab as a joint instructionalcommercial enterprise that not only trains studentsand community participants in digital composition and arranging but also operates as a recording andproduction facility for emerging artists and professional groups where students gain practicalfacilitative experience in music production composition and arranging and program expenses such assoftware and hardware upgrades are underwritten as profits from the commercial side of theenterprise are funnelled back into the academic operation

Registrar Services Director Registrar Services 2463Admissions Records Graduationplanning for program admission registration impact onscheduling etc1 With regard to the stated Admission requirements year one entry requirements are outlined as thegeneral university admission requirements in addition to an audition and an interview
You may be aware that Kwantlen requires a firstyear English course excluding English 1099 as a requirementfor graduation for all Kwantlen degrees Im not sure if this requirement has been incorporated into therequired coursework for the program but as a degree program it will need to be so I wanted to ensure youwere aware of the requirement With respect to the English requirement I wanted to point out that if you havethe yearone admission requirements set at general university admission requirements you would berequiring applicants to have a C in English 12 or equivalent The prerequisite for any of the undergraduatelevel English courses is English 12 with a B or equivalent Students can still be granted admission to theprogram under your stated requirements but they will not necessarily have the English prerequisite that theyneed to access the firstyear English requirement needed for graduation You can 1 leave the admissionrequirements as is and note within the program requirements that upgrading may be necessary for thosestudents not entering with a B in English 12 or 2 you can increase the yearone admission requirement toEnglish 12 with a B Either is fine I just wanted to outline both scenarios for you as one has an implicationaround admission and the ability to recruit while the other has an implication around progression and thepotential that students may need an additional 3 credits if they do not enter the program with the Englishprerequisite
2 You mention the degree will have a year three entry point but there are no specific admissionrequirements noted for yearthree entry you indicate minimum 60 credits lower level coursework but norequirements more specific than that These requirements will need to be outlined either at the ProgramConcept or the Full program proposal stage To provide you with an example the BBA in EntrepreneurialLeadership lists the following as specific year3 entry requirements
For students entering the program in the third year upon completion of two years of study the admissionrequirements are met by one of the following
Completion of a business related diploma from a recognized college or university with a minimum of 60credits a cumulative GPA of 27 or higher and a C or higher in Accounting and StatisticsCompletion of 60 transferable credits at the undergraduate level from any recognized college includingthe required six bridging courses listed below or transferable equivalents with a minimum cumulativeGPA of 27 and with a C in Accounting and Statistics
In addition it is important to note any continuance requirements you may require for students who haveentered the program at yearone As an example here is what the Fashion program requires for continuance ofthird year students
Students continuing into year 3 of the degree program must have completed all requirements for years 1 and 2with an average cumulative GPA of 27 or higher with a final grade of B or greater in FASN 2200 DesignDrawing II and FASN 2220 Drafting and Sewing IV

the program As an example given the projected student numbers for the BMMA and the fact that it is aselective entry rather than open access program we would need to have a dedicated Admissions Assistantlooking after this program for first year admissions thirdyear continuance and third year transfer studentsBased on the number of students you have projected over the next four years Admissions would require a025 FTE Admissions Assistant to manage the program The cost salary and benefits associated with a 025 FTEis1094730 Could I ask that you please indicate this in the operating cost portion of the grid in Section 1 Thisis not a cost that the Music Department would incur this is an operational cost the university needs to beaware of in the delivery of this new program

Looks very exciting I have a couple of comments for you do with them what you need to
1 The FTE growth Year 1 50 FTE Year II 35 FTE Year III 25 FTE Year IV 20 FTE represents growth ofyour area Have you anticipated space requirements yet
2 The admissions requirements state students intending to enroll in a BMMA program will be required togive a performance audition and interview Is there a quantitative measurement that can be attached tothis requirement or do they get in if they show up It might be especially useful to extend the admission
requirements to relate either specifically to the Certificate program eg students not ready for the degreeprogram can enter upon completion of the certificate This can help accelerate your admissions cycle if we seea lot of students coming into the degree program by doing a qualifying year first3 There is no mention of whether students can qualify for entrance to PDP program after graduation Willthey This might be an important drawing factor if the degree program meets the requirements of the PDP

Sounds like an exciting programme and one where technology could play an important role in attracting andretaining students especially in the delivery of audio and video resources In reading about your plans here aresome thoughts and suggestions
Work with your faculty members to coordinate and plan for how the institutionslearning managementsystem Moodie could be used in a consistent way across all courses in the program Moodie can be a veryeffective way to engage students beyond the classroom The library is currently working on ways to deliverprogram or discipline specific resources through Moodiefor example access to the Naxos Music Libraryor other licensed databases We feel it is better for students if these resources are available in a consistent
way across a programme rather than available in some courses and not others There is also theopportunity to set up a programme site Moodie calls these metasites for common resources that youwant to make available to all students in the your programme We are happy to work with your faculty tocoordinate training and support for thisYou mention that you are currently exploring the potential for possible online or mixed mode delivery Iam attaching some information about gearing up for teaching online The Centre for Academic Growthcan work with faculty members to discuss specific learning objectives and how these could be achieved inan online environment
We are currently exploring the potential for using iTunes U and a related product called Podcast Producerfor the creation and delivery of audio and video podcasts This might be useful for both students andfaculty to be able to record and share performances guest speakersperformers etc We will beginworking with this technology this fall and hope to be ready to implement in January
You may also want to discuss with Robert any specific classroom technologies that you have in mind or areconsidering The more lead time we have the better we will be able to plan and budget for any trainingsupport or infrastructure requirements outside of the standard hardware and software IET supports
I hope this helps Please contact me if you would like to discuss any of the above in further detail

Dr Richard Kurth The University of British Columbia14 August 20091
Thank you for asking me to comment on the proposal for a Bachelor of Music inMusical Arts BMMA degreeprogram at Kwantlen Polytechnic University I believe that a thriving fouryear music program at Kwantlenwould be a worthwhile and productive addition to the postsecondary educational opportunities available inBritish Columbia in particular if the program is designed to address educational perspectives and emphasesthat are not currently available to students in the province That is clearly the intent of the Kwantlen BMMAproposal and so I respond positively to the proposal on fundamental grounds The Kwantlen MusicDepartment also has excellent faculty members who are fine teachers and accomplished musicians andscholars and they already possess the core experience and skills needed to build and sustain a fouryearprogram The current Kwantlen program has proven its ability to attract students and advance theireducational goals and achievements Now is an appropriate time to consider a complete degree programdesigned to complement existing programs in the province
Among the strengths of the proposal I note in particular the aim to support broad based arts advocacy This isan important aim because arts advocacy is an activity needed for the development and enhancement of thecultural sector in BC not only in the various communities that make up the Lower Mainland but alsothroughout the province Cultural activities and industries are recognized as important components in adiversified local and regional economy They need to be promoted and developed because they can intensivelycreate and multiply economic activity within the community in a sustainable way and with numerous collective
benefits economic social and cultural An emphasis on arts advocacy can also build suitably on the talentsand prospects of the kind of students who are drawn to the Kwantlen program The proposal repeatedlyemphasizes contribution and service to the community and there is a plan to engage community and industrypartners outside the classroom in service education and practicum opportunities This is a worthwhile goalbut it will require organization of partnerships that meet the pertinent criteria on a sustainable ongoing basisand for a potentially increasing cohort of students These opportunities need to be in place as soon as possiblesince they are essential to the identity of the proposed Kwantlen BMMA and will determine to some extent
how many students the program can accommodate Organizing these practicum activities will itself involve asignificant amount of arts advocacy and sustainability needs to be borne in mind from the outset Thepracticum aspect of the program also seems vitally important in connection with the acknowledgement thatthe program is geared to admit students who have insufficient training for admission to other Bachelor ofMusic programs Such students will of course make progress while studying at Kwantlen but they need aunique training opportunity in order to be competitive with graduates of existingBMus programs
The proposed program aims to provide a unique kind of flexibility to address the needs and interests of itsstudents This is an excellent idea in principle but a flexible program will require very diverse resources andinstructors with very broad expertise or who are willing to teach very irregularly as demand arises How willan appropriate balance between Flexibility and quality of instruction be maintained in such diverse areas asarts management performance compositionsong writing pedagogymusic education studiesjazzcommercial music studies and world music With a relatively small cohort of students how will it bepossible to offer courses in all these areas economically and with the regularity needed to meet studentsinterests and graduation requirements Furthermore most Bachelor of Music programs involve four years oflarge ensemble experience in addition to weekly lessons and chamber music activities Does Kwantlen havethe resources to provide these learning experiences and will the instrument and skill distribution in thestudent cohort allow for viable large ensembles
The Canadian University Music Society has formulated guidelines for BMUS curricula and resources and thesecan provide a helpful background for such considerations which are also relevant to the aim of making theKwantlen BMMA viable as a stepping stone to graduate programs at Canadian and US universities I point outthese practicalities because the university must understand the kind of support and resources that will beneeded to realize the goals of the proposal The success of the program depends on the universitysconfidencethat it can provide everything needed to make a Bachelor of Music program thrive If there is any ambivalenceon that count then the university might consider recasting the program as a Bachelor of Arts in Music it could

Appendix BExternal Consultations

Program Concept Bachelor of Music in Musical Arts Page 21
be one that is enhanced by individual lessons though it might not entail the extensive ensemble experiencethat is the other distinctive component of all BMUS programs
Given these considerations I suggest that the program should carefully plan for a target cohort sizedetermined through detailed logistical considerations of all aspects of sustainable curriculum delivery Thecohort size should reflect the minimal critical mass needed to develop and maintain a thriving new program
that gives students the opportunities experiences and resources they need in order to succeed in the programand beyond This cohort size may exceed the number of Kwantlen diploma students currently interested tocontinue into the new BMMA program and if so a plan for recruitment should be developed andimplemented Getting the new program to critical mass quickly will be essential for its success
All the preceding comments are intended in an entirely constructive sense and I hope you find them useful asyou work at this pivotal stage to develop and implement your new program I wish you every success in thisventure and it will be very gratifying to see a distinctive new music program in BC serving the needs andinterests of students
I am confident that the faculty and administration at Kwantlen have the vision experience and skill that will beneeded to meet the challenges of establishing and maintaining a distinctive new fouryear program in music

Dr Harald Krebs The University of Victoria15 August 2009
The members of the faculty of the Music Department of Kwantlen Polytechnic University whom I hold in highrespect have developed a fouryear Bachelor of Music in Musical Arts program 1 have reviewed the planningdocument and am very impressed with the proposed program
One of its admirable features is its flexibility in accommodating students needs and interests it will allowstudents in consultation with faculty members to craft individual programs that may include aspects ofbusiness performance compositionsong writing pedagogymusic education studies jazzcommercial musicstudies and world music At the same time the program will not neglect the ingredients of traditional BMusprograms music theory history performance studies The proposed format will not only enrich studentsexperiences during their studies at Kwantlen but will significantly expand their opportunities for further studyand for employment graduates will be equipped to proceed into MMus programs across North America butwill also be prepared to embark on careers or further education in fields such as arts management orcommercial music depending on their individual choices during the BMMA program This is exactly the kind
of program that is needed during a time when some of the traditional career options for music students forexample orchestral performance and university teaching are threatened
Another attractive feature of the proposed program is the inclusion of practica with community and industrypartners Such practica will be vitally important in students preparation for a variety of careers in the fine artsFurthermore liaisons with the community and with relevant industry partners cannot but benefit KwantlenPolytechnic University The Department of Music is to be commended for actively pursuing such liaisons
There is every indication that there would be a demand for this program Students are happy with theeducation they currently receive at Kwantlen and are likely to embrace the possibility of continued studies atthe same institution Once the BMMA program is established Kwantlen Polytechnic University is also likely tobecome an attractive haven for transfer students from other institutions

Some strategic hiring will be necessary to launch this program Such hiring is difficult to finance in the current
economic climate but in my opinion this program would be worthy of such support

The Program Concept document for a Bachelor of Music in Musical Arts degree proposed by the MusicDepartment at Kwantlen Polytechnic University presents a very comprehensive model for a degree which hasexcellent potential for success
While offering students a vehicle to develop their musical knowledge core musical competencies and skills in away similar to other Bachelor of Music programs in this province the Kwantlen BMMA proposal creates aunique opportunity for its upper level students not readily available at most other institutions by allowingthem the opportunity to craft an individualized program of study undertaken in consultotion with faculty thatmay be wideranging and may include aspects of arts management performance compositionsong writingpedagogymusic education studies jazzcommercial music studies and world music
It prepares students for entry into the cultural industries sector and the labour market by incorporatingessential skills into the curriculum including cross disciplinary applications of the theory and practice of variousmusical arts
There is a focus on theoretical methodologicol and applied understanding and skills required for employmentandor further studies a realistic component necessary for success in todaysworld The proposal will providethe opportunity for students to engage community and industry partners outside the classroom in serviceeducation and practicum opportunities New technologies and innovative pedagogies will facilitate learning
that equips students for careers or further study in music education professional arts organizations musicscholarship performance or music production
I fully endorse this proposal with its unique approach to music education It describes a degree with anecessary component of practicality and realism that will greatly enhance the postsecondary music degreeofferings now available in the province of British Columbia

As the Associate Director of the Vancouver Recital Society I have on a number of occasions been introduced to
individuals who have expressed an interest in pursuing a career in music quite apart from performance In thepresent universitycollege system music students who may not be suited to performing at a professional levelupon graduation but who still wish to remain involved in the arts have been offered limited exposure to themany different areas that encompass employment in that sector and the alternate ways in which one cancontribute to a rich and varied life connected to music Even in the case of performance majors there is no
guidance on actual portfoliopresentation skills or artistarts management issues and little to prepare themfor the professional challenges that lie ahead
On behalf of the Vancouver Recital Society 1 wholeheartedly support Kwantlen Polytechnic Universitysproposed program Bachelor of Music in Musical Arts BMMA and endorse the essential elements asoutlined in the proposal which prepares students for professional work in a wide variety of fields outside ofperformance In addition our organization will be most pleased to participate as a mentor for the students inthe Program At the conclusion it is hoped that participants will not only gain intensive handson experiencebut have access to valuable contacts in the arts community individuals to whom they can turn for consultationresources advice and networking for employment opportunities
With the many challenges facing the arts today it is vitally important that musicians and those with a passionand commitment to the arts be given the necessary wherewithal to become a strong and knowledgeable voiceIt is our sincere wish to see Kwantlen Polytechnic Universitysproposal become a reality

Here are a few of my thoughts about your proposed degree a Bachelor in Musical Arts BMMA
First off you are proposing some really exciting and innovative ideas which if implemented would putKwantlen on the map as a truly unique educational institution Needless to say the implementation of theseideas will pose a lot of problems which may be very difficult to address In order to implement your wish list Iwould first ask what Kwantlen has or will have in the way of human resources My view has always been thatan educational institution is only as good as its faculty You will have to scrutinize your current faculty to
Form updated January 2009
Program Concept Bachelor of Music in Musical Arts Page 24
determine who will be capable of dealing with the many disciplines you hope to offer prospective studentsIndeed who will be willing to teach these additional courses I would guess that many will feel they are simplynot qualified Im not telling you anything you haventdiscussed Im certain at length All I can do is offersome suggestions which you may feel are feasible
1 Given Kwantlen does not have the resources to implement your ambitious programs 1 would suggest youlook at the VCC model of finding qualified people to teach and ask them if they would be willing or able togive tutorials in the various music and related fields you outline in your proposal The last I heard was thatVCC will consider offering a subject if enrollment is high enough to pay the instructors fee This seems apractical way of offering courses beyond the fundamentals without the University incurring unaffordableexpenses
2 Given that at present there is not enough classroom space to accommodate these additional courses itmight be entirely feasible to ask the instructor of the tutorial if they would be willingable to teach the studentsin their home In fact I took all my composition lessons with Jean Coulthard not in the music school at UBC
but in her home
It may be that your idea of providing mentorships is along the same line as my reference to tutorials In anycase I feel that your ideas may work by going to the community at large to find qualified people willing toteach the various interdisciplinary courses you wish to offer
I would be happy to discuss all this with you both at some future time
Sincerely
Michael Conway Baker0BC
Martin Berinbaum Retired music professor The University of British ColumbiaAugust 2009
I have reviewed the program at length and I think that it fulfills your mandate on paper In practice I have nodoubt you will be able to deliver the program to one extent or another but the inherent problem all musicprograms face in this geographical area is a shortage of qualified students Perhaps the nature of your programand the accessibility which Kwantlen is known foi will allow you enough full time students to make the classessuccessful You seem to have a lot of classes and I wonder how many students you will need in order to runthem

Tapestry Music White Rock
Dave Sabourin Owner
Students are musically very strong in this area Parents down here Asian especially have strong beliefsregarding the importance of music education for their children
When the customer speaks it is the truth When the retailer speaks it is questioned until a relationship isestablished
As an end user I cant find qualified instructors
There is so much demand for good teachers Not just a classical training but also teachers who can alsoplay by ear play for fun Has to reflect current world
In post secondary education there is so much theory but not enough practical
Trends are bound by budgets
Technology becomes obsolete very quickly Need to have continuous financial support
Programs are getting back to being simple because the money just isnt there
Bring more practicality in course design
It is irresponsible to put kids on a career path doomed to fail
Kwantlen must give students every opportunity to explore career options
Jazz adding to breath of self fulfillment
Kwantlen must have a black and white mission statement Know who you arel
Tom Lee Music ILanglev
Ron Koyanagi Manager
Langley is quite a thriving music community Of all the contacts in terms of private teachers we have all ofthem are full
Cap College and VCC have defined themselves in one specific area Created their personalities because ofspecialties
Form updated January 2009
Program Concept Bachelor of Music in Musical Ans Page 28
If jazz was offered locally no one would go to Cap It is the teachers who have always drawn students in thatgenre Students want to learn how to be a pro
Define themselves in ways that set themselves apart
A jazz program would draw people
If you dont change you are dead You have to welcome change You have to grow as the community we servechanges
Because there are so many strong piano teachers in the area they have very high caliber students but they gotto feel there is a very defined program
Kwantlen must act purposefully Get to know the influential people in the local community Kwantlen musthave personal contact
One of the biggest battles is image What do grade 12 students think of Kwantlen Networking with localsreally helps
Long McQuade Music Langley
Steve Martin Manager
Balanced sales Different areas popular at different times of yearsGrowth very good
Out of 100 people maybe 10 take it to the extent that they can
We have a responsibility to make students aware that they are going to need to know certain things if they aregoing to make a living
Have to know both sides of the recording glassExpected to be producer arranger etc AND performer
Kwantlen should definitely consider digital production ie Audio theory to mixers and including video
Build tech course around certain standards so students will be able to adapt to latest programs

Should technology be taught as a separate subject or should it be incorporated into the delivery of othersubjects eg learn to use Finale in a theory class to complete assignments or should we have a course dealingspecifically with different notation programs Explain

Summary
Student opinion appears to be evenly divided amongst three options separated incorporated and acombination of the two that requires students to possess the basic skills addressed by one course which can
be challenged while a second optional upper level course examines advanced concepts and programs forthose interested
Please add any ideas andor comments you would like the Music Degree Development Committee to consider
The amount of practice rooms available is absolutely bad at the moment This must change regardless ofwhatever you choose to install a degree program or not It certainly feels stressful when you have severalpieces to learn every week and you have trouble getting a room to practice even it you manage to get oneother students are not so fortunate will periodically open the door and disturb your practice in the desperatehope that no one will be in there
The timetable is somewhat unpractical several gaps in between classes makes students schedules for work andother things less flexible especially choir 7 l0pm I understand you do this to make it more accessible tocommunity but they are generally people who have day jobs where as the students who generally dont havevery comfortable incomes and rely on the evenings to work Even though I am very pleased you have openedyour doors to the community it doesntseem fair to the tuition paying students to be 2 priority PS IF it ispossible a four day week would be good
Earlier in the survey I emphasized the importance of other kinds of music other than classical This is because
even though classical music is much more scholarly contemporary music is much more realistic for the musicalworld of today What percentage of the mass population pours money into classical compared with how muchmoney the general population contributes to contemporary
Acceptance of mature studentsPart time students taking degree studies over a longer period Summer sessionat Kwantlen
It would be nice to have more stringwind players so that a formaltraditional orchestra could be formed
The standard should want excellence and should be devoted to making every student involved in music be apart of a professional excellent school education program
Credit Large Ensembles outside the School eg Fraser Valley Symphony
Also music production would be an interesting topicsubject people want to record their music and often dontknow how
Also if I was to continue my studies here having longer hours or being open 24 hours would be a hugeconsideration
Music Marketing should be offered as a course this has no relevance to Business of Music Course can offerideas to marketing oneself in the real world like marketing 1100
Maybe a class on music therapy Introducing what it is to see if I would be interested in seeking a career
It would be interesting to have courses on sound systems learning how to use different recording systems Itwould be helpful for individualgroup workConducting Course
It would be great to focus on both classical and jazz music at the same time while working towards a Bachelors
Dorm updated January 2009
Program Concept Bachelor of Music in Musical Arts Page 41
Have a more extensive jazz programI hope school can consider to have Music Education program
Offer a Music Therapy program
Education with music combined in one vein Eg Teaching Music 1100
I believe if Kwantlen offered a BA degree you would attract more students Some dont like to transfer butprefer to stay at the same university
There should be mandatory ensembles because that way people learn to work in smaller groups and thatmakes working in larger ensembles more enjoyable
Due to rumours I have already been anticipating and looking forward to this Hopefully this can beimplemented within the next two or three years so we dontmiss out
There should be a 2 year program where people are broken into 16 person setsFirst year Basic theory knowledgeSecond year complete focus on one of the following
Instrumental studies
Performance
Recording TechniquesAdvanced theory Music HistoryClassical Studies
Jazz Studies
Contemporary Studies
I am taking the certificate program and plan to take the twoyear Diploma program as well but I dont think Iwould finish my degree here

The information culture and recreation group which includes wireless and satellite telecommunicationservices broadcasting Internet and cable services has experienced moderate growth in recent years Inthe mid 1990s when many of these services were just starting up they swept the market at lightning
speed Since 2002 however a number of services in this group have begun to mature while otherswere hit hard when the technology bubble burst especially in the telecommunications Internet andbroadcasting sub sector As a result employment growth has slowed considerably in this industry since2002 Since the beginning of the present decade only two sub sectors have had strong growth the
entertainment gambling and recreation industry and the performing arts thanks to the increase inhousehold disposable income As some of these industries mature and others recover the rate of GDP
growth in this sub sector 28 is expected to equal that of the overall economy between 2006 and2015 However many technological changes in this sector will favour productivity gains overemployment which should limit job growth to 11 annually

BS Is this a cohort selective entry or open access program
The proposed BA in Sustainability and Policy Analysis would be a Selectiveentry openregistration program Students admitted to the program will be granted priorityregistration Other students with appropriate prerequisites will also be able to register inthese courses if seats are available
Lowerlevel courses that are part of the BA SUPA will be offered through a selective entrymodel with the proviso that students admitted to the degree will receive priority It isexpected that students with initial intentions to transfer courses to another program oruniversity may eventually opt for the BA SUPA as has been the experience in other BA
offerings It is therefore key ensure priority registration for SUPA students but not torestrict courses to SUPA students exclusively
B6 How many students would you expect to enroll in each year of the program How will theprogram be rolled out if you are not using a cohort model
Projecting enrolment in non cohort degree programs like the BA is complex At all year
levels BA courses serve a mix of program and non program students It is clear
nonetheless that a number of current students are positioned to enter the proposedprogram when it launches The large majority of lower division courses which willconstitute the degree are currently on offer and running near capacity We expect thatinitial demand for the BA in Policy Analysis will draw from these existing students andthat it will increase once the program is established
Our enrolment based on the experience of the EPT program is anticipated as
Year 1 20 students Year 2 25 students Year 3 35 students Year 4 35 students

Kwantlen Polytechnic University as the only Polytechnic University in BC has anopportunity to play a unique role in the community and thereby offer a novel learningexperience to our students The Bachelors of Arts in Sustainability and Policy Analysis isperfectly suited to fulfill this role The degree is multidisciplinary bringing together theperspectives of Philosophy Political Science EconomicsBusiness and EnvironmentalProtection Technologies in a way that allows each to retain the essence of its disciplineHence the students will be given the opportunity to understand policy analysis anddevelopment through the distinct lenses of each This also means that the degree willconsist primarily of courses already offered in Humanities Social Sciences Sciences andBusiness and Economics All but eight required and recommended courses for the fouryear
degree currently exist These courses were selected on the basis of applicability to thedegree We estimate that approximately eight courses 24 credits outside of Social Sciencesand Humanities will be required for the 4 year degree 120 credits
The degree program aims to encourage and nurture a sense of community among theparticipants To this end the degree is designed around eight courses to which the SUPAstudents will be given priority registration These eight cohort courses consist of oneUmbrella course and one Applied course for each year for the four year degree EachUmbrella course will be designed and offered through one of the four participatingdisciplines and will expose the students to policy analysis and sustainability from theperspective of that discipline The umbrella courses are primarily theory courses In the firstyear for example the Philosophy Department will familiarize students with conceptualanalysis of the notion of sustainability will discuss whether or not we have an ethicalobligation to engage in sustainable practices what the basis for these obligations might beand begin the process of teaching crucially important critical thinking skills
This degree is designed as well to meet Kwantlen Polytechnic Universityscommitment toapplied degrees First the degree requires that the students take one applied course ineach of their four years These courses will be taught by professionals who are activelyengaged in policy development and implementation and will give the participants theopportunity to learn about policy analysis at various levels of government as well as theprivate and non profit sectors In addition the studentsperformance will be evaluated onthe basis of applied projects Second the degree will allow capable and qualified studentsto compliment their studies with Coop employment This program will enhance the
1 Visiting instructors will be hired to teach these courses In the first year of the program we will require onefirst year course to be taught by a visiting instructor In the second year we will require a first year and asecond year course to be taught and so on When the degree is fully developed we anticipate that we willneed a one halftime visiting instructor In order to ensure that students receive instruction on policydevelopment in different levels of government as well as from NGOs and the private sector and since it isessential that each instructor be current in that instructorsparticular area of policy analysis it is necessary thatthis not be a permanent regular position Experts currently working in the field moreover will be importantcontacts for full time and Coop employment of our studentsForm updated January 2009

students learning experience but will also allow us to partner with potential permanentemployers and potential instructors for the applied courses while building support for thedegree in the community
Mature students upgrading their credentials who have life and career experience indeveloping policy or expertise in sustainability will be able to seek prior learning assessmentand credit for relevant experience
Serving the community is also included in the design of this degree The South FraserRegion faces serious local challenges to sustainability While this area has rich andproductive agricultural land there has been long term pressure to use this resource toprovide affordable housing And at a time when policy analysis concerning food security andtransportation is increasingly crucial to issues of sustainability these challenges will providerich learning experiences for our students Kwantlen as a Polytechnic University is uniquelypositioned to take a leadership role in our community by examining learning from andhelping to solve these serious local problems
D Access Degree FPP section 6 Admission and TransferResidency
D1 What entry requirements should applicants be expected to meet If there are multiple entry pointsplease specify requirements for each A graphic representation of this may be attached as AppendixC Are entrance requirements appropriate Are students likely to be successful
This is a four year degree program with two key entry points Students may apply for andenter into the first year of the degree provided that they meet the standard entrancerequirements for the Bachelor of Arts These requirements are
Principles of Math 11 with a C andEnglish 12 with a B
Students may also enter into the program directly into third year upon completion of 60credits including the standard entrance requirements for the third year of the BA providedthat the right electives were selected Allowable course combinations will be outlined in
the FPP Students are not limited to enrolling in this program during any particular yearprovided they adhere to the required courses structure including all prerequisites
D2 Will the structure of the program allow for fulltime parttime evening weekend onlinemixedmode delivery methods or a combination of any of these Identify each asappropriate
Both fully on line and mixed mode courses are contemplated for the SUPA program With elevenyears of experience in course design and delivery using both the Lotus Notes and Moodie platformswe are ready
We would maximize flexibility in delivery by offering not only fully online courses where appropriatebut also mixed mode courses For students who are not self starters or less inclined to work on linethe mixed mode course makes scheduling possible while allowing the students an easier entry intothe techniques of online learning Courses could be offered in evenings and on weekends

D3 Will the structure of the program allow for multiple entry and exit points Be specific useflow charts for clarity
The entrance requirements into first year are consistent with the BA framework
Entrance into third year follows the standard third year entrance requirements for BA whichare a minimum of
0 6 credits of English ENGL 1100 and ENGL 1200 level or equivalent0 2 Quantitative courses from approved list http wwwkwantlencacalendarquantitativehtml0 Language to Grade 11 or 6 credits postsecondary language On the same language or equivalent0 Principles of Math 11 with a C or equivalent ie MATQ 1099 MATP 1011 MATH 1093 ABEM 0011B 12 of 24 credits of Breadth requirements0 All lower level 1st and 2nd year Major program course requirements
0 Cumulative GPA of200 with a minimum grade of C in required courses
Within the current BA framework students must also complete either a language 11 through high school ieFREN 11 SPAN 11 OR 6 credits 2 courses of a second language in the same language
Transferring students would be required to complete first and second year umbrella coursesin their first year of the program that is in year three Since these umbrella courses coverdifferent topics and need not be taken in consecutive sequence students entering into thirdyear would not be at a disadvantage provided that the courses they bring into the programare among the recommended electives or required courses
Students who complete the full program would be awarded a Bachelor of Arts inSustainability and Policy Analysis
E Student Profile
E1 Who are your target students age gender educational background work experienceWhere do they come from recent high school graduates mature students transfers fromother institutions How do you plan to recruit or attract these students Are there othercharacteristics applicants should have that you identify as important
The Sustainability and Policy Analysis Program will attract postsecondary studentsprimarily from the humanities and social sciences who are looking for a program thatfocuses on a specific career in industry government or education Kwantlen currently hasover3000 of these undeclared majors who are looking for a direction in their studies Inaddition the EPT program routinely turns away students that fail to meet the necessaryscience requirements These students will also be targeted To date although SUPA isonly a rumour to students three students have already asked if and when they couldenroll in SUPA courses Sustainability students at other institutions like SFU who wish toupgrade their credentials may be able to enter the program with advanced standing SFUnow offers for example a new program the Sustainable Community DevelopmentCertificate Mature students seeking a change of career will also value a program whichallows them both opportunities for advancement and a chance to make a difference
How do you plan to recruit these studentsWe will seek support from Marketing and Communications to present the program in thecontext of an emerging group of sustainability programs at Kwantlen This branding

together with our outstanding physical plant will emphasize Kwantlen as a centre forSustainability At the other end of the scale we will not neglect posters and word ofmouth during registration Email notification of prospective students will be used ifpossible We will work through online social networks like Face Book
We will seek out and recruit opinion leaders among graduating secondary students Asmall cohort of students with leadership skills and a service orientation will promote theprogram and could ultimately make this degree a flagship
E2 How will the program address the needs of under prepared students How will you getthese students into a qualifying year
How will you get these students into a qualifying year
Students lacking the entrance requirements to the BA Sustainability and Policy Analysisprogram can take the BA Qualifying Year to help them improve English and Math skillsStudents who are successful in completing the BA Qualifying Year within two semestersand achieving the required grade level in English Math and LCOM 1100 will receiveguaranteed admission into a BA program as a selectiveentry student see KwantlenCalendar University Qualifying Studies
Other support services are provided at Kwantlen such as tutoring through the LearningCentre accommodation and services for students with disabilities Academic Counselingand Study Skills Seminars through Counseling Services and library orientations andassistance for student research through Library Services
The first year offerings will incorporate some elements of introductory critical thinkingskills to help students who are on the cusp of being able to work at the 1000 levelStudents who are not there yet will have access to prep courses already available atKwantlen The philosophy department is contemplating a prep course on thinkingargumentation and research which could be mounted if there is sufficient demand from
this program and others For students not quite ready for the scientific and quantitativeaspects of the program special sections of PHIL 1145 Understanding Scientific Reasoningmay be offered While these elements are presented in courses accessible to arts
students there are some who will need the extra background that can be supplied by suchcourses
E3 How will the program address equity by decreasing systemic barriers Is this type of programtraditionally or historically underrepresented in specific cohort groupseggender andorage imbalance First Nations How will the program address these issues
We will in recruiting students emphasize Sustainability as a common goal of all humanityFirst Nations students have stewardship of the land as a cultural heritage that can becelebrated within the program
Given the ideals which drive this program we expect a rainbow effect will be created allare welcome

How will the program address these issuesAll disciplines will be able to support a common human goal This greatly diminishes thechance that any group will be alienated for cultural religious or political reasons Shouldsuch alienation occur there will be multidisciplinary meetings of the teaching faculty todesign ways of breaking down barriers
F Program Description Degree FPP section 4 CurriculumProgram Content
F1 Provide a broad description of the program outcomes and how this program relates to existingor proposed programs at Kwantlen
The BA in Sustainability and Policy Analysis will enable students to integrate perspectivesfrom Philosophy Political Science EconomicsBusiness and EPT for a multifacetedunderstanding of the issues and skills relating to policy and sustainability Students will learnhow to apply effective research writing and oral skills to solve specific problems anddevelop into innovative critical and creative thinkers who can readily adapt to changinglabour markets in these expanding policy fields
With regard to its relation to existing programs the degree will substantially increasecommunication and cooperation among the several departments integral to itsimplementation These include Philosophy Political Science EconomicsBusiness and EPTWith its emphasis upon the policy dimensions of Sustainability it will also provide a perfectcomplement to the proposed Bachelor of Science in Sustainability Science recommended bythe Task Force Report of the Faculty of Science Mathematics and Applied ScienceDecember 2008 This program outcome is particularly desirable in the humanities andsocial sciences since it will help unify them and establish their role as part of a polytechnicuniversity A good number of polytechnics are developing degrees having to do withsustainability
F2 How does the proposed program support existing programs at Kwantlen
The strongly multidisciplinary nature of the program means that the BA in Sustainability andPolicy Analysis cohorts will be integrated into a wide range of courses in other programsparticularly but not exclusively Philosophy Political Science EconomicsBusiness and EPTWe expect that these will contribute to strengthening those courses and programs
F3 Identify how the proposed program supports Kwantlensmission core values andstrategic objectives Please refer to policy L10 Program Prioritization
The Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability and Policy Analysis is perfectly suited to help fulfillKwantlensunique role as the only Polytechnic University in BC The degree is innovativeand multidisciplinary bringing together the perspectives of Philosophy Political ScienceEconomicsBusiness and EPT in a way that allows each to retain the essence of its disciplineThis will give students access to the theoretical and critical insight necessary to be engagedand sophisticated contributors whether ultimately as professionals in policy analysis andsustainability in graduate work or as citizens of their region country and planet Theprogram will allow students to integrate this learning with practice through its significantapplied dimension which requires that students take one applied course in each of theirfour years These courses will be taught by professionals actively engaged in policyFomi updated January 2009

development and analysis and will give participants the opportunity to learn about publicpolicy at various levels of government as well as policies of the private and non profitsectors The degree will also include a Coop placements see F4 further enhancing studentlearning and allowing the program to partner with potential permanent employers whilebuilding support for the degree in the community
Finally the BA in Sustainability and Policy Analysis will allow Kwantlen to build on itsdeveloping reputation as a regional leader in sustainability as evinced by the LEED GoldCertification for the Cloverdale Campus and other high profile campus design initiativesCoupled with the proposed Bachelor of Science in Sustainability Science recommended bythe Task Force Report of the Faculty of Science Mathematics and Applied Science
December 2008 and our successful program in Environmental Protection the degree willcontribute to defining Kwantlen as the institutional leader in sustainability in highereducation in British Columbia
F4 How will the program ensure educational effectiveness egretention rates completion ratessuccess rates for progression
Does the program create opportunities for students to ladder from current programs
The degree program is designed to encourage and nurture a sense of community among theparticipants being built around eight required courses that all program participants willcomplete These eight cohort courses consist of one Umbrella course and one Appliedcourse for each year for the four year degree To help students feel that they belong as partof a cohort working on the degree umbrella courses for all students in the program will bedesigned and offered through one of the four participating disciplines and will expose thestudents to policy and sustainability issues from the perspective of that discipline TheApplied courses will be taught by professionals who are actively engaged in policydevelopment and analysis giving participants the opportunity to learn about policy atvarious levels of government and in various sectors In addition part of student
performance will be evaluated on the basis of applied projects The degree will allow capableand qualified students to augment their studies with work semesters
Kwantlen offers a range of opportunities to integrate certificate diploma and associatedegree credentials with Bachelor Degrees creating more options for students to ladderwithin current programs Because the degree program incorporates a substantial number ofexisting course offerings in other programs laddering will be facilitated by the fact thatmany of the proposed required courses for years one and two of the BA in Sustainability andPolicy Analysis are likely to have been taken by students in the BA General Studies or in the
AA streams in Political Science Philosophy and Economics programs or related programsin the Social Sciences and Humanities
F 5 Describe how the proposed program incorporates coop placements work experiencepracticum clinical practice etc if applicable
The degree requires that the students take one applied course in each of their four yearstaught by professionals in policy development and analysis This will offer studentsimportant access to an applied perspective in the field We hope that capable and qualifiedstudents will have the opportunity to participate in a Co op program which will bothenhance the students learning experience and enable us to build relationships withForm updated January 2009

potential permanent employers Municipalities in particular are a likely source of coopplacements based on our initial exploration of opportunities
F6 Does this program include Prior Learning Assessment PLA as per Policy B14 Credit for PriorLearning
As the program develops we expect interest from mature students upgrading theircredentials who have life and career experience in developing policy or expertise in
sustainability and who will seek prior learning assessment and credit for relevantexperience Students requesting credit for prior learning will be asked to fulfill requirementsas per the Policy B14
F7 Are current faculty able to deliver the program If not how do you plan to address this issue
The BA in Sustainability and Policy Analysis combines the development and delivery ofcohort umbrella and applied courses with a more traditional multidisciplinary degreestructure incorporating existing courses in Philosophy Political Science EconomicsBusinessand some from Environmental Protection Technology not requiring science prerequisitesThe four applied courses will be taught by visiting instructors with professional experienceand expertise in the field of policy regarding sustainability In order to ensure that studentsreceive instruction on policy development in different levels of government as well as NGOsand the private sector and since it is essential that the instructor be current in his or herparticular area of policy it is essential that this not be a permanent regular position In thefirst year of the program we will require one firstyear course to be taught by such aninstructor In the second year we will require a first year and a second year course to betaught and so on by the fourth year of the program we will require that four courses betaught by a visiting instructor
Faculty in all programs integral to the BA in Sustainability and Policy Analysis either haveareas of specialization which coincide with existing and proposed new courses to beintegrated in to Degree or else are willing to acquire sufficient expertise to be able tocontribute to courses within the program The latter can take the form of the design andimplementation of the limited number of new courses that departments will need toimplement as part of their participation in the program more commonly it will take theform adaptations of existing courses which will be integrated into the BA in Sustainabilityand Policy Analysis program in light of the priorities of the degree
As the program combines efforts and expertise primarily from Humanities and SocialSciences the program will be the joint responsibility of Humanities and Social SciencesHowever the program will require an instructorcoordinator that will be responsible formanaging faculty workload course rotation championing space needs and resourceacquisition dealing with student issues acting as a resource for instructors teaching appliedcourses who may not have experience as teachers and managing timetables In the initialyear of the degree we anticipate the Program Coordinator would need a 38 release fromteaching responsibilities This would be reduced to 28 in subsequent years Hiringinstructors to teach the applied courses will be done by a Search Committee consisting oftwo instructors from the program the Program Coordinator and a Dean of Humanities orSocial Sciences

G Outcomes
G1 Will this program allow students to continue with further study
Describe Iaddering bridging or post credential continuation of education
This is primarily a policy analysis degree As such it will prepare students for graduate studyin policy and sustainability programs SF Us public policy graduate program requires abachelorsdegree of non specified orientation and will be attractive to students interestedin pursuing graduate options We believe that our graduates rooted in public policy issues
and policy analysis for NGOs and private industry will be better prepared to take on suchgraduate studies than students from programs which place less or no emphasis on policyanalysis
G2 What is the nature of the work students are being prepared for Include current labour marketdata that shows a demand for this type of graduate
Organizations in both public and private sectors increasingly expect their employees tomonitor the effect that their business has on sustainability to develop and implementpolicies for corporate responsibility CR in sustainability area and to communicate theirsustainability agenda to their citizens stakeholders shareholders and customers TheProgram Developers will continue to document the existence of this demand in BC and
Canada through letters from specific potential employers as the program moves through thisapproval process
The programsinnovatively multidisciplinary and applied focus offers a number of careertrajectories In both the public and private sectors organizations increasingly expect theiremployees to monitor the effects of their practices upon sustainability develop andimplement policies for corporate responsibility in the sustainability area and communicate
their sustainability agenda to their citizens stakeholders shareholders and customersPotential employers may thus include but are not restricted to a appropriate departmentsof federal provincial and municipal governments eg urban planning departments naturalresources and fisheries departments etc b Chambers of Commerce c large naturalresource and forestry companies d large public utilities e large real estate developers flarge manufacturers g environmental NGOs h labour unions and others
While we are well aware that there are many employment opportunities for students withthe expertise this degree will provide current labour market information will be of limiteduse in determining existing labour demand since the current classification does not include
the titles sustainability officer and sustainability analyst
Tentatively we can expect the nature of work to include setting achievable sustainabilitygoals analyzing barriers to achieving goals researching available policy solutions applyingappropriate sustainability measures conducting analysis of budgets and policy proposalswith special emphasis on sustainability etc
However the proposed degree will contribute to educational outcomes for students whichgo beyond employability by developing citizenship and ethical professional tracks which willprovide non monetary sources of professional satisfaction for students

Summary of InPerson Meeting November 2 2009
Like all multidisciplinary degrees this program will need to ensure that there is somesubject area that the students achieve sufficient depth in order to qualify as an area offocus I suggest that this be accomplished by having a thread that ties all of the umbrellacourses together For me this would mean focusing on the most difficult challenge forpolicy namely how can policy effect the necessary changes in peoples behavior to achievesustainability Answering this question will require an inter disciplinary approach but willprovide a significant focus for the degree I would love to teach such a course

Quote from E mail Response February 21 2010
Good looking curriculum I have no doubt that youll attract students who will definitelyfind work in this growing and unpredictable field especially given the current carbon policydiscussions Companies today get this stuff and more and more need trained experts onstaff to align their soft interests with their businesses
Maggie Baynham Campus Climate Network Organizer Sierra Youth CoalitionQuotes from Email Response November 15 2009
I had a read through the exec summary and it sounds great I love theumbrellaapplication model and I think youll be hitting a great niche with having coursesthat are geared toward experiential learning something that most other schools at leastthe big schools which have so far been the leaders on sustainability miss altogether I alsolove the multidisciplinary nature with a lot of content being drawn from existing coursesand the fact that the core courses will foster a sense of community amongst the students
in the program

Institutional Resources Degree FPP section 8 Program Resources
As mentioned in C1 the applied portion of the degree will require that we hire a limitednumber of contract instructors who work in analyzing and developing policyIn consultation with IET it was determined that little or no additional computer ortechnical support or equipment would be necessary for the degree
Given that this will be a new area of study we anticipate that we will require additionallibrary services Clearly the program will require a budget for the purchase of books andresource material and will in this sense use additional library resources However giventhat the bulk of the required and recommended courses are already being offered atKwantlen even this expense will be limitedAn important learning outcome for graduates of a policy analysis degree is the ability todo effective research We are designing modules with the help of the InformationLiteracy Librarian to make use of our librarianteachers throughout the students fouryear program This series of modules would complement the applied courses to ensurethat this outcome is achieved
11 What expertise equipment facilities and library resources will the program require tosupport student learning Ensure that any required new resources in these areas areidentified in the Costs section 1
One of the main advantages to this degree is that it requires no equipment or labsA dedicated classroom for the eight cohort classes would help create a sense ofcommunity among our students In addition dedicated general space that allowedstudents to congregate would also be optimal Facilities estimates that renovation an
existing space would cost between L00 5150 per square foot while new constructionwould cost between 200 and 250 per square foot However these can be developedonce the program is up and running

support services anticipated for program students etc Development and Success
I like the open approaches to the degree and would like to suggest that my division of Student Developmentand Success can support students in this degree in the following ways
Counselling can assist students with clarification of career options which complement the valuesknowledge and skills developed within the degree and with making adjustments to universitylifereturning to study In addition of course the regular personal counselling and specialised learningassistance is provided by the counsellorsLearning Centres staff faculty and tutors can assist through tutoring support in writing mathstatsquantitative reasoning study strategies We are working on online supports but these are in the early
stages of development at present
Student Life and Development may support the program through working with students to developgroups or clubs such as a mature student support groupclub or a special club that promotes theideals or provides activities associated with sustainability

Thanks for submitting your program concept document for my perusal At this point the only issue that I wouldlike to raise is the admission and progression language in section D3 I would eliminate the sentence beginningwith However it is not essential as I think it may be more confusing to make a statement about progressionrequirements which dont exist rather than simply remaining silent on it Also in the same paragraph I wouldsimply refer to year 3 as year 3 even for transfer students

Degree Proposal Review Report
Executive Summary
The Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability and Policy Analysis degree program proposal was reviewed by the Office ofInstitutional Analysis Planning in FebruaryMarch 2010 The present document presents the key findings
In general the data and other information the Office of Institutional Analysis Planning provides are designedto provide a gauge of the practicability of the program from the perspective of its ability to attract sufficientstudents and to suggest potential ways of improving its viability This report consists of four main sections 1Competitive Environment 2 Student Demand 3 Labour Market Demand and 4 General Comments
A similar degree program is not currently being offered at any of the public postsecondary institutions in BCMoreover most policy analysis and sustainability degree programs at the public postsecondary institutions inCanada are graduate level programs However there is an increasing focus by postsecondary institutions on
incorporating sustainability concepts into teaching research and operations all around the world According tothe Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education AASHE an association of American
colleges and universities that are working towards a sustainable future at least 100 majors minors orcertificates in energy and sustainability were created at the postsecondary institutions in the USA in 2009
Due to the lack of comparable programs to the proposed program in BC the overall enrolments and credentialsawarded in Bachelor of Arts degree programs are presented in this report Enrolments in the Bachelor of Artsdegree programs at British Columbiascollege institute and regional universities increased by 5 in the threeyear period from 200607 to 200809 Enrolments in the Faculties of Social Sciences and Humanities programs atKwantlen increased by 16over the same period The largest number of enrolments at the Faculty of SocialSciences has consistently been in the Associate of Arts Degree unspecified Associate of Arts Degrees inCriminology and Psychology and Bachelor of Arts Degree in General Studies programs The largest number ofenrolments at the Faculty of Humanities has consistently been in the Associate of Arts Degree in English FineArts Diploma and Music Diploma programs
The proposed degree program identifies Kwantlen Faculties of Social Sciences and Humanities students whohave yet to declare a major applicants who have been rejected by the Environmental Protection Technologyprogram and adults working in the sustainability field as its three major target markets In the 200809academic year the number of Faculty of Social Sciences students who were studying towards an associatedegree and have yet to declare a major was3199 Fifteen students in Fall 2007 13 in Fall 2008 and 11 in Fall2009 were rejected admission to the Environmental Protection Technology Program however it is not possibleto determine whether they were rejected as a result of not meeting the science requirements of the programKwantlen Regionspopulation is aging The median age of the region has increased to 401 in 2006 from 378 in2001 The population of 1821 year olds is projected to decline between 2006 and 2016 in every college region inthe Lower Mainland Over the same period the population of 2544 year olds is forecasted to increase in almostevery college region in the Lower Mainland Although the program plans to target the growing adult market itdoes not have features designed to attract the mature student currently working in a related field Addition ofsuch features would expand the potential student audience for the program

The current industry coding system used by Statistics Canada which is the North American IndustryClassification System NAICS is not fine enough in detail to report the industry sectors in sustainabilityMoreover the environmental employment is a new field with emergent new occupations therefore the currentoccupational coding system National Occupational Classification NOCS used by Statistics Canada does notinclude occupations relating to the field of environmental protection and sustainability However environmentalemployment is forecasted to increase considerably over the next several decades Many countries around theworld have already realized the significance of environmental conservation for a competitive economy and arein the process of developing policies to create a behavioral change towards environmental protection
More and more organizations in Canada including private and public postsecondary institutions and corporationsare showing a growing interest in sustainable practices The results of the 2010 Best Employers in Canada studyshowed higher employee engagement in organizations with a higher degree of corporate social responsibility Alldepartments of the Canadian Government are encouraged to develop their own sustainable developmentinitiatives and contribute to federal governmentspolicy development efforts in sustainable development Theneed to strengthen ongoing efforts and support new efforts is likely to create a demand for sustainabilityprofessionals at different levels of the provincial and federal governments
An estimated 530414 workers in Canada have an occupation related to environmental protection andconservation preservation of environmental sustainability In 2006 Ontario had the largest percentage ofenvironmental employees at 425and it was followed by BC at 18 It is estimated that there are 22537establishments in British Columbia that employ at least one environmental employee ECO Canadas2007environmental sector labour shortages study identifies Natural and Applied Science Policy ResearchersConsultants and Program Officer as one of the 11 out of 529 environmental industry occupations that are inshort supply The number of green jobs in the USA is projected to grow from 750000 to 42 million over thenext three decades
Those academic institutions which proactively upgrade their curriculum to reflect the new realities of the 21century economy will be amongst the leaders forging a new path to a more sustainable society while ensuringtheir course and program offering are more relevant to the employer and employee of the future SustainabilityLabour Market Trends A Canadian and International Perspective UBC p19

The purpose of this section is to provide an informed view of the labour market trends in BC and Canada for allthe occupational groups that fall under the postsecondary field of study of the proposed degree Unfortunatelythe current industry coding system used by Statistics Canada which is the North American Industry ClassificationSystem NAICS is not fine enough in detail to report the industry sectors in sustainability Moreover theenvironmental employment is a new field with emergent new occupations therefore the current occupationalcoding system National Occupational Classification NOCS used by Statistics Canada does not includeoccupations relating to the field of environmental protection and sustainability
Please note that the terms green jobs and environmental employment are used interchangeably throughout thissection of the report International Labour Organization ILO defines environmental or green jobs as work inagricultural manufacturing research and development RD administrative and service activities thatcontribute substantially to preserving or restoring environmental quality Specifically but not exclusively thisincludes jobs that help to protect ecosystems and biodiversity reduce energy materials and water consumptionthrough high efficiency strategies decarbonize the economy and minimize or altogether avoid generation of allforms of waste and pollution Green lobs Towards Decent Work in a Sustainable Low Carbon World p3
Environmental employment is forecasted to increase considerably over the next several decades The reasonsbehind this expected growth are
Environmental regulationGrowing public and consumer awarenessBusiness need to reduce costs and liabilities
Baby boomer retirementsIncrease in energy and commodity pricesGrowth in emerging economies such as China and IndiaGrowth in clean tech investingDeteriorating infrastructureSmart growth development with population growth and city migrationGrowing interest in ecosystem services
Declining natural resources and need for ecoefficiencyTechnological innovation Sustainability Labour Market Trends Report UBC 2009
Many countries around the world have already realized the significance of environmental conservation for acompetitive economy and are in the process of developing policies to create a behavioral change towardsenvironmental protection The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD measuresranks and tracks the environmental progress of its member countries on indicators that cover a broad range ofenvironmental issues A countrysrank is based on its average rank for all 29 environmental indicators with thebest performance given a 1 and the worst a 30 The chart below presents the environmental performance ofCanada in some of the key measurements

Canada lags behind OECD countries in almost every one of the 29 indicators In 2002 for the 29 environmentalindicators measured by OECD Canadasoverall ranking was 28 out of 30 OECD nations Canada is one of thethree worst countries on eight environmental indicators More importantly Canada did not show muchimprovement on any of the indicators between 1992 and 2002 Canadas2002 overall ranking was the same as itwas in 1992 According to a report prepared by the University of Victoria in collaboration with OECD thepossible reasons for Canadasdismal environmental performance include
ineffective environmental laws and policiesinadequate resources for environmental protection and enforcementgovernment bias favouring economic growth over environmental protectiongaps in coverage due to jurisdictional disputes between federal and provincial governmentsa continued reliance on resource and energy intensive industries andfailure to incorporate environmental limits values and costs into the economic system Canada vs the OECDAn Environmental Comparison p35
David Suzuki Foundation also identifies the lack of policies on national sustainability as one of the main reasonsbehind Canadas inferior performance and its failure to improve it over the years Significant improvements insustainability can only be achieved with the right public policy A comparison of Canada to OECD countries withsimilar characteristics but superior environmental performance clearly shows the role of public policy inachieving sustainable development The Maple Leaf in the OECD Comparing Progress Toward Sustainability2005

Clarification Required
It is dear nonetheless that a number of current students are positioned to enter the proposed programwhen it launches Program Concept Section 86p2 Is there any evidence that supports thisstatement
Section C1 Executive Summary explains the interdisciplinary nature of the degree program and providesinformation on the structure of the programWhy is the curriculum that was included in the previous version of the concept document not includedas an Appendix in this version of the program concept document A visual representation of thecurriculum is helpful in understanding the interdisciplinary nature of the proposed degree and its overallstructure
All but eight required and recommended courses for the fouryear degree currently exist These courseswere selected on the basis of applicability to the degree We estimate that approximately eight courses24 credits outside of Social Sciences and Humanities will be required for the 4 year degree120credits
Program Concept Section C1p3Which courses are the ones that currently exist Are these courses currently being offered at theFaculties of Social Sciences and Humanities Or are they the eight courses that will be offered incollaboration with other departments
In addition the studentsperformance will be evaluated on the basis of applied projects Program
Concept Section C1p3The following footnote is attached to the above sentence
Visiting instructors will be hired to teach these courses In the first year of the program we will require one firstyear course to be taught by a visiting instructor In the second yew we will require a first year and a secondyear course to be taught and so on When the degree is fully developed we anticipate that we will need a onehalftime visiting instructor In order to ensure that students receive instruction on policy development indifferent levels of government as well as from NGOs and the private sector and since it is essential that eachinstructor be current in that instructorsparticular area of policy analysis it is necessary that this not be apermanent regular position Experts currently working in the field moreover will be important contacts for fulltime and Coop employment of our students
Should the footnote be a part of the sentence preceding the above sentence
The Sustainability and Policy Analysis Program will attract postsecondary students primarily from thehumanities and social sciences who are looking for a program that focuses on a specific career in
industry government or education Program Concept Section E1pS
Will the new program target the existing student body at Kwantlen If the program targets students whoare already enrolled in a program at KwantlensFaculties of Social Sciences and Humanities there will bea shift between programs however the overall enrolments of the institution will not increase unlessstudents who plan to graduate with an associate degree decide to join the program at 3 yearThis section of the program concept document does not mention whether the applicants who wererejected admission into KwantlensEnvironmental Protection Technology will be targeted If the
program intends to target this group of individuals it should be included in this section
We will have certificate programs for those who are not ready to do the entire degree Program ConceptSection E2p6Section D3 the section about the entry and exit points of the proposed degree program discusses onlyone exit point which is the Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability and Policy Analysis credential that will be

awarded to students who complete the full program If the program intends to offer students the optionto exit with a certificate this option should be included in section D3 of the proposal
The prep courses and the entry by way of the certificate will be used to raise students who have beenheld back by any such barriers Program Concept Section E3 p7What is meant by the entry by way of the certificate Which certificate does this section refer to
Coupled with the proposed Bachelor of Science in Sustainability Science recommended by the Task ForceReport of the Faculty ofScience Mathematics and Applied Science December 2008 and our successfulprogram in Environmental Studies the degree will contribute to defining Kwantlen as the institutionalleader in sustainability in higher education in British Columbia Program Concept Section F3p8Which program does Bachelor of Science in Sustainability Science refer to Is it the Bachelor ofSustainable Science in Sustainable Agriculture degree proposed by the Faculty of Science andHorticulture Which program does Environmental Studies refer to Is it the Environmental ProtectionTechnology Diploma Program offered by the Faculty of Science and Horticulture
We hope that capable and qualified students will hove the opportunity to participate in a Coop programwhich will both enhance the students learning experience and enable us to build relationships withpotential permanent employers Program Concept Section FSp9What exactly is meant by capable and qualified students Is co op going to be a voluntary option forthe students of the program
What opportunities are there for people working in the field who have some postsecondary education
to enter at 3 year How does the program plan to attract mature students already working in a relatedfield

What Is Higher Education for Now
Education does not occur in a vacuum It
begins with different and often unstated preanalytic cultural assumptions about how whyand what people learn and the kind ofaptitudesand skills necessary to support and pass on aparticular kind ofsociety whether theocraticdemocratic industrial or what is now beingcalled sustainable The specific goals of education and the art and science of instruction
further depend a great deal on whether thosebeing educated are presumed to be empty vessels to be filled with knowledge or to haveinborn qualities that can be drawn out and disciplined In general pre collegiate and collegiate education in the United States wasmodeled on the former belief that people areborn ignorant and so must be improved inorder to increase public virtue support democracy provide the skills necessary for economicgrowth and more recently serve the information economy and the development of highand ever higher technology That model hasbecome dominant virtually everywhere
It is now generally accepted however thatthe modern project of economic growth anddomination of nature has gone badly awryThe excesses built into the industrial system

capable of speeds of 125 miles per hourBut rapid technological change is now
reshaping the social cultural and ecologicallandscape everywhere In short order humansare creating a different planet arguably a different human nature and a global culture thatis evolving faster than people can comprehendand adapt ro The challenges of conceiving andbuilding a durable civilization in other wordsare sweeping But the dialogue about sustainability has been almost exclusively focused onhow to arrest emironmenral deteriorationas
if the evolution of machines and prostheticdevices is unrelated and unproblematic
Under these circumstances it is appropriate to ask What is education for Whar kindof education will enable the rising generationto deal with increasingly complex and portentous global issues What do they need toknow and how should they learn it And whatis the role of professional educators and institutions of higher learning in equipping theyoung to live fill and productive lives relevantto the larger topography of their time Whatever the specifics the answer must be the kindof education that enables students to live us
tainably competently and decently in recognition of their dependence on the web of lifeIt would be a kind of education that extends
their sense ofobligation and possibility to a farther time horizon This will require fundamental changes in the curriculum changes inthe design and construction of schools andcampuses and a more expansive view of therole of educational institutions
The Development ofEnvironmental Education
The idea that education ought to be harnessedto advance the related causes of environmen
tal sustainability and justice has gathered considerable momentum in recent years In the
Tbilisi Declaration of 1977 organized byUNESCO and the UN Environment Pro
Page 20 of 01March 2010
gramme representatives from 66 countriescalled for the inclusion ofenvironmental edu
cation in national educational programsAmong their recommendations were 12 guiding principles to make education interdisciplinary and a lifelong process that integratedenvironmental science and issues across theentire curriculum
The principles from Tbilisi and similar documents since then have been clearly statedplausible and well intentioned but they havenot led to change commensurate with thescale of the problems They addressed Virtually everything about the modern educationalenterprisefrom teacher training programs tothe stranglehold of disciplines and the procedures for attaining tenure in the modernacademyconspired to undemiine changes orrender them marginal The goals did not fitthe organizational and professional structuresbuilt up over many decades Plus the underlying assumptions of education in generalincluded the unstated belief that the envi
ronment was both too vast to be significantlyaffected by human actions and otherwise useful mostly as a resource to be exploited foreconomic growth
Still against considerable resistance significant progress has been made in the pastthree decades But the purposes of environmental education remain deeply controversialreflecting much of the ambiguity inherent inattempts to define sustainability and chart aplausible course to a more durable decentand just future Many unresolved questionsremain on overall purposes and specific issuessee Box 9 but there is no legitimate question that the human presence in nature isincreasingly precarious and that the biosphereis uncomfortably dose to the threshold ofirreversible changes in Earth systems Even sothere will be no early consensus on the meaning of loaded and complicated words likesustainability or agreement about whatschools colleges and universities should do

Is it necessary to love nature or do peoplejust have to have a basic ecological competency in order to live in harmony with itWill the end of the era of cheap fossil fuelssignificantly threaten the systems that provide food energy and materials and sorequire skills necessary to a greater degree oflocal self reliance If so how should practicalskills be induded in the modern curriculum
To what extent does an adequate response toenvironmental deterioration require a
cultural paradigm shift Or can humans berich numerous and in control of the forcesof nature as Herman Kahn once put it andalso be sustainable If so the curriculumwould be mostly more of the same withgreater emphasis on science and technologyTo what extent is nature still natural and
not an artifact of human manipulation Is

Box 10 Maximizing the Value of Professional Schools
To spread cultures of sustainability the transformation of higher education cannot stopat the undergraduate level but will need topermeate professional schools as well Thegood news is that this is starting to happenMore law schools are offering environmentallaw programs agricultural schools are teaching sustainable agricultural techniques andmedical schools are greening their labsallindicators that sustainability is being incorporated into a vast array of professional programs Business schools may be the onesthat are most actively adopting ideas ofsustainability
Many business schools have started torethink what makes a good business managerA few have devoted themselves fully to sustainable management such as the PresidioSchool of Management and Bainbridge Graduate Institute Many others have started toincorporate sustainability into their curriculamore broadly A biannual survey by the AspenInstitute tracks over a hundred business
schools around the world to measure their
commitment to environmental education and

By the mid1990s the first studies of cam

foundation for better campus managementThe National Wildlife Federations campusecology program ably led by Julian Kenirybrought increased awareness of environmental issues to campuses and developed materials useful for improving efficiency andintegrating campus management with curriculum Walter Simpson created and directedthe first successful universitywide energy efficiency program at the State University of NewYork Buffalo Others like Will Toor at theUniversity of Colorado created effective campuswide recycling and low impact transportation programs The emergence oforganizations such as the North AmericanAssociation for Environmental Education and
the American Association for Sustainability in

In the late 1990s two factors significantlyfocused attention on what Keniry had calledthe campus ecology movement and the designof the campus The first was the rapid growthof the green building movement in the UnitedStates the United Kingdom Europe andAsia Thc result has been an effort to reduce

buildings while lowering costs for operationsand maintenance The first substantially greenbuilding on a US college campus was theAdam Joseph Lewis Center at Oberlin Collegeconstructed in the late 1990s which is still theonly entirely solarpowered zero dischargebuilding on a US college campus Other andlarger more complex buildings including science facilities followed on hundreds of other
campuses so that green building criteria havebecome standard for new academic construc
tion worldwide
Thc second driver in the green campusmovement has been increasing concern aboutrapid climate change The four assessmentreports of the Intergovernmental Panel onClimate Change in 1991 1995 2001 and2007 and a large and growing body of scientific evidence has established beyond legitimate dispute that climate is changing and thathumans are the culprits It is now clear that thespeed scale and duration of climatic changeare at or beyond the worstcase scenarios ofeven a few years ago
The first call for carbonneutral campusesappeared in the Chronicle ofHigher Educationin 2000 But the effort to organize both professional organizations and academic leadershipbegan in earnest with the efforts of 12 collegeand university presidents in collaboration withSecond Nature AASHE and ecoAmerica toget other presidents and professional academicsocieties to publicly commit to move theirinstitutions toward carbon neutrality More
than 600 college and university presidents todate have signed the pledge Thc results couldbe both the reduction of a significant fractionofUS carbon emissions and a sterling example of leadership for other sectors ArchitectEdward Mazria calculates however that theaddition of only four new medium sized coalplants anywhere in the world would eliminatethe gains even if all US institutions of highereducation were to eliminate their carbon diox
ide emissions entirely

Future Initiatives
Despite considerable progress since the Tbilisi Conference in 1977 there is a great dealmore to be done to create the permanent institutional and cultural wherewithal to educate
people around the world about systems andecology and equip them with the capacity tothink across the lines of professional and disciplinary specializations But promising effortsare under way See Box 11
Beyond institutions of higher educationmany diverse organizationsfrom SchumacherCollege in Devon in the United Kingdom tothe Center for Eco Literacy in Berkeley Californiaoffer teacher training expertise incurricular reform and forums for rethinkingcore assumptions underlying education andthe broader culture Formerly UScentricorganizations like the Bionecrs are becomingimportant nodes in the global conversationabout the intersection of ecology educationand justice The authors and organizers of theEarth Charter are similarly creating a transnational dialogue about education rooted ininternational law philosophy and ecology
There are signs of a larger shift in the roleof institutions of higher education in the transition to sustainable economies as well The
Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona has devel
oped collaboration with the Barcelona CityCouncil to enhance the sustainability of public events On a larger scale Judith Rodin aspresident of the University of Pennsylvaniafrom 1994 to 2004 led an imaginative andsweeping transformation of West Philadelphia using institutional investment to leverage several billions ofdollars ofoutside fundsThe efforts reversed urban decline in dozens
of blocks surrounding the university and offera brilliant example of not only urban renewalbut leadership in higher education Joinedto the campus ecology movement collegesand universities everywhere might becomecatalysts for prosperous post fossil fuel

Box it A New Focus for Scientists How Cultures Change
It seems dear that unequivocal knowledge ofcivilizationsbiophysical peril alone is insufficient to spark the changes required to avoidits collapse We also need a greater understanding of how cultures change whichunderlines the desperate need for global society to focus its attention on the need for a cultural revolution Providing that focus is thegoal of a Millennium Assessment of HumanBehavior MAHB that is in the early stagesof development
In light of the success of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change a smallgroup of natural and social scientists andhumanists is working on starting the MAHBIt is currently being organized by the GlobalSustainability Alliance with member groups inthe United States Norway Sweden Ghanaand China It will ideally be launched witha global conference involving scholarspoliticians and a broad spectrum of stakeholders This would be followed byworkshops regional conferences worldwide policydebates and research activities
Major roles of the MAHB will include generating public discussion on the causes of self
regional economies while equipping studentswith the analytical skills knowledge andinspiration to design and build a decent fairand sustainable world

The organizers basic goal is to find waysto reframe peoplesdefinitions of and solutions to sustainability problems and to promote a global discussion about what humangoals should be The MAHB will invite peoplefrom literature and the arts to develop narratives and visual materials as signposts toguide civilization toward sustainability Peopleneed visions of futures that do not include
perpetual growth of consumption or humannumbers the idea that having gadgets is theultimate goal of human life or the notion thatgross domestic product is the best measure ofhuman well being
One of the MAHBsearly tasks will be tosecure governmental buy in and enlist thesupport of key decisionmakers in industryacademia the media religious communities
into the curriculum at all levels The second
goal involves creating a model of GNH incentral Bhutan where civil servants and teach
ers alike can take long and short courses thatrenew their commitment to environmental
protection sustainable economic developmentand responsible and accountable leadershipThe goal is to create a self perpetuating systemthat joins individual psychology with largerecological and cultural systemsfs

Appendix A What i5 Higher Education for Now
Appendix B As Colleges Add Green Majors and Minors Classes Fill UpBy Julie Schmit
Colleges are rapidly adding new majors and minors in green studies and students are filling them fastNationwide more than 100 majors minors or certificates were created this year in energy and sustainabilityfocused programs at colleges big and small says the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in HigherEducation Thats up from just three programs added in 2005
Two factors are driving the surge Students want the courses and employers want the trained students saysPaul Rowland the associationsexecutive director
Theresa great perception that theres a sweet spot with energy to do good and do well and it appears to bethe place of job growth says Rob Melnick executive dean of the Global Institute of Sustainability at ArizonaState University
The institute started an undergraduate program in sustainability studies with a focus on solar a year and ahalf ago It now has about 600 students whove declared sustainability a major The growth rate isunprecedented even though the program has the toughest admission standards of any school at the universityMelnick says
Other schools are also seeing big demand including
Illinois State University in Normal III The school of 21000 students has 65 majors in renewable energy aprogram started in 2008 with help from a 1 million Department of Energy grant The program has morestudents wanting in than we can handle says Richard Boser chair of the Department of TechnologyNearby employers including those in wind energy hope to hire future graduates Boser saysMassachusetts Institute of Technology In September it launched a minor in energy studies A studentsurvey said 43 of freshmen and sophomores were very or extremely interested in it Thats a very largenumber says Vladimir Bulovic associate professor of communication and technology MITs studentenergy club has 1700 members vs several hundred a few years ago Bulovic saysUniversity of California Berkeley The school has seen student interest in its introductory energy classexplode Ten years ago it attracted 40 or so students Now the class runs 270 says Daniel Kammen
director of the schoolsRenewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory
The Obama administration has estimated that jobs in energy and environmental related occupations will grow52 from 2000 through 2016 vs 14 for other occupations
Thats partly why budgetstrapped schools are adding energy and sustainability programs even while cuttingother majors Rowland says

Appendix C Sustainability Comes of AgeBy Henry Fountain
When Andrew Pattison was looking to pursue a graduate degree in sustainability he drew on his post collegeexperience working as a conservation biologist in upstate New York Butterflies were his thing and he producednumerous recommendations about what should be done to protect them I found that quoteunquoteimportant people who were decision makers would read the reports I filed and then not follow them MrPattison says
Those frustrations led him in a different direction I knew I wanted to study the way decisions were made onenvironmental policy he says He also knew where many of the important decisions were made in cities Withenergy and climate policy he says the problem is global but all politics are local
Mr Pattison 32 is now a doctoral student in the sustainable urban infrastructure program at the University ofColorado Denver Its one of a growing number of graduate programs in sustainability where the issues affectingcities are front and center
Weve seen a growth in programs that are more focused either on a particular geographic area or on adiscipline says Paul Rowland executive director of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability inHigher Education The organizationsWeb site aasheorg lists nine universities offering doctoral or mastersdegrees in urban sustainability studies and many more programs include the urban environment as a centralpart of their studies
In some ways the shift reflects a comingofage of sustainability as a field away from the backtonature ethosof earlier efforts and toward a realization that there are grittier problems and solutions The environmentalmovement has expanded to understand that people are at the center of these issues Mr Pattison says Itsnot just save the trees for the trees sake
But beyond that sustainability programs are also beginning to better reflect the demographics of their students
Too much of environmental planning and policy focuses on wilderness and rural areas says Julian Agyemanprofessor and chairman of the department of urban and environmental policy and planning at Tufts University inMedford Mass Yet most students lives are lived in the urban environment
Mr Agyemansdepartment is one of the pioneers of urban environmental studies it was founded in 1973 byHerman Field who had been planning director for the universitysschool of medicine from 1961 to 1972Writing some years later about why he created the program he said 1 was appalled by the mindless despoilingof the physical environment essential to any quality of life urban or otherwise
The University of Coloradosprogram began in 2003 with money from the Department of Education butexpanded in 2007 with a fiveyear National Science Foundation grant to finance 26 doctoral students accordingto the programsdirector Anu Ramaswami a professor of environmental engineering The program has aboutthe same number of mastersstudents
In New York City College announced in October that it would begin a mastersprogram in sustainability in theurban environment The plan is to enroll 18 to 20 students the first year says Latif Jiji the programsdirectorand students will be able to focus either on architecture sustainability issues relating to buildings and parksor engineering where recycling and clean power will be major subjects
But as with most such programs the emphasis will be interdisciplinary The philosophy is that the problemsthese people are going to face are really complex Mr lip says They dont fit into nice little categories Wewant people with different backgrounds to work together

Like other students in Coloradosmultidisciplinary program Meghan Bernard is working with a city in hercase Broomfield northwest of Denver as she pursues her masters in engineering Much of the work has
involved crunching numbers to come up with a baseline greenhousegas inventory for Broomfield the climaterelated costs of transportation shelter food and other aspects of urban life But now she will be working withresidents to develop an action plan for improving the cityscarbon footprint
I dont see myself as an engineer or a policy person Ms Bernard says I enjoy the hard numbers but theengagement part is important for me as well
Mr Pattisonsarea of concentration is public policy hes been working with the university on analyzing itscarbon footprint and developing a climate action plan and with his class work done he will soon be starting a jobas the universityssustainability officer for its downtown campus But as he put it the program has not involved

Appendix D Research from Best Employers in Canada Study Builds Business Case for Investment inCorporate Social Responsibility
Hewitt and CBSR Data Establishes Strong Relationship between Employee Engagement and Views on CSR
TORONTO Results from the 2010 Best Employers in Canada study indicate that executives of Canadianemployers believe the return on investment in socially and environmentally responsible practices justifies theexpenditure Their instincts are correct there is a strong correlation between employee engagement andemployee views of their employers record on corporate social responsibility
Hewitt Associates the global human resources consulting and outsourcing company that conducts the BestEmployers in Canada study each year partnered with Canadian Business for Social Responsibility CBSR tounderstand the relationships between CSR perceptions engagement and other work environment factorsBetween the Best Employers in Canada study and the companion Best Small Medium Employers in Canadastudy for smaller organizations Hewitt and CBSR gathered opinions from over 100000 employees and 2000leaders at more than 230 workplaces
This is the first largescale quantitative Canadian study to investigate the relationship between employeeengagement and perceptions of corporate social responsibility said Neil Crawford Hewitts leader of the BestEmployers in Canada study The findings demonstrate that organizations with high employee engagement havea higher degree of readiness to focus on CSR as a strategy to improve overall organizational performance andbetter meet the needs of employees and external stakeholders
When executives were asked what they viewed as the potential benefits of investing in or pursuing socially andenvironmentally responsible practices their top three responses were a positive organizational reputationhigher or sustained employee engagement and eliminating wastereducing their impact on the environmentEightysix per cent of employees at organizations with high engagement agreed or strongly agreed with thestatement that they worked for an employer that was socially and environmentally responsible That figure was71 per cent at employers with moderate engagement and only 60 per cent at those with low engagement
The most frequently implemented CSR initiatives for Canadian employers areCommunity investment fundraising and sponsorshipsWaste reduction recycling reduced usageBusiness travel reduction use of videoconferencing or teleconferencingResponsible purchasing equipment and supplies
CSR initiatives least frequently employed includeOffsetting business travel carbon offsetsSubsidizing low carbon travel public transit or parking for alternative fuels vehicles
Not only do the results establish the strong connection between CSR and employee engagement weve learnedthat declining employee perceptions of CSR within an organization can be a significant threat to engagement forover a third of organizations said Barb Steele Director of Membership CBSR Combined initiatives to sustainboth employee engagement and support CSR transformation will likely yield a better return on investment thanindividual non coordinated efforts

Consulting
This new course will equip PR diploma grads with the skills to use a freelance consultingbusiness as a job search strategy for permanent work or to assist them in between jobs to bridgegaps in employment Since the nature of PR work is often contractual this course will assist newpractitioners to successfully launch themselves with other members of the PR profession whoare the sources of that contract work and hopefully future full time employment
Proposal for Course Changes within the PR Diploma Program for September 2010
Background
Now that the PR Diploma Program has moved into the School of Business it is time to review the program structure so that the courses thatmake up the Public Relations Diploma are aligned with the School of Business and build the competencies that will help PR students tolearn the broad base of knowledge required to be successful in the career of public relations
Accordingly as Coordinator of the PR Diploma Program I am proposing the following changes for consideration

MEMORANDUM
At the Faculty of DesignsDecember 2009 Curriculum Committee meeting the modification to Year 3of the Bachelor of Design Fashion Technology degree program model was approved FashionDesign hopes to implement the changes in Fall 2010
Rationale
In 2008 and 2009 the Fashion Design and Technology Program conducted an extensive ProgramReview Based on the feedback from industry the Advisory Board graduates and fashion facultymembers on the necessity of a draping course and the need to update the technical productioncourses the Fashion Program instituted draping curriculum in FASN 3120 this year and beganupdating production curriculum in both FASN 3120 and FASN 3140
Having now determined that draping requires its own course Fashion Design adjusted the curriculumof Year 3 courses WITHOUT adding credits The program plans to discontinue FASN 3140 4 creditsand replace it with FASN 3130 4 credits Some of the content in FASN 3140 will be integrated intoa revised version of FASN 3120 and will be brought forward at a later date
The modifications will not affect current 4th year and current 3rd year who have taken the existingcurriculum in terms of graduating The program will advise those students when filling out thegraduation forms to choose the option to graduate with curriculum that existed when they enrolledas shown below They are
Current 4th years will graduate in Spring 2010 with the requirements that existed when theybegan the old onesCurrent 3rd years will graduate in Spring 2011 with the requirements that existed when theybegan the old onesCurrent 2nd years will be the first to take these new courses and so will graduate with the newcurriculum in Spring 2012
