Minimum Admission Requirements

• Applicants who wish to enrol in the collaborative specialization must apply to and be admitted to both the collaborative specialization (CS) and a graduate degree program in one of the collaborating graduate units.

• Applicants to the Master of Arts, Master of Education, Master of Global Affairs, Master of Industrial Relations and Human Resources, Master of Public Policy, Master of Science, and Master of Social Work degree programs are admitted by the participating graduate unit under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies.

Completion Requirements

• Students must follow a plan of studies acceptable to both the participating graduate unit and the CS in Ethnic, Immigration and Pluralism Studies.

• Collaborative specialization requirements may be met concurrent with, or in addition to, graduate unit requirements. Students should consult specific graduate unit listings for information.

• 0.5 full-course equivalent (FCE) in ethnicity, immigration, or pluralism.

For coursework-only programs, students must complete an additional 0.5 FCE in ethnicity, immigration, or pluralism coursework.

• A coordinating 0.5 FCE seminar in ethnicity, immigration, and pluralism (EIP3000H). The seminar is the place to discuss, compare, and bring together the various approaches to the study of ethnicity, immigration, and pluralism.

• Attendance at a minimum of one lecture per session (two per year) from the Harney Lecture Series organized by the CS in Ethnic, Immigration and Pluralism Studies.

• When a practicum or other major activity is required, it will focus on ethnicity, immigration, and/or pluralism.

• It is understood that the major paper or thesis as required by the graduate unit will be in an area relevant to the specialization.
