    Collaborative Program in Women's Studies

    Students admitted to the Collaborative program in women's studies at the master's level must meet the requirements for a master's degree in their primary program as well as the requirements of the women's studies program. Normally, the women's studies courses are recognized as partial fulfillment of the requirements of the student's primary program, in which case the passing grade in the relevant FEM course or courses is the same as that specified for the primary program.

    The Women's Studies requirements are:

    • Two compulsory courses:
    • FEM5300 FEMINIST THEORIES (3cr.)
      FEM5103 FEMINIST METHODOLOGIES (3cr.)

      Students must complete the two compulsory courses before their first registration for the major research paper or thesis.

    • A thesis or major research paper on a topic related to women, gender, feminism or sexualities. The proposed topic must be approved by the Women’s Studies Graduate Committee as well as by the student’s primary program. The thesis or major research paper must demonstrate knowledge of feminist scholarship in the field or fields appropriate to the topic, and of feminist methodologies where applicable.
    • The thesis supervisor must possess Women’s Studies and/or feminist expertise. In the case of a major research paper, the supervisor should, ideally, possess Women’s Studies and/or feminist expertise. If not, one of the readers must possess such expertise. Joint supervision by a professor from the participating unit and a professor chosen by the WSGC may be appropriate in some cases.
    • Thesis or Major Research Paper Proposal: The thesis or major research paper proposal must be approved by the Women’s Studies Graduate Committee as well as by the primary program. Usually the thesis or major research paper proposal is submitted to women’s studies by the end of the third session of the first year of studies. For the primary programs that do not require a proposal, students must still submit a proposal to the Women’s Studies Graduate Committee.
    • Examiner or Reader: One of the examiners (for the thesis) or reader (for the major research paper) must be a person approved by the Women’s Studies Graduate Committee.
    • The passing grade in all courses is C+. Students who fail two courses (equivalent to 6 credits) must withdraw from the program.

    Duration of the Programs

    The requirements of the MA or MSc program are usually fulfilled within two years of fullt-time study and within one year and four months for the MHK. The maximum time permitted whether full-time or part-time is four years from the date of initial registration.

    Residence

    All students admitted full-time must complete a minimum of three sessions of full-time registration, regardless of which program is chosen.

    Minimum Standards

    The passing grade in all courses is C+. Students who fail two courses (equivalent to 6 credits) must withdraw from the program.
