Contact the Institute for Environmental Studies for details. Introduction Canada's first interdisciplinary Collaborative Program in Ethnic and Pluralism Studies offers students an interdisciplinary specialization at either the Master's or Doctoral levels. The graduate departments of Anthropology, Geography, Industrial Relations, History, Centre for the Study of Religion, Sociology and the faculties of Nursing and Social Work contribute courses and supervise graduate research. Students must apply to and be registered in one of these participating departments or faculties and their programs of study must be acceptable to both participating units and the Collaborative Program. This program's objective is to expose students to diverse approaches in interdisciplinary research on ethnicity and pluralism.
Students can learn and profit from research done in several areas.
The program is also constructed to provide a broad framework for the systematic study of ethnicity. Since much of the current research being done by various agencies in this area is already interdisciplinary, the specialization will provide the student with better skills and opportunities to be engaged in such research after graduation. General Requirements Candidates for the degree Master of Arts, Master of Industrial Relations, Master of Science in Nursing, Master of Social Work and Doctor of Philosophy must be accepted by the participating department or faculty under their regulations. Ethnic and Pluralism program requirements can be met concurrent with, or in addition to, departmental or faculty requirements. The program in international relations can also be combined with a graduate degree in Law.
