Prior Learning Assessment
An innovative process is available at Capilano College whereby students may receive college credits for
learning acquired in formal and informal situations. This process, called Prior Learning Assessment (PLA),
is of immense benefit to mature students who have work and life experiences that equate to courses offered
at the College. For example, if you have on-the-job work experience in computers you may be able to receive
credits offered in one or more office or business administration courses. You will need to prove that you
have acquired the knowledge, skills and values required in the formal course you are requesting credit for.
This is done by providing evidence of what you have learned. This might include any one or combination of
the following: a work site visit, documentation, interview and oral presentation, portfolio. For more information

Incomplete Grade "I"
1.
If the student believes an exceptional circumstance exists which prevents him/her from completing the
course during the regular time frame, the student may petition the course instructor for an incomplete
("I") grade.

Academic Information
2.
3.
4.
5.
An incomplete ("I") grade may be given where, in the judgement of the instructor, the student should
have reasonable expectation of passing the course, but has not completed the required work.
An incomplete is assigned only when the instructor and student have arranged for the work to be
completed by a specified date within four months of the end of term. If the student does not complete
the work by the specified date, the instructor will automatically assign a predetermined grade reflecting
the work not completed.
If the student completes the work by the specified time, the instructor will assign the final grade.
If this incomplete procedure cannot be applied in the opinion of the instructor, the instructor is directed
to contact the Registrar directly for resolution of the issue.
COURSE OVERLOAD
1.
2.
3.
Registration in more than five academic courses or more than the full requirements specified for a
career program constitutes a course overload.
Students may choose to register for a course overload (up to a total of 21 credits) as long as they have
discussed their need or wish for an overload with a counsellor or advisor and the Course Change form
bears the counsellor’s or advisor’s signature. Science students, however, are automatically allowed to
register for more than 16 credits, as long as the total credits do not exceed 21 credits and registration
does not result in more than five courses.
Students may not register for a course overload until classes commence.
COURSE CHALLENGE
Admitted students may request a course challenge whereby an examination for achievement may be awarded
for a very specific and limited selection of courses at the institution. Certain courses may not be challenged.
Students interested in this procedure should contact their instructor.
The regular tuition fee must be paid for a challenged course. A course challenged successfully will be
recorded on the permanent student record.
Note
Credit for courses challenged successfully will apply to certificates or diplomas at Capilano College.
Students should be aware that other colleges and universities may not grant credit or transfer credit
for credit received by course challenge.
Fees and Fee Payment
Fees are under review and subject to change without notice. The most current fee information is available
on the College website at www.capcollege.bc.ca/admission/fees
Graduation
Convocation ceremonies are held in the Summer and Fall terms. Credentials are issued only at these two

are generally considered for admission based on their individual merits according to the admission standards
set by the institution, faculty or program. As affirmed by the Council of Ontario Universities (December 7,
2006) "Applicants to provincially assisted universities in Ontario are considered for admission on an individual
basis in a process whereby the appropriate range of academic and other relevant evidence is weighed."
Students who are interested in further studies after completing degree programs are advised to consult the

Academic Policies and Procedures
ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend all classes, seminars, labs in which they are officially registered, as evaluation
of progress in any course is cumulative and based on class assignments, participation and examinations.
ENROLMENT STATUS
Full-time status: A student registered in a minimum of nine credits is classified as a full-time student. For
most scholarships, however, the requirement for full-time status is 12 credits. Please refer to individual
scholarship applications.
Generally, for provincial and federal financial aid purposes, a student registered in a minimum of nine credits
will be considered to have met the enrolment requirement for financial aid. Please verify eligibility with the
Financial Aid office.
Audit: An audit enrolment indicates the student has registered in and will attend a course without writing
examinations or submitting work, papers, lab reports, etc. Full fees are required for audit enrolment.
Attendance at lectures, labs and seminars is required. However, for those students who do not meet the
attendance requirement, their permanent student record and transcript will be annotated with the comment
AUDIT DENIED. Audit status in a particular course is not calculated in the GPA, does not have credit
attached, and may not be used toward completion of a credential.
Students are permitted to register for audit status in a particular course only as of the first day of classes,
on a space available basis, with the instructor’s signature. Students may change their registration in a course
from credit to audit or audit to credit during the Add/Drop Period with the instructor’s approval and signature.
Second Year Standing: Second year standing is based on the number of credits completed within a program
as noted below:
i.
ii.
University Transfer: successful completion of 24 credits in that program;
Career programs: successful completion of 50 percent of the total credits required for a two-year
diploma in a specified program, or 30 credits.
EXAMINATION PERIOD
The last two weeks of the fall and spring terms are designated as an examination period. If a final examination
is to be given, it will take place during the examination period and will be up to three hours in duration. The
last week of each summer session is designated as the examination period.
For some Career/Vocational programs, classes will continue as regularly scheduled throughout the
examination period. In addition, a special examination schedule may be set. Detailed information is available
from instructors or program coordinators.
The examination schedule will be posted by the end of the eighth week of instruction for the fall and spring

Academic Information
Grade Point Average (GPA)
Grade performance is expressed in terms of a grade point average (GPA). GPAs are reported on each
Official Transcript of Academic Record. To calculate the term GPA, the grade point value for each grade is
multiplied by the credit hours to produce a number of grade points for each course. For example, an "A"
received in a three-credit course would become, for purposes of the calculation:
A = 4.00 x 3cr = 12 grade points
To calculate the term GPA, the sum of the grade points is then divided by the number of credit hours taken
in one term only. Similarly, the cumulative GPA recorded is the sum of total grade points for all terms, divided
by the number of credits for all terms of enrolment.
The minimum grade point average for graduation is 2.00. Some programs require a higher grade point
average for graduation purposes. Please refer to the relevant program section of this calendar for further
information.
Audit
An audit indicates the student has registered in, and attended a course without writing examinations or
submitting work, papers, lab reports, etc. An audit status is not calculated in the GPA, does not have credit
attached, and may not be used toward completion of a credential.
Withdrawal — Extenuating Circumstances
Withdrawal from a course after the end of the withdrawal period is only granted for exceptional circumstances,
which are often related to a medical situation. Information about the documentation required for such
withdrawal is available from the Registrar's Office.
CR or NC Grade
The grades CR or NC are assigned to courses in which a level of mastery is required for successful
completion, but is not included in the GPA calculation.
F Grade
All Fail or F grades recorded on the student’s Official Transcript of Academic Record are assigned a value
of zero in the calculation of a student’s term and cumulative GPA.
I Grade
An I grade or Incomplete may be assigned by the institution in exceptional circumstances when the student
can achieve a passing grade by completing one or more units of the course. It is the student’s responsibility
to determine from the instructor what must be done to complete the course. If an Incomplete is not cleared
within four months, the grade will be changed to the evaluation attained at the time the I grade was assigned.
GRADE APPEALS
Students must take immediate action for a grade appeal. Students must contact a counsellor no later than
two weeks after the end of term or after receipt of a Change of Grade Notification. The counsellor will discuss
the grade and appeal procedure with the student and with the instructor. The counsellor will provide the
student with a Final Grade Appeal form and will submit a report to the Appeals Committee.
Capilano College 2007/2008 Calendar
22
rev.2007-05-23T105937-0700
Academic Information
If the student wishes to pursue the appeal, he/she must complete the Final Grade Appeal form and submit
it to the Appeals Committee within 14 days after the counsellor’s report has been received by the Appeals
Committee Secretary. Failure to meet this timeline will be grounds for dismissal of the appeal.
Appeals are considered by an Appeals Committee chaired by one of the College deans. The Committee
consists of representatives from faculty, students, and a counsellor. During the appeal process all term
grades, including the final examination mark, are taken into consideration. In all cases, the students are
informed in writing of the Committee’s decision.
Only those appeals that follow the above process will be considered.
REPEATED COURSES
Without the permission of the instructor, a student may take the same course for a second time (withdrawals
are included). The grade for each of these two attempts will be recorded, but the higher of the two grades
will be used in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average (CGPA).
With the permission of the instructor of the particular course or a designated faculty member, a student may
take the same course for a third time. The grade for each of the three attempts will be recorded, but the
higher grade of the last two grades will be used in the calculation of the CGPA.
ACADEMIC HONOURS
The following notations and awards are determined by the Registrar's Office based on criteria as noted:
Dean's List
All students who achieve a minimum Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) of 3.67, have no Incompletes, no
No Credit Granted or Fail Grades, and have completed a minimum of 12 credits for the term are given Dean's
List status for that term.
Students completing a term and meeting the Dean's List criteria will receive a congratulatory letter from the
College recognizing their achievement.
Merit List

ACCESS AND ACCOMMODATION POLICY FOR STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES AT CAPILANO COLLEGE
I.
Preamble
Capilano College recognizes the importance of providing access to learning opportunities for all. To
this end, the College endeavours to provide access to courses and programs for applicants with
disabilities and/or special education needs.
Capilano College is also committed to supporting the successful learning of students after they have
been admitted. Following admission, the College will strive to provide, within reasonable time and
resource limits, access to a range of appropriate services which will assist students to meet their
educational goals.
The approach chosen by Capilano College is one of self-advocacy and one in which each student takes
personal responsibility for meeting his or her own needs. While primary responsibility for the provision
of services to students with disabilities rests with the student and the Student Services and Foundation
Programs Division, the supportive physical, academic, and social environment is the responsibility of
the entire College.
II.
Intake Procedures for Applicants with Disabilities
1. The Office of Disability Services is the identified first point of contact for all applicants with disabilities.
Timely contact with the Office of Disability Services will allow for an accommodation or classroom
modification to be in place when classes begin. Applicants with disabilities must meet College and
program admissions and eligibility criteria and provide current documentation to receive services
as outlined in College calendars.
2.
Applicants may be assisted with the following:
a. Completion of the Application process
The Office of Disability Services provides information about the completion and submission
of application forms and admissions procedures.

The Office of Disability Services, in collaboration with the Advising Centre, helps applicants
to select courses and programs in which they have a reasonable opportunity to succeed.
c.
Development of an Accommodation Plan
The Office of Disability Services, in collaboration with faculty in various program areas, assists
applicants to develop an accommodation plan which will serve them when they are accepted
as students.
III. Eligibility for an Accommodation and Services
1. Eligibility for Accommodation
a. Eligibility for an accommodation is based upon the assumption that each student will be able
to demonstrate an ability to benefit from the accommodation and services provided for him or
her; attempting to ensure that such accommodation and services do not offer an advantage
over other students.
b. To be eligible for an accommodation through the Office of Disability Services, students are
required:

STUDENT CONDUCT POLICY
To enhance their opportunities for educational success, the College expects all students to conduct themselves
so as to help, not hinder, their fellow students, staff and instructors in achieving their common goals.
1.
Aims of this Policy
The College regards certain forms of conduct as improper and unacceptable and will deal with such
behaviour following processes which regard both the rights and safety of the College community.
The purposes of this policy are:
1.1. To facilitate:
• Creation of an environment conducive to learning and teaching;
• Development of a community based on civility and mutual respect;
• Respect for diversity and free intellectual inquiry;
• Respect for property;
Capilano College 2007/2008 Calendar

rev.2007-05-23T105937-0700
Academic Information
• Maintenance of individual safety.
1.2. To ensure that violations of this Policy are dealt with in an equitable, unbiased and timely manner.
This policy does not cover behaviour which is subject of a complaint under the Sexual Harassment
Policy or the Academic Policies of the College.
2.
Appropriate Conduct
The College recognizes that most students make considerable sacrifices to be able to attend classes.
To enhance their opportunities for success, the College expects everyone to conduct themselves so
as to help, not hinder, their fellow students, staff, and instructors in achieving their common goals.
One of the most important of those goals is to develop the skill of critical thinking through the free
expression and exploration of a wide range of ideas. This may involve challenges to students’ and
faculty’s strongly held beliefs and values. As long as such challenges are clearly directed at ideas, and
are not merely personal attacks on those who hold them, the College accepts and encourages them
as part of the learning process.
Nothing in this policy shall be construed as to prohibit peaceful assemblies and demonstrations or
reasonable expressions of free speech.
3.
Improper Behaviour
Improper behaviour is defined as either disruptive behaviour or as threatening and dangerous behaviour.
4.
Disruptive Behaviour
Some kinds of expression and behaviour do not further the learning process; they may become disruptive
to all concerned and may hinder the College’s basic purpose: to foster both learning and a constructive,
positive attitude toward learning. Therefore, the College will not accept disruptive behaviour in any
College-sponsored activities whether conducted on or off campus.
Disruptive behaviour may include but is not limited to:
•
5.
Speech or action that seriously distracts others from the task at hand, or the hindrance of others’
work by failure to complete one’s own work;
• Speech or action that is clearly not part of a learning process and that creates an atmosphere of
hostility, intimidation, ridicule, or anxiety among other students, staff or instructors;
• Action that impedes the delivery of College services;
• Falsification of identification or provision of false information to any College employee or representative
in the performance of his/her duties;
• Action that abuses College property and services by using them for unauthorized purposes;
• Excessive and unreasonable demand for attention or special treatment from faculty or staff, to the
detriment of other students;
• Actions which are arguably violations of the B.C. Human Rights Code or municipal bylaws;
• Aiding, inciting, abetting or acting as an accomplice in the commission of any of the foregoing acts.
Threatening and Dangerous Behaviour
All members of the College community are expected to show respect for the College and its students
and employees. Behaviour that is threatening or dangerous to others is unacceptable and will be dealt
with quickly and firmly. The College will protect its students and employees against such conduct.
Threatening or dangerous behaviour may include but is not limited to:

SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
1.
2.
Capilano College is committed to providing a working and learning environment that is free from sexual
harassment. For the purpose of this policy, members of the College community include students, staff,
faculty, and administrators. Capilano College abides by the Human Rights Act of British Columbia and
the Canadian Human Rights Act and considers sexual harassment to be one of the eight prohibited
grounds for discrimination under the B.C. statute. Actions contravening this policy may constitute grounds
for a disciplinary response. All members of the College community have a responsibility to ensure
awareness of, and adherence to this policy.
Sexual harassment is comment or conduct of a sexual nature, including sexual advances, requests for
sexual favours, suggestive comments or gestures, or physical contact when any one of the following
occurs:
a. the conduct is engaged in, or the comment is made by, a person who knows, or ought reasonably
to know, that the conduct or comment is unwanted or unwelcome;
b. the conduct or comment has the effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment,
and may include the expression of sexist attitudes, language and behaviour;
c. the conduct or comment exploits the fiduciary relationship between students and employees of the
College;
d. the conduct or comment is accompanied by a reward, or the express or implied promise of a reward,
for compliance;
Capilano College 2007/2008 Calendar

e.
f.
the conduct or comment is accompanied by reprisal, or an express or implied threat of reprisal, for
refusal to comply;
the conduct or comment is accompanied by the actual denial of opportunity, or the express or
implied threat of the denial of opportunity, for failure to comply.
This policy is not intended to infringe upon the ability of instructors to academically discuss issues
of harassment, sexism and sexuality.

a. to serve as the first official College contact in allegations of sexual harassment; and
b. to provide a confidential advisory/information service to the parties involved in sexual harassment
allegations; and
c. to make appropriate recommendations to the President’s Advisory Committee on Sexual
Harassment; and
d. to provide the College Community with information on the issue of sexual harassment, and to lead
the effort to educate the campus community on the Sexual Harassment Policy.

union, staff union, Student Union and Capilano College administration shall:
a. review, from time to time, the effectiveness of the sexual harassment policy and procedures; and
b. make appropriate recommendations to the President; and
c. be available to the President for consultation regarding the selection of the Conflict Resolution
Advisor, and the development of a list of mediators.

continue to have access to any applicable grievance and problem resolution procedures approved by
the Board, or included in collective agreements, as appropriate; but a complainant may not concurrently
pursue a particular sexual harassment complaint through these sexual harassment procedures if he/she
pursues any other problem resolution procedure whether at common law, under statute or under any
other College policy or collective agreement to which the College is a party.

CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION
Co-operative education integrates a period of classroom learning with periods of work experience to enable
students to apply their knowledge and skills. Students alternate periods of full-time study with periods of
paid and unpaid employment in business, industry, government and non-profit organizations. The goal is
to develop high calibre graduates, better able to assume productive jobs.
Employers may use co-op students to assist in building a work force that meets the short-term needs of
their organization. Students can undertake special projects and provide relief for permanent staff who may
be undertaking other tasks. In the longer term, employers have a cost effective means of evaluating potential
future employees.
The co-op experience provides students with a superior, well-rounded education enriched by the practical
application of their skills. They obtain valuable "hands-on" experience and are able to evaluate their career
choices.
The College receives immediate feedback on the quality and relevance of the program areas and on the
quality of the students. Co-op education also helps the College develop contacts with the business community
in general.
The following are co-operative education programs at Capilano College:
•

STUDENTS’ UNION
The Capilano Students’ Union (CSU) is a democratic autonomous organization dedicated to advancing the
interests of students by working to achieve a system of post-secondary education which is accessible to all.
Membership in the Student Union commences at registration and includes both part-time and full-time
students. The Union works to protect the rights of students and to advocate wherever decision making
affects the quality of life for students at Capilano College. For example, the Union appoints student
representatives to college committees to ensure that student perspectives are a part of the College’s decision
making processes. The Union also organizes social, political and cultural events and provides a variety of
low-cost services to members. Capilano students are also members of the Canadian Federation of Students
(CFS), an alliance of 500,000 students across Canada. Through the Canadian Federation of Students, the
Union works to advance post-secondary education policies in areas such as tuition fees and student financial
assistance.
The CSU's Executive Committee coordinates the campaigns, services, and activities of the union. Elections
for all vacant or expiring positions on the board are held in the first five weeks of Fall and Spring terms.
Students interested in getting involved with their students' union are invited to drop by the office in the Maple
building for an orientation. Students who wish to be involved in campus community can join committees,
participate in planning campaigns and events or relax and socialize in the student lounge.
Several valuable services are provided by the union. The CSU Used Book Sale allows students to buy and
sell used textbooks and save significantly on their textbook expenses. Students are encouraged to get their
free copy of the Capilano Students' Union Handbook and Day Planner, which serves as a guide to the many
resources the CSU has to offer. Further information may also be obtained by visiting the CSU's website at

Preparatory Programs
Preparatory Programs
General Information
Many students who enter Capilano College require preparatory courses to meet entry level requirements
for a particular college program, or to upgrade their academic skills from basic literacy to the Provincial Level
(regular or adult Dogwood Certificate).
Students who have been out of school for a number of years and want to resume their education often find
that the Adult Basic Education program best meets their needs. Most courses in the program are self-paced
and may be taken on a part-time basis. Full-time students attend classes in which they work up to five hours
a day in the classroom with College instructors. In addition, some courses require independent study outside
of class. The level of courses in the Adult Basic Education program ranges from Basic Literacy to Provincial
(Grade 12) level. Many of the upper-level courses, taken alone or as part of a larger program of studies, will
meet entry requirements for university transfer and career/vocational programs.
The preparatory courses which are offered by a number of departments at the College are designed to
upgrade students who lack course prerequisites for university transfer and career/vocational programs.
Many of these courses are taught in two-hour classes that meet twice a week for an academic term (15
weeks). In addition, considerable independent study is required outside of the formal instruction period.
Either the Adult Basic Education program or the preparatory courses offered in the University Transfer
departments may satisfy the student’s upgrading needs. Students should refer to the Adult Basic Education
section of the Calendar or contact the program coordinator. For information on other preparatory courses
consult the Advising Centre at 604.984.4990 (Birch building, room 238).
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/preparatory
Pre-University Transfer Level Courses
For students who do not have some of the course prerequisites for University Transfer or Career programs,
the College offers the following pre-university transfer level courses. Students interested in registering for
the following pre-university transfer level courses must apply and be admitted to the University Transfer
program.

College and Career Preparation Program (Web-Assisted)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The object of the program is to improve the participation and success rates of students who are planning
to attend post-secondary institutions. The program helps students to gain confidence at college by developing
college life-skills while gaining academic qualifications.
Typical students in the program include those who want to:
•
•
•
•
•
try school again after at least one year away;
refresh their skills and improve their GPA before entering a college, career or university transfer program;
upgrade high school courses in a supportive learning environment;
develop skills for participating in computer-based/online courses, but would like to be introduced to this
technology with the help of a teacher in the classroom;
explore career and education choices before selecting a further program of study.
Students may start the program in either September or January. The program is full-time (classroom activities
Monday through Thursday, 10:30 - 3:30 plus online activities) for 15 weeks. Students should begin the
application process at least two months prior to the start of classes. There are "Information Sessions"
where students can come and visit the College campus, and ask questions about the program.
The program makes extensive use of computers. In addition to two computer courses, the English, Math
and Career Planning courses use computers for portions of the course content. Learners do not need strong
computer skills to enter the program, just the desire to improve their skills using computers.
There is a computer lab dedicated to the program, and there is one computer for each student. These are
instructor-led classes supported by web-assisted technology. Attendance and participation are keys to
student success. The maximum class size is 20 students.

Speech Assisted Reading, Writing and Math (SARAW
and SAM)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The SARAW program, offered by the Foundations for Independent Living Department, offers literacy upgrading
to students who have physical disabilities, limited or no speech and may rely on the use of technological
communication devices such as Canon communicators, Blissymbolic boards etc. Speech Assisted Reading
and Writing (SARAW) offers an unprecedented range of opportunities to explore and address the literacy
needs of this unique group of learners. SARAW classes at Capilano College (North Vancouver and Sunshine
Coast campuses) enable students to upgrade their literacy level using computers with assistive, voice
synthesized technology. SAM classes enable students to upgrade their basic numeracy skills using the
same assistive, voice synthesized technology. Students set goals for each term which are evaluated on an
ongoing basis.
Some examples of goals set by students are:
1.
to learn to read personal correspondence independently
Capilano College 2007/2008 Calendar

rev.2007-05-23T105937-0700
Preparatory Programs
2.
3.
to improve the reading and understanding of employment related print material
to achieve high school equivalency.
These goals are personal in nature and represent the individual’s own needs for literacy achievement. The
accumulation of individual achievements may lead to formal higher education such as that offered by an
Adult Basic Education program.The classes are held over two semesters (Fall and Spring), offering students
self-paced instruction in various time slots. Students must attend a minimum of 20 hours per week. Graduates
have accomplished this through various combinations of:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
in-lab instruction at the College
in-residence instruction
in-residence tutorials
independent in-residence time
independent lab time at the College.
Students registered in the class will have a SARAW computer station installed in their residence. SARAW
can also be installed into a student’s existing computer, provided it is a compatible system. This system will
be on loan from Capilano College to the students for the length of their registration in the class. Students
are expected to act in a mature, independent manner regarding decision making, transportation and
completion of assignments. Transportation arrangements are the responsibility of the student. Personal
Care Support is also the responsibility of the student, but financial support may be available through the
College.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/speech
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Students interested in enrolling in SARAW classes must first arrange an interview with the department. They
should be able to demonstrate a firm knowledge of the alphabet and the sounds related to each letter. They
should also be able to articulate a goal for literacy upgrading. Students will be asked to produce a short
writing sample to identify strengths and weaknesses in reading and writing. Numeracy levels can also be
assessed during the interview process.

General Information
University transfer courses at Capilano College provide students with a variety of options. Students can
select a full program of study equivalent to the first two years of university (see note on Course Selection
and Advising), and can enrol on a full-time or part-time basis. University transfer courses are of interest both
to students who plan to transfer to a university and to students who do not intend to continue to upper-level
studies.
For those students who need extra help in basic skills, Capilano College offers preparatory courses and
academic support services (see Writing Centre, the Learning Specialist and the Math Learning Centre in
the Services section of this Calendar).
Students interested in special fields of study such as British Columbia Studies, Canadian Studies, Creative
Writing, CultureNet (Culture and Technology), English, First Nations Studies, Women’s Studies, or Global
Stewardship can select from innovative courses or programs in these areas (as offered from year to year).
Academic instruction at Capilano College is both disciplinary and interdisciplinary and is of a high intellectual
calibre. The College carefully reviews the content and the delivery methods of its university transfer courses
to ensure that those courses are current and that they continue to meet university standards.
Students in university transfer courses should expect to work at least two to three hours outside of class for
every hour of class time.
All courses require basic literacy in written and spoken English. That is, students must be able to understand
the texts and other written materials, and the instructor’s spoken words, and must be able to write assignments
in correct English. Students who are uncertain of their oral and written English should speak to the instructor
or to an advisor prior to registering for a course.
The College offers a library collection and full media and reference services to complement the courses of
study.
The Arts and Sciences Faculties offer a range of courses in various disciplines which are grouped in four
divisions (see below). For a list of Arts and Sciences courses, please see the Classification of Subjects for
Associate Degree section of this Calendar.

TRANSFER
Full information on transfer of specific courses is available from the Registrar's Office, Advising, or in the
pertinent instructional division.
The BC Transfer Guide is available online at www.bctransferguide.ca. Students are urged to consult the
online transfer guide when establishing their programs of study.
Transfer to Other Institutions
The Arts and Science Divisions maintain transferability of their courses with other post-secondary institutions.
The College’s representatives meet regularly with those of other institutions to ensure that Capilano’s first
and second year courses are fully transferable as university courses.
Transfer from Other Institutions
There is agreement among all public B.C. colleges to accept each other’s credits upon transfer, if applicable
to a program given in the admitting college, and given suitable equivalency. Capilano College reserves the
right to review individual course credit.
Transfer credits are granted to students on admission for acceptable work done at other institutions; the
transfer credits reduce the total number of credits which are required at Capilano College for a certificate,
diploma, or Associate Degree. Students wishing transfer credit should present suitable documentation to
the Registrar’s Office for adjudication by the appropriate faculty. All approved transfer credits are noted on
the student’s permanent student record.
University Transfer Course Descriptions
Full descriptions of all university transfer courses can be found in the alphabetical listings in the course
description section of this calendar. Students are urged to carefully read the general discipline information
included in each section. Students are responsible for being familiar with the special information needed to
select university transfer courses.
COURSE SELECTION AND ADVISING
Advising and Counselling departments can assist students in selecting the best program of studies. The
final responsibility for course selection, however, rests with students. All university transfer students are
advised to see an advisor or a counsellor to plan their courses of study.

Art History
GENERAL INFORMATION
Art history concerns itself with visual culture both past and present. Visual art is explored and analyzed in
order to understand how it is composed and constructed and how it functions as a carrier and producer of
meaning within society. Analytical tools that promote the critical decoding of images, so relevant in today’s
world, are emphasized in all art history courses.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/art-history
UNIVERSITY TRANSFER CREDIT
Art history courses offered at Capilano College are transferable to UBC, SFU, UNBC, and UVic. Please
refer to the online B.C. Transfer Guide at www.bctransferguide.ca for further information.

CONCENTRATION IN ART HISTORY
To qualify for an art history concentration, students must complete an Associate of Arts Degree, including
all six courses from List A below, and at least two courses from List B.

The role played by images and objects in constructions and perceptions of reality are both powerful and
profound. This art history concentration within the Associate of Arts degree will provide students with a broad
knowledge of art history and will cultivate a critical visual awareness with which to view the art and visual
culture of both past and present.
Because the nature of art history is interdisciplinary, it draws not only from aesthetics and history, but also
from religion, philosophy, politics, museum and culture studies, media and film studies, feminism and women's
studies, and discourses on technology, this giving students an understanding of the interconnectedness of
cultural expressions that will be of value whether they enter the work force or continue on in academic
studies.
The course requirements for this concentration include two first year chronological surveys, one that
emphasizes the western European perspective and the other the art of the Americas, Africa, India, China,
and Japan. This is in addition to the second year offering of a critical approach to the study of art in Europe
and North America from the Enlightenment to the 21st century. Electives range in the first year from courses
in the Introduction to Visual Culture to Women and Art, and in the second year, from the History of Textiles
to Italian Renaissance Art and the Art of Technology.
Apply to the Registrar's Office to have the concentration in art history added to your Associate of Arts Degree
at the time of graduation.

British Columbia Studies
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Associate of Arts degree - British Columbia Studies concentration provides students with an understanding
of British Columbia from a wide variety of analytical viewpoints. Students will have the opportunity to examine
the province from the perspectives of art history, cultures and society, environments and geography, history
and politics, and linguistics and literature. There is also a strong First Nations component.
This concentration is designed to stand alone as an Associate of Arts degree, or to facilitate transfer to
four-year bachelor programs at other post-secondary institutions.
Some universities grant full transfer credit (60 credits) and may grant priority admission for associate degree
holders.
Completing an Associate degree in Arts or Science guarantees 60 university transfer credits towards a
Bachelor of Arts or Science degree at B.C. universities - if you select your courses wisely, this is the equivalent
of completing your first two years of study.
Successful completion of the Associate of Arts degree with a B.C. Studies concentration offers students the
potential to pursue further post-secondary education in the field of Canadian studies.
This Associate of Arts degree is also useful to students interested in pursuing elementary teacher education
as it includes courses in Canadian history, Canadian geography, English, mathematics and laboratory
science.

Chinese
GENERAL INFORMATION
All university transfer courses in Mandarin Chinese consist weekly of four hours of lecture, one hour of
conversation, and assignments in the multimedia lab on a drop-in basis (involving approximately 45 minutes).
Students with a competence in the language beyond the level of the course in which they are registered will
be required to withdraw. For example, native speakers of Mandarin and/or other Chinese dialects and those
who have taken Mandarin courses in high school are not allowed in the first year courses. Students with
some knowledge of Chinese must consult with the instructor for placement. University rules governing such
students differ within departments, but the Language Department has correspondence dealing with matters
relevant to credit transfer and point of entry. In order to avoid misunderstanding, students are invited to
discuss these problems with the Department prior to enrolment.
Students who are not sure of their language level must consult the instructor.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/languages/chinese
UNIVERSITY TRANSFER CREDIT
All Chinese courses at Capilano College transfer to post-secondary institutions in British Columbia. Please
refer to the online B.C. Transfer Guide at www.bctransferguide.ca for further information.

Commerce
GENERAL INFORMATION
The College offers a two-year transfer package to UBC consisting of Year 1 and Year 2 as follows:
Year 1
Students do not need to apply to the Commerce Department to enter the first year. Refer to the University
Transfer programs section of this calendar for information on admission requirements and application
procedures. Students interested in entering the Commerce program must ensure that the following courses
are taken:
a.
b.
c.
ECON 111 and 112;
ENGL 100; (minimum grade of C);
• Students are encouraged to take an additional English course (103, 104, 105 or 106) as one of the
electives mentioned below.
MATH 108
• the prerequisite to MATH 108 is the Math Placement Test (MPT) OR completion in the past year of
Math 12 with a B grade or better, or MATH 105, MATH 107 or BMTH 054 with at least a C- grade.
• Students not ready for MATH 108 will take MATH 107, followed by MATH 108. Students not ready
for MATH 107 should see an advisor at the College’s Advising Centre to plan a preparatory year.
• Certain majors at UBC recommend MATH 109 as one of the electives mentioned below.
Note
MATH 116 and 126 may be substituted for MATH 108/109, but this combination is oriented more
toward science than business;
d.
Six electives: any six university transfer courses (18 credits);
• Commerce students should NOT take MATH 101 or 102.
Year 2
Upon completion of Year 1, students must apply for admission to the Commerce program by completing a
Commerce Program Application which can be obtained from the Faculty of Social Sciences. There are 35
seats available in Year 2 and preference is given to students with the best Year 1 records who want to take
the entire Year 2 program with the intention of transferring to UBC. Applications to the Commerce program
should be made immediately in late spring once the Year 1 courses are complete and grades received.
Students who wait until late summer may find that all spaces have been filled.
In the fall term students admitted to Year 2 take:

University Transfer Credit
Please refer to the online B.C. Transfer Guide at www.bctransferguide.ca for further information.
Restricted Sections
From time to time the Computing Science Department may find it necessary to restrict enrolment in certain
courses due to limited resources and/or high demand for its courses. The criteria for enrolment in these
courses may be more stringent than the prerequisites listed in this Calendar, and enrolment may be restricted
to students who have not already attempted the course or an equivalent course. Under such circumstances
the enrolment criteria will be made known prior to the registration period.
Prerequisites
The Computing Science Department requires at least a C- grade in a prerequisite before allowing a student
to proceed with a subsequent course. Students should note that while a C- is the minimum required to
proceed, a better grade is recommended to ensure the best chance of success in the subsequent course
and a satisfactory GPA for transfer to a university.
Students will not be allowed to retake a prerequisite once they have completed a subsequent course with
a C- grade or better.

Economics
GENERAL INFORMATION
Economics is the social science concerned with the allocation of scarce resources and the production,
distribution and consumption of goods and services.
ECON 100 is an introductory course which raises and explores the kinds of issues that economists deal
with. It therefore serves both as a survey course for those students planning to major in other areas of the
social sciences and as an introduction to the discipline for those who are undecided about their future plans.
Students who plan to major in economics must complete ECON 111 and 112 before proceeding to second
year courses at the College or the universities. Students who plan to major in economics at SFU are also
advised to complete their second year economics requirements from ECON 210, 211, 212, 250, 252, 255,
290 or 291. ECON 250 and 252 are designed both for students majoring in economics and for other second
year social science students who need economic history courses to complement their studies, e.g. political
studies. Students who plan to enter the Commerce program must take ECON 111 and 112 in their first year.

FIRST YEAR ENGINEERING PROGRAM
The First-Year Engineering Program at Capilano College, which is modelled after the one at the University
of British Columbia, provides students with a comprehensive first-year university transfer program in
engineering. The program is aimed at strong academic high school graduates and highly motivated post
secondary science transfer students.
University Transfer
University of British Columbia (UBC)
Students who complete the First-Year Engineering Program are guaranteed admission to second-year
engineering at UBC provided they have obtained a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5
(approximately 67% average). Students who transfer into the program from a science stream must complete
all of the courses in the first-year core program to be considered engineering transfer students when they
go to UBC. Please consult the UBC Calendar or the UBC website for more detailed information.
Simon Fraser University (SFU)
Students who complete the First-Year Engineering Program with a cumulative grade point average of at
least 2.7 (approximately 70% average) will be eligible for admission to second-year engineering at SFU.
Please consult the SFU Calendar or the SFU website for more detailed information.

academic program with a cumulative grade point average of 2.7 or better (approximately 70% average) will
not only guarantee Capilano College students a clean transfer to second year engineering at UBC, but once
there, will also ensure them a reduced second year workload. Please consult the UBC Calendar or the UBC
website for more detailed information.
Simon Fraser University (SFU)
Students who complete the Engineering Transition Program may be eligible for admission to second-year
engineering at SFU. Please consult the SFU Calendar or the SFU web site for more detailed information.
University of Victoria (UVic)
Students who complete the Engineering Transition Program may be eligible for admission to second-year

that to be eligible for the Engineering Transition Program the general admission requirements for the College
must be satisfied. Please see the Admission section of the Capilano College Calendar for additional
information. Enrolment is limited to 35 students, and students are selected on the basis of their academic
merits and any relevant work experience. Students who apply to the program after April risk having their
applications denied due to a lack of available spaces.
Qualified candidates are notified of their acceptance into the Engineering Transition Program by mail.
Acceptance begins in May, and continues through June. If you have not heard directly from us by July 1st,
it indicates that your application has been reviewed and you have been placed on a waiting list. Depending

reply to the acceptance letter by a deadline, submitting a non-refundable deposit, to ensure a seat in the
program.
Note
Students may be required to achieve an acceptable grade in a diagnostic test before enrolling in
some courses in the Engineering Transition Program (e.g. Language Proficiency Index (LPI) Test
or English Diagnostic Test (EDT) for ENGL 100, Math Placement Test (MPT) for MATH 105 or
MATH 116). Please see the relevant sections of the Capilano College Calendar or the appropriate
department website for details. Prospective students are encouraged to take these tests early to
avoid delays in acceptance and/or registration.
Admission as a Mature Student
Students who have been out of school for at least two years and who wish to begin their studies towards
an engineering degree are strongly encouraged to apply. It is expected that mature students successfully
admitted into the Engineering Transition Program will have an aptitude for math and science.
Admission from Secondary School
To be eligible to enter the Engineering Transition Program from secondary school (directly or one year
removed) students must have B.C. Grade 12 graduation (or equivalent) with a minimum GPA of 2.0 calculated
on English 12, Math 12, and two other academic Grade 12 courses. Preference will be given to students
who possess strong math skills (Math 12 grade of B or better) and good grades in Chemistry 11 and Physics
11. High school students are also encouraged to graduate with at least one tech course if they intend to
study engineering.
Advancement in the Engineering Transition Program
Any student whose most recent term GPA is below 1.8 in the core courses of the Engineering Transition
program, or who has failed to achieve the necessary prerequisite for Math 116 by the end of the Fall term
of their first year or who has failed to achieve the necessary prerequisite for Math 126 by the end of the Fall

ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE - CREATIVE WRITING CONCENTRATION
Creative writing involves the study and production of literary and non-literary texts through focused
experimentation with language. Proceeding from the idea that good writing is produced at the intersection
of expansive reading, informed critical thinking, and participation in a vibrant writing community, the Associate
of Arts degree with a Creative Writing Concentration combines instruction and practice in both creative and
critical writing, hosts a literary readings series, supports a student magazine (The Liar), and provides
internships, scholarships, bursaries, and awards.
Students in the first year of the concentration work in several genres (poetry, fiction, drama, screenwriting,
mixed-genre, and new media). At the second-year level, students are expected to focus on poetry and
fiction. Students at all levels are encouraged to develop their work to the point where it would become
acceptable for publication.

While the Associate Arts of degree with a Creative Writing Concentration is designed to stand on its own,
students who complete the program will obtain first and second-year transfer credit in both English and
Creative Writing, allowing them to major or minor in either subject should they decide to transfer to university.

Global Stewardship
GENERAL INFORMATION
The two-year Global Stewardship program was designed for young people who are interested in pursuing
careers in the not-for-profit sector either in Canada or internationally. Students will study world politics,
geography, economics, history, languages and literature as a means to understand the global forces at play
today. They will also take management courses, and partake in seminars delivered by leaders in the
not-for-profit sector in order to hone their leadership, teamwork, communication, budgeting and time
management skills.They will also gain hands-on service learning experience volunteering at non-governmental
Capilano College 2007/2008 Calendar

organizations locally or overseas. Graduates will receive an Associate of Arts degree, which is transferable
to any university in B.C.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/global-stewardship
Career Opportunities
According to the Voluntary Sector Human Resources Council, nearly 900,000 Canadians work for pay in
the voluntary sector, about the same number that work in the construction, mining, and oil and gas industries
combined. The number of people working internationally for non-governmental organizations is unknown,
but they most certainly number in the millions. Graduates of the Global Stewardship Program enter this
network of not-for-profit employees early in their academic career. Those who want to pursue such a career
will most certainly go on to complete their bachelor's degree, and possibly a masters in the future. Other
graduates of the Global Stewardship Program are pursuing careers in education, international law, and
nursing. Graduates of the Global Stewardship Program are eligible for the paid internship positions supported
by CIDA.

History
GENERAL INFORMATION
History teaches an understanding of the past that helps people cope with the present and suggests possibilities
for the future. Critical thinking and analysis form the core of this discipline and are essential skills in a rapidly
changing society.
Students planning to major in history should take at least four history courses at the College. These can be
ANY four courses. An intended major should also have a broad sampling of courses in social sciences and
humanities. Students planning to major in history at SFU should take six history courses in the first two
years. For UBC the requirement is four history courses. Students planning to take honours should acquire
a reading knowledge of an appropriate non-English language.
Students who intend to become teachers may need some Canadian history. If you plan to teach history in
British Columbia at the secondary level, you must complete your BA with a major in History according to
the requirements of the university you attend. If you plan to teach at the elementary level, the requirements
also vary by institution.The education program at SFU requires that you have completed 3 credits in Canadian
history. UBC requires 3 credits in either Canadian history of Canadian geography, plus a further 6 credits
in Canadian studies, which may include Canadian history. UVic asks for 6 credits of Canadian history.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/history
UNIVERSITY TRANSFER CREDIT
History courses at Capilano (including WMST 220) transfer to SFU, UBC, UNBC and UVic and count as

ENTRY COURSES
For the prerequisite requirements for each of the following entry courses check the Mathematics Placement
Test (MPT) section and the individual course listing.
1.
Preparatory
MATH 091 is a one credit course designed for students who need to refresh basic algebra. It serves
as a prerequisite for MATH 096 (Intermediate Algebra with Functions), MATH 101 (Introduction to
Statistics), and MATH 190 (Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers). MATH 096 is a two credit
course that continues the development of algebra and introduces the concept of a function. It is possible
to complete both MATH 091 and 096 in a single term. The combined MATH 091/096 is recognized by
post secondary institutions as a Principles of Math 11 equivalent.
2.
Precalculus
MATH 107 is a precalculus course specifically designed for students planning to pursue a business or
commerce program, whereas MATH 105 focuses more on scientific applications.
Although each of MATH 105 and 107 is recognized by post secondary institutions as a Principles of
Math 12 equivalent, it is common for students even with Principles of Math 12 completion to take one
Capilano College 2007/2008 Calendar
179
rev.2007-05-23T105937-0700
Liberal Arts & Sciences
of these precalculus courses in preparation for calculus. Both 105 and 107 receive individual transfer
credit at SFU, UVic. and UNBC.
3.
Calculus I
MATH 108 is a calculus course designed primarily for students planning to pursue a business or
commerce program, whereas MATH 116 is oriented to the sciences. As enrolment permits, separate
engineering, life science and physical science streams of MATH 116 will be offered with each stream
covering the same core content but emphasizing examples relevant to the associated applications area.
4.
Introductory Statistics
MATH 101 is an introductory statistics course designed primarily for non-science students wanting to
fulfil a science elective requirement. MATH 204 is an introductory statistics course designed primarily
for science students who have already completed one term of calculus.
5.
Discrete Mathematics
MATH 124 is a discrete mathematics course for computing science. A strong mathematics background
is recommended for students taking this as an entry course.
6.
Mathematics for Elementary Teachers
MATH 190 is a course designed for future elementary school teachers. This course is intended to
transfer to SFU's MATH 190 and to many university colleges' education programs. This course is not
normally available for credit to students in science programs.
MATH PLACEMENT TESTS (MPT)
The Mathematics and Statistics department offers placement tests as alternative admission instruments for
students who lack the prerequisites listed in the Prerequisite Table for entry courses. For each placement
test there is a study guide which provides suggested review material and lists the scheduled test dates. With
the exception of the placement test for admission into MATH 091 students are not allowed to rewrite the
same level of placement test within a twelve month period. The waiting period to rewrite the placement test
for entry into MATH 091 is one month or longer. For more information please contact the Advising Centre
or the Pure and Applied Sciences Division, or visit the Mathematics and Statistics department website at
www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/math
Students wanting to enrol in an entry level course listed in the table must write a placement test if they do
not satisfy the prerequisite requirements for the course. Students with prerequisites that are more than
twelve months old are strongly advised to write the MPT and to follow its placement recommendation.

Philosophy
GENERAL INFORMATION
The word philosophy comes from the Greek word philo meaning 'love', and sophia meaning 'wisdom.' So
philosophy means 'love of wisdom.' Philosophy courses are about the ultimate nature of things, including
knowledge, reality, reasoning, the human mind, religious belief, truth, free will, human nature, democracy,
as well as ethical issues in biology, medicine, law, politics, and the environment. The Philosophy department
at Capilano College offers a wide range of first and second year university transfer courses introducing
students to most of these issues.
Philosophy is the activity of creating thoughtful answers to many of our most important questions. Philosophy
is excellent preparation for any profession, but the most important reason for studying philosophy is human
curiosity about fundamental problems concerning the nature of reality and how we ought to live. As Socrates
said, "The unexamined life is not worth living."
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/philosophy
UNIVERSITY TRANSFER CREDIT
Philosophy courses offered at Capilano College have university transfer credit in B.C. Please refer to the

Admission section of this calendar for a complete list of courses.
CONCENTRATION IN APPLIED ETHICS
To qualified for an Applied Ethics Concentration, students must complete an Associate of Arts Degree,
including all six courses from List A below, and at least two courses from List B.
List A (Choose all).
PHIL 101, PHIL 102, PHIL 110, PHIL 207, PHIL 208, PHIL 209.
List B (Choose two). PHIL 117, PHIL 120, PHIL 141, PHIL 150, PHIL 151, PHIL 200, PHIL 201, PHIL
220, PHIL 221, PHIL 222, PHIL 240, PHIL 242.
The concentration in applied ethics within the Associate of Arts degree gives students a credential in a
practical sub-discipline of philosophy. Biomedical ethics, environmental ethics, and business ethics form
the core of applied ethics, and all have recently become important interdisciplinary specialities in their own
right. Each area is concerned with inquiring into what we ought to do from an "all things considered" point
of view. The requirements for this concentration include courses in all three areas, and other philosophy
courses such as Introductory Ethics and Critical Thinking. The electives range from political philosophy to
studies in human nature, gender relations, criminal justice, the philosophy of religion, the philosophy of
culture, and the analysis of ethical issues in literature. They all throw light on the many ethical dimensions
of our lives. The Philosophy Department at Capilano College has several talented ethicists and moral
philosophers among its faculty.
Apply to the Registrar's Office to have the concentration in applied ethics added to your Associate of Arts
degree at the time of graduation.

Political Studies
GENERAL INFORMATION
Women and men preparing for careers in journalism, law, business management, international banking,
market research, arbitration, urban and regional planning, the foreign service, consulting, labour negotiations,
international development, and education enrol in Political Studies courses. So, too, those hoping to bring
about change in their own communities in such areas as health, education and the environment, choose
politics as their vocation. That’s because Political Studies is concerned with power — what it is and who
gets it, how it is used and how it is abused. Along with understanding power and the role it plays locally,
nationally, and internationally, Political Studies students graduate with excellent research skills and effective
oral and written communication skills — all very much in demand in the new global economy.

Psychology
GENERAL INFORMATION
Psychology courses teach students theory and research findings in psychology that can help students
understand themselves and others. Students can apply what they learn about parenting, interpersonal skills,
problem solving, stress management and emotional intelligence to their lives and their work. Psychology
courses also help students think critically about social issues and the claims of pop psychology. Courses in
psychology are required for careers in many occupations including teaching, child-care, health care, and
business.
As most of our second year courses are offered only once a year, students who wish to major in psychology
should be aware of the various first and second year course requirements of SFU, UBC, or other transfer
institutions, so they can take the courses they need for entry into third year at the universities.
Talk to any of our faculty about career options, our course offerings, and/or transferability, or see our website
for further information: www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/psychology

General Information
The world of business is constantly changing, often challenging and always demanding. People with solid
business skills are called to every walk of life. They play an integral role, whether they run a small business
or a multinational corporation, whether they work in an office of one or a company employing thousands
around the globe
Law offices, professional sports teams, humanitarian organizations and local government – they all need
people with a business education. The skills and knowledge you gain at Capilano College can be applied
to any organization or career, regardless of the path you choose.
Capilano College offers a variety of employment-related programs.The programs offered are under constant
review to make certain that students are taught the latest techniques and skills. Advisory committees,
composed of employers, review and recommend content of all programs.
Admission is limited and applicants are considered on the criteria established for each program area. In
general, Grade 12 graduation is required for students applying to two year Diploma Programs, although
others may be admitted on the basis of their experience and abilities. Due to the timely nature of these
programs, requirements and profiles may change.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DIPLOMA PROGRAM
Graduates of the two-year Business Administration diploma program have the skills and knowledge required
to be effective managers in a demanding and changing workplace. Our graduates have achieved an excellent
reputation based on professional performance and a positive attitude.
Our instructors bring practical, up-to-date business knowledge to the classroom, sharing the expertise that
has made them successful in the business community. Class sizes are limited, which allows faculty to
maintain direct contact with all their students.
The first year of the diploma program provides a solid foundation in general business knowledge with courses
in accounting/finance, communications, marketing, and organizational behaviour. The second year offers
the opportunity to concentrate in a particular area of specialization. Six of the 10 second-year courses are
electives: four business electives and two arts or science electives. Use these electives to concentrate your
studies, focus on career goals, or broaden your education.
Business electives must be courses offered by the School of Business at Capilano College (BADM, BCPT,
BFIN, BMKT, or IBUS courses). You can use the business electives to commence specialization in any of
these management areas:
•

•
Accounting / Finance
General Management
Marketing

rev.2007-05-23T105937-0700
Business & Professional Studies
Art or science electives must be university transfer courses. Non-university transfer courses will be considered
only if prior approval is granted from the Chair of the School of Business
Flexibility is a key aspect of all our program offerings. You have the option of completing your Business
Administration diploma on a full-time or part-time basis, depending upon your needs. As your needs and
those of employers change, we are able to respond with customized education packages that enable you
to “ladder” into different areas or levels of specialization. This includes the option to obtain an Advanced
Diploma specializing in Accounting, General Management, or Marketing or the option to obtain a Bachelor
of Business Administration degree at Capilano College.
A full-time course load provides a minimum of 20 instructional hours weekly (typically, one course equals
four instructional hours). We suggest that at least 40 hours weekly of outside studies and preparation time
will be required.

as 30 credits toward the Business Administration diploma program.
Our instructors bring practical, up-to-date business knowledge to the classroom, sharing the expertise that
has made them successful in the business community. Class size is limited, which allows faculty to maintain

experience and skills.
Upon successful completion of the RMCP program, a student could then go on to complete the Business
Administration Diploma requirements taking the courses listed in year two of the Business Administration
diploma program – Retail Marketing Option. Upgrade of Math or English may be required.

Communications Programs
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Communications department offers programs in professional communications and in critical
communication studies. The department also offers courses in business, technical and professional writing,
communication studies, interpersonal communications, and public speaking.
The Communication Studies diploma program transfers to the third year of a bachelor’s degree in
communications at Simon Fraser University. Students choose electives from arts, science or business as
well as communication courses that transfer to Simon Fraser. Two professional programs in applied
communication skills ladder into the Communication Studies diploma: the Professional Communications
certificate and the Advanced Professional Communications certificate. As well, the department offers a
Magazine Publishing certificate, a unique program designed and taught by industry professionals.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/cmns
Information for Prospective Students
Most courses in the Communications programs are university transfer courses. Students wishing to enrol
in Communications programs should apply through the department. Students wishing to enrol in open
sections of communications courses must meet general College admission requirements.
Prospective students should write directly to the Communications department after applying for general
admission to the College. Please write to: Communications department, Capilano College, 2055 Purcell
Way, North Vancouver, BC V7J 3H5, or telephone 604.990.7976. The e-mail address is
cmns@capcollege.bc.ca.
COMMUNICATIONS COURSES
Many communications courses carry credit as electives in academic and business programs. The writing
practice and experience in presentations help students excel in other courses. As well, the writing assignments
often help students obtain jobs both in the summer between academic sessions, and after they graduate.
In addition, we offer many communications courses to equip students with general skills, from basic writing
to freelance journalism. Students interested in pursuing one or more credit courses can usually register
on-line for a single course, or may contact the department after applying for general admission to the College.
In some cases, Communications programs' courses may be open for general registration after program
students have completed registration. However, please note that the department cannot guarantee seats
Capilano College 2007/2008 Calendar

rev.2007-05-23T105937-0700
Business & Professional Studies
in university transfer courses or other program courses for students not registered in a Communications
program.
The Communications department also designs and delivers courses tailored to the needs of various career
programs. Among the programs we serve are Business Administration, Outdoor Recreation and Tourism
Management, Legal Administrative Assistant, and Early Childhood Care and Education. Students admitted
into these programs can register for the required communication courses either on-line or through their
program area. By special request, students may be able to register for these even if they are not admitted
in a particular program.
University Transfer Courses
Most Communications program courses transfer to one or more British Columbia universities. All courses
in the Communication diploma transfer to Simon Fraser, and many professional writing courses are university
transferable at the first- or second-year level.
As university transfer status changes over time, students are advised to consult the online B.C. Transfer
Guide at www.bctransferguide.ca for the most up-to-date information.

Paralegal/Legal Assistant Programs - Institute of
Paralegal Studies
GENERAL INFORMATION
To meet the needs of the legal community the Paralegal program was designed to provide substantive,
procedural and skills-based education for paralegals. The first diploma and certificate programs were
developed in 1976 at which time the curriculum and course content were sanctioned by the BC Law Society
and mirrored the American Bar Association requirements for Paralegal Education. The Capilano College
Institute of Paralegal Studies continues to be a member of the American Association for Paralegal Education.
There are two Paralegal/Legal assistant programs offered at Capilano College:
1.
2.
The diploma program is a two-year, full-time program designed for people without current legal
experience.
The part-time certificate program is designed for people who are presently working in a law office and
who have at least two years legal secretarial or legal administrative assistant experience.
Two options:
a) Part-time evening option certificate program for those living locally.
b) Part-time option distance education program for those living outside of the Greater Vancouver area.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/paralegal
Career Opportunities
A paralegal/legal assistant plays an important role in a law office. Working under the supervision of a lawyer,
the paralegal/legal assistant is capable of originating work and making decisions. This person has knowledge
of both procedural and substantive law. Some examples of work functions are:
•
•
•
•
•
interviewing clients
drafting pleadings, wills, and probate, conveyancing and corporate documents
conducting legal research and writing memoranda of law
managing files
assisting in trial preparation
Graduates of the Paralegal/Legal Assistant program will find challenging careers working in law offices,
government agencies, and corporate legal departments.
The program has been in operation since 1976 and has a 99% placement rate. (This figure may fluctuate
for any one graduating class depending on the economy.)
Capilano College has entered into an agreement with Athabasca University that now permits transfer credit
of Capilano College Paralegal programs and specified courses to a number of baccalaureate degrees offered
through Athabasca University. See Athabasca University website at www.athabascau.ca for further details.

Students in the two-year diploma program attend full-time classes during the day at Capilano College's
North Vancouver campus. They complete course study in substantive law, procedural law and legal skills.

September through April) for two consecutive years.
Upon completion of the two-year program, students must complete a six-month practicum under the

Mountains, and a West Coast marine expedition for leadership development.
The Outdoor Recreation Management diploma program has earned an excellent reputation for its commitment
to leading edge professional skills, values, and knowledge. Over the past three decades, we have expanded
our network of practicum placements, keeping us in touch with the latest developments and providing access
to career prospects.

the program, students have the enviable credentials to gain work anywhere in the world in scuba and the
opportunity to branch into many other career options. Many worldwide resorts and cruise lines are seeking
employees who have more to offer than the “dive” qualifications. In this regard, our graduates offer an
attractive array of skills, experience and expertise.
This full-time certificate program will be offered only at the Sunshine Coast campus of Capilano College,
located a short 40-minute ferry ride from Vancouver, British Columbia. In these waters, which have been
rated the third best diving in the world by Jacques Cousteau and the very best in Canada for off-shore diving
by Scuba Press Magazine, students will experience 100 dives as they explore the scenic Sunshine Coast.
With the ocean as a classroom, students will have a first-hand opportunity to develop the skills, confidence
and competence to build a successful long-term career in tourism management. Only 24 applicants will be
selected to enter this exciting program. Courses will be conducted full-time from September until the end of
April.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/scuba

certificate. Core academic courses transfer into Capilano College’s Outdoor Recreation Management Diploma
program and the Tourism Management Co-op Diploma. From there students can apply their two years from
the diploma towards a Bachelor of Tourism Management degree.
THE PADI SYSTEM OF DIVER TRAINING
Worldwide, more people learn to dive using the PADI system of diver education than any other recreational
scuba program. PADI’s Instructor Development Course (IDC) defines the standard for instructor training.
Coupled with PADI’s state-of the art educational materials, the PADI IDC allows the student to learn quickly
and effectively. It is the most comprehensive program in the industry. The IDC is the heart of PADI Instructor
Training. During their courses, students will apply their diving knowledge and skills while learning to use the
PADI System of diver education in the classroom and in the water. For further information: www.padi.com

General Information
Capilano College offers a variety of employment-related programs. When you choose a career in health
care or education, you open the door to so many rewarding possibilities: from the newborn to the elderly,
you provide care and support to those with a range of abilities and challenges. It’s a vocation for those who
value dignity, trust, respect, responsibility and collaboration.
The programs offered are under constant review to make certain that students are taught the latest techniques
and skills. Advisory committees, composed of employers, review and recommend content of all programs.
Admission is limited and applicants are considered on the criteria established for each program area. In
general, Grade 12 graduation is required for students applying to two year Diploma Programs, although
others may be admitted on the basis of their experience and abilities. Due to the timely nature of these
programs, requirements and profiles may change.
Contact the individual program areas for current information.
All courses require basic literacy in written and spoken English. That is, students must be able to understand
the texts and other written materials, and the instructor’s spoken words, and must be able to write assignments
in correct English. Students who are uncertain of their oral and written English should speak to the instructor
or an advisor before registering for a course.
GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT
Employment opportunities for graduates are excellent; however, the College does not guarantee jobs for
its graduates.
TRANSFER TO AND FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS
There is agreement among all public B.C. colleges to accept each other’s credits upon transfer, if applicable,
to a program given at the admitting college, and given suitable equivalency. Capilano College reserves the
right to review individual course credits.
Transfer credits are granted to students for acceptable work done at other institutions. Students wishing
transfer credit should present suitable documentation to the Registrar’s office for consideration. Full information
on transfer of specific courses is available from the Registrar's Office, the advisors, and in the program area.
ADMISSION DATES
Enrolment is limited due to space and equipment limitations. Consequently, those students who contemplate
entrance are encouraged to apply early. Applicants may be required to have an interview with the Program
Coordinator prior to admission.

EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The North Vancouver campus offers both a full-time program and a part-time evening program which may
be completed within two years. Sunshine Coast and Squamish campuses may offer evening programs.
These programs are based on the Competencies in Early Childhood Education, and are approved by the
Community Care Facilities Branch of the Ministry of Health. The foundation of the ECCE programs is the
study of development from birth to school-age. The history and current philosophies of early childhood
education are examined. An interrelated series of courses focus on the care and education of young children
from an anti-bias perspective. Students also study program planning, curriculum content, health and nutrition,
interpersonal skills and family-centre relationships. Theory and practice are closely related throughout the
program. Students have practical experience in three practicum centres under the guidance of qualified
Early Childhood Educators. In practicum centres students adhere to the Early Childhood Educators of B.C.’s
Code of Ethics
Courses are presented in a manner which promotes active participation through demonstrations, oral reports,
group projects, role-play and discussions.
Students who require government funding for part-time studies are advised to contact a Financial Aid Officer
at Capilano College prior to applying for financial assistance.

Guided Imagery and Music Program
GENERAL INFORMATION
This post-baccalaureate certificate program in Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) is a music-centred
transformational therapy in which a client listens to specifically programmed music in a relaxed state. The
music acts as a catalyst to evoke, develop and transform images, memories, and feelings from deep levels
of consciousness. With the help of the therapist, the GIM experience can lead to integration and healing on
many levels. It is also very effective in developing creativity and for individual and group problem-solving.
The training blends experiential and academic course work with personal experience of the method, and

Music Therapy Program
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Music Therapy program at Capilano offers the third and fourth years leading to the Bachelor of Music
Therapy.This degree program is designed so that students may enter third year with a variety of backgrounds:
music, general arts, education, or nursing etc. All four years may be completed at Capilano College.
This program provides students with the opportunity to gain knowledge and develop competencies in such
areas as music therapy and practice; clinical disorders; assessment, planning and intervention; improvisation
and music of many eras and cultures; interpersonal skills and group dynamics; basic research, and
documentation.
The program blends academic and experiential course work. Students deepen their experience of music,
creative expression and the role of the arts. They are encouraged to explore their values, beliefs, feelings
and communication patterns, to increase their effectiveness in the field. They have field work in a different
setting for each of the four terms, in which they are given increasing responsibility to design, implement and
evaluate their own treatment programs, under clinical supervision.
Continuance in the Music Therapy program will be contingent upon an adequate level of personal, academic
and clinical skills as jointly evaluated each term by the Music Therapy faculty. Music therapy is a helping
profession in which music therapists work with clients who are in a state of disability. In the therapist/client
relationship, there is an assumption that the therapist is in a well enough state of health and well-being to
mediate client difficulties with an appropriate clinical approach. In other words, the therapist must function
in clinically suitable ways, be emotionally stable and able to respond generally vis-a-vis the client’s needs.
The therapist is the helper. The role of the Music Therapy program, in addition to student education, is to
safeguard the standards of practice of the professional music therapy community through monitoring student
readiness to work with members of the community-at-large who are at risk because of disability, disease,
cultural and social deprivation, and otherwise disadvantaged. Safety of clients is essential.
Music therapists use the creative process inherent in musical participation to assist individuals and groups
to improve their mental, physical and emotional functioning. Music therapists work with deep emotions in
special therapeutic programs, run exercise and dance programs, lead choirs, instrumental ensembles and
music appreciation groups as they contribute to therapeutic goals. Music therapy is increasingly identified
by health care professionals as an effective catalyst for client motivation, stimulation and communication.
Graduates of the Capilano College Music Therapy program receive a Bachelor of Music Therapy.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/music-therapy
Career Opportunities
Graduates of the program work with all age groups, with a wide range of physiological, cognitive and emotional
disorders, in a variety of clinical settings or in private practice. They are trained to work as part of a health
care team.

Rehabilitation Assistant Program
GENERAL INFORMATION
A Rehabilitation Assistant, also known as an "OTA/PTA/SLPA" or "RA", is a para-professional who works
as a member of the health care team under the supervision of and in collaboration with occupational therapists,

experienced disease or injury. This work, most frequently in the areas of gerontology, neurology and
orthopaedics, may be carried out in a variety of settings including hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, extended
care facilities and in the community in which we live.

system. Working closely with peers and instructors, the program prepares students to be well-rounded RA's
by delivering an integrated approach consisting of scientific knowledge, professional skills, rehabilitation
theory and practical skills, case study integration and clinical fieldwork. Students will also learn how to apply
the principles and practices of Rehabilitation Assistance in their everyday work

COMMERCIAL ANIMATION PROGRAM
General Information
Animation can be seen everywhere in our lives today. From the traditional media of film and television to
computer games and the Internet, animation dominates. Locally, the Vancouver industry has grown from
small, one-artist studios making personal films and commercials to large businesses employing hundreds
and working on major projects for Disney, Nelvana, Dreamworks and Warner Bros. There are more studios
and places for qualified animation graduates; however, there are also many more schools training for the
industry. The competition for jobs is as intense as it ever was, and it is important for students to choose the
animation program which will best help them to achieve their goals.
The Program
The Commercial Animation program prepares students for employment in the animation industry, specifically
in the area of classical character animation for film, television and the Internet. This intense two-year, full-time
program focuses on drawing skills and studio procedures in the production of animated commercials,
television series, computer game design and feature films. The program works closely with producers of
traditional and computer animation, establishing and evolving the curriculum to meet the industry’s need for
skilled animators and animation designers. New students are admitted each September in a class of 24.

ADVANCED MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION DIPLOMA PROGRAM
The Motion Picture Advanced Diploma program has been created to build upon the knowledge gained in
the Motion Picture Production Diploma program. It is designed to create a higher degree of competency in
a wider spectrum of skills essential to those wishing to enter the world of independent production. Special
emphasis is placed, not only on the creative areas such as writing, directing and editing, but on those areas
of expertise necessary to create a production "from the ground up", including development, budgeting,
financing and distribution.
All students in this program will gain extensive "hands-on" experience in the creative and technical aspects
of independent production by taking several projects all the way through the production process - from initial
concept to finished product.
Career Opportunities
The motion picture industry in B.C. requires, not only skilled dedicated people to support its multi-million
dollar Hollywood production base, but also creative, entrepreneurial film-makers to help build our growing
locally developed production sector.
Program Objectives

ILLUSTRATION/DESIGN: ELEMENTS & APPLICATIONS PROGRAM
(IDEA)
The Illustration/Design: Elements and Applications IDEA is a three-year career-based diploma program that
prepares students for employment as visual communicators. The curriculum addresses applied development
in design and illustration supported by a strong theoretical foundation. Conceptual development, project
management, and instruction using industry-standard technologies are an integral part of the program. IDEA

the program, IDEA students will have skills and knowledge for career opportunities in graphic design,

illustration, package design, corporate communications, fine art, exhibition and environmental design and
education. As well, graduates can apply their knowledge of the creative process and project management
to freelance or contractual employment. The growing network of IDEA graduates as well as the reputation
of the program greatly support career development.
IDEA Environment
The IDEA program requires an intensive, full-time commitment. Courses are taught by professional illustrators,
graphic designers, and consultants. IDEA offers a hands-on, practical learning environment. First year
students working on fundamentals have their own work areas in a studio environment and use artist materials
and supplies. A colour kit for first year fundamentals is included. In the second year, the emphasis is on
tools, processes and skills development, including mastering the digital domain. Students have sole use of
an Apple Macintosh computer and software tools. IDEA’s computer lab with dedicated workstations provides
a “real world” working environment for almost all instruction and practical work. The third year is focused on
career development with advanced projects, specialized areas of study, and professional development.
Students must take all courses.
The IDEA program uses the current industry standard in hardware and software configurations. Students
have access to their designated Apple Macintosh workstation through second and third year. Upon completion
of the IDEA program, students may, for a nominal sum, purchase the computer.

Indigenous Independent Digital Filmmaking Program
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Indigenous Independent Digital Filmmaking (IIDF) program at Capilano College has been providing
basic production training for Aboriginal students since the spring of 2000. The program is a response to the
expanding demand for trained professionals in all areas of the Aboriginal production industry. The industry
is growing and so are the opportunities for creative, committed and skilled producers, writers, directors and
technicians. The Aboriginal Film and Television Production program is committed to providing Aboriginal
students with high-quality production training from the Aboriginal perspective. Instructors are experienced,
connected and respected Aboriginal professionals working in the industry. Students participating in the
program come from all areas of the country.
Through a combination of lectures, hands-on instruction, and production projects, students receive instruction
and practical experience in all aspects of the film and television production process, from initial concept to
finished production. All aspects of the program are related to Aboriginal production.
In addition to lectures, hands-on instruction and project work, students have the opportunity to participate
in a five-week work practicum. This enables students to obtain on-the-job experience in the professional
production environment and make connections with industry experts and potential employers.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/indigenous-digital-film
Career Opportunities
Career opportunities in all areas within the Aboriginal production sector are expanding. The creation of the
Aboriginal People's Television Network (APTN) established a national network for Aboriginal people. The
Canadian feature film industry has also grown rapidly. This industry development has greatly expanded the
opportunities for Aboriginal people to build careers in the film and television industries. Most opportunities
involve contract employment. While there are staff production positions with broadcasters and production

Fine & Applied Arts
companies, the major opportunities are in the field of independent production. Employment is typically by
contract for a specific production or series. Graduates of the program have obtained positions as production
assistants, camera assistants, camera operators, editing assistants, editors, writers, and production managers.
Some graduates are self-employed, developing and producing their own productions.

Jazz Studies Programs
GENERAL INFORMATION
Capilano College offers a four-year Bachelor of Music (Jazz Studies) and a two-year Diploma in Jazz Studies.
The College also offers a four-year Bachelor of Music Therapy and a two-year university transfer program
in classical music.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/jazz-studies

rev.2007-05-23T105937-0700
Fine & Applied Arts
Mission and Goals
The Bachelor of Music (Jazz Studies) provides a broad-based academic background, while developing
comprehensive abilities in music, with jazz as the main focus. In keeping with the eclectic nature of jazz,
students are exposed to music from diverse cultural sources, historical periods and media. Because jazz is
an applied art form, the achievement of specific high standards in vocal and/or instrumental performance,
improvisation, composition, and arranging are fundamental goals of the program curriculum, and
demonstration of ability in these areas is required of all graduates. Teaching music within the public school
system will be a goal for some graduates; to this end, the Jazz Studies program includes all the necessary
prerequisites for acceptance into the fifth year Teacher Education Program at the University of British
Columbia. While most Jazz Studies graduates who do not enter the public school system as teachers embark
upon creative and varied careers as self-employed professionals, the Bachelor of Music (Jazz Studies) also
qualifies its graduates who wish to teach at the college or university level for some post-graduate degrees.
Since 1995, some graduates from the Jazz Studies program have been admitted into graduate programs
at Canadian and American universities in the areas of composition, education, conducting and performance.
Career Opportunities
The two-year Diploma program is intended to provide its students with the skills necessary to develop careers
as self-employed professionals in the contemporary music industry.
The four-year Bachelor of Music (Jazz Studies) balances and integrates the instruction of jazz, traditional
music, and general academic electives to provide a highly detailed and rich artistic education. For those
who wish to pursue music as self-employed professionals, teach music in the public school system, or
continue their musical development as part of a liberal arts education, it is a unique and attractive option.
Increasingly, graduates are building varied careers in music and related fields based upon a successful
layering of skills; for example, some are following up the Jazz Studies degree with the Advanced Arts and
Entertainment Management Certificate program (also offered at Capilano College), specialized training in
business or technology relevant to the commercial music industry, or post-graduate music degrees; many
others upon leaving Capilano College launch directly into a creative combination of teaching, performing
with a number of different ensembles in various jazz and contemporary styles, managing their own careers
and those of fellow artists, composing, arranging, editing and working with music software in home studios.
Major Streams in the Third and Fourth Years
The four years of study required for the Bachelor of Music (Jazz Studies) are offered at Capilano College.
Following completion of the Jazz Studies two-year Diploma program, students choose from five major
streams for the remainder of the degree: Instrumental or Vocal Performance, General Studies, General
Studies (Education Stream), and Composition/Arranging. These five streams share a core curriculum, but
differ in the proportion of large and small ensembles, private lessons, improvisation, music and academic
electives required for graduation. Students from other post-secondary jazz programs are welcome to apply
to the Jazz Studies program (see Transfer of Credit in this section of the Calendar).
Facilities
As recording experience has become an essential part of today’s musical training, the Jazz Studies program
has integrated multi-track recording into the curriculum. Vocal, instrumental, and arranging/composition
students all make use of our multi-track facilities.
A computer lab is available to students for supplemental help in ear training, sight-reading, and other basic
music skills, as well as the printing and recording of theory and arranging assignments.

Fine & Applied Arts
Faculty
The Jazz Studies department is comprised of a wide range of specialized faculty. Most instructors are also
top professional musicians who bring extensive practical experience to their classes.
Transfer Credit
The Jazz Studies program grants transfer credit for courses taken at other post-secondary institutions if
they are applicable and have suitable equivalency. Because of the wide variations that exist in approach
and emphasis in various music programs, the Jazz Studies program reserves the right to examine for
competency according to our course requirements before transfer credit is approved.
Transfer of concentration performance instrument courses, keyboard and ear training credits will be possible
only up to the placement level determined by the audition and by keyboard and ear training test results.
Transfer Between Undergraduate Programs
While no formal articulation agreements are in place between Capilano College's Bachelor of Music (Jazz
Studies) program and other undergraduate jazz diploma and degree programs, Capilano College regularly
receives applications for transfer into its Bachelor of Music (Jazz Studies) from other B.C. community
colleges, including Malaspina University College, Vancouver Community College, Kwantlen University
College and Selkirk College. In addition, students have transferred from the jazz programs at Alberta's Mount
Royal College, Grant MacEwan Community College and Keyano College, to complete the four-year program
at Capilano College. Across Canada, Capilano College has accepted transfer students from the classical
music programs at the University of British Columbia, University of Alberta, Concordia College, and the
University of Regina, as well as from the jazz programs at St. Francis Xavier (Antigonish, N.S.) and Humber
College in Ontario. Outside of Canada, Berklee College of Music (Boston, U.S.) has been another source
of transfer students to Jazz Studies at Capilano College. A small number of students have transferred from
music schools abroad, including the University of the Philippines, Middlesex University (U.K.), and the
George Ots Talinn Musical School in Estonia.
Satisfactory Standing
Students considered to be in Satisfactory Standing are entitled to pre-register in the next term of the program.
A student who has not maintained a satisfactory standing in a program in any term may be denied permission
to register in that program in a subsequent term, or be required to re-audition.
To maintain satisfactory standing, all Jazz Studies students must be enrolled in a full-time course of study
(at least nine credit hours) that includes a reasonable number of courses specific to their major (normally
three) and must achieve a grade point average above 1.8.
Students should refer to Academic Policies and Procedures for further information on Academic Probation.
In addition, to qualify and continue in the specialized majors, Jazz Studies Degree students are expected
to achieve a minimum grade of B+ in all courses directly related to that major. These courses are the following:

C grades (C-, C, C+) in these courses can be applied for credit toward the Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies
only with the permission of the Jazz Studies Grade Appeals Committee. When unusual circumstances have
resulted in lower than expected grades in a student’s first term of a continuing course, instructors may
recommend to the Committee that the student be given probationary acceptance into the next term of the
course. If the student fails to achieve a minimum of B+ in the next level of the course, no credit for either
course can be applied toward the specialized degree.
HOW TO APPLY
Apply for Admission/Readmission online or by downloading and completing an application form. Students
may also pick up paper applications from the Registrar's Office at the main campus in North Vancouver or
at the regional campuses in Sechelt and Squamish. Completed applications must be accompanied by the
appropriate application fee, document evaluation fee (where required), official transcripts and other pertinent
documents, and should be submitted to:

Information for Prospective Students
Information meetings, auditions and placement tests are held in May. Please call 604.984.4951 for meeting
times and audition appointments.
AUDITIONS
Auditions are required for all entrants. Live audition and testing is preferred. Contact the Jazz Studies
program for an audition appointment. Audition requirements are available on the Jazz program's web site
at www.capcollege.bc.ca/jazz-studies
Entrance into the Jazz Studies program is competitive, as seats are restricted. Applicants are ranked in
comparison with others who audition on the same concentration instrument with the entrance year applied
Capilano College 2007/2008 Calendar

for taken into consideration. Providing that all other entrance requirements have been passed, students will
be admitted in the order of their ranking until the seats available for that instrument have been filled.
Separate auditions are held for the Capilano College Singers, Jazz Choirs, and Jazz Bands. Acceptance
into the program does not guarantee acceptance into these ensembles. It is the student’s responsibility to
sign up for and attend these auditions.
ADMISSION/APPLICATION NOTES
Upon completion of the two-year Diploma in Jazz Studies, a student may register as a third-year student in
one of the degree options. Permission to enrol in any major will be based on completion of prerequisite
requirements, and the recommendation of the faculty concerned. Continuation in the Vocal Performance,
Instrumental Performance and Arranging/Composition majors is subject to review at the end of the third
year of studies. Students may be accepted into some upper level courses before the completion of their
diploma on a part-time or probationary basis with the permission of the instructors involved, but official
acceptance into the degree program is necessary before any opportunity to graduate should be anticipated.
Transfer students should not anticipate immediate acceptance into the third year of the degree program, as
there are normally some lower level music courses and/or general electives that must be completed before
this can take place. Official acceptance into a major of the degree program can be applied for once the
requirements for the two-year Jazz Studies diploma have been met. (See Graduation Requirements, Two-Year
Diploma.)
FEES AND EXPENSES
Please see the Fees and Fee Payment section of the College website. Financial aid is available to eligible
students for eligible programs. For more information, please see Financial Aid and Awards.

assigned unit value of one credit.
A term profile requiring two credit hours of ensemble is met by enrolment in two separate ensembles.
Students terminating in the two-year diploma program may meet their ensemble requirements through the
completion of any four ensemble courses.
Students enrolled in the four year Jazz Studies degree program are required to complete a combination of
traditional and jazz ensembles to complete their requirements. The required combinations are as follows:
Arranging/Composition Ensemble Requirements
Eight large ensemble credits, including: Two terms of traditional ensembles, four terms of jazz ensembles,
and two additional terms of either jazz or traditional ensembles. (See Major in General Studies for lists of
appropriate traditional and jazz ensembles.)
Major in General Studies Ensemble Requirements

ensembles.These can be met by enrolment in the Capilano College Community Choir, the Capilano Singers,
the Capilano College Wind Ensemble, or by participation in another approved ensemble.
Four terms of jazz ensemble, including Jazz Ensemble I (ENSJ 135), Jazz Choir (ENSJ 105), Guitar/Bass
Ensemble (ENSJ 220) at the 200 level or above and Percussion Ensemble (ENSJ 140).
Two additional terms of ensembles: for instrumentalists these may be Jazz or Traditional ensembles, for
vocalists these will be ENSJ 306 and 356.
In addition to the above, percussionists must participate in at least four terms of percussion ensemble, three
of which may replace JAZZ 282 and 283 (Improvisation I and II) bringing their total number of ensembles
up to twelve.

ensemble requirements. This is done through special arrangement with the coordinator of the program.

and eight terms of percussion ensemble, for a total of fourteen ensemble credits. Three of these percussion
ensembles can replace the normal improvisation requirement (JAZZ 282/283).

Music Transfer Program
GENERAL INFORMATION
Capilano College offers four music programs: a two-year Diploma of Music (Classical Music) from the
Bachelor of Music Transfer program, a two-year Diploma in Jazz Studies, a four-year Bachelor of Music
(Jazz Studies) and a four-year Bachelor of Music Therapy.
The Bachelor of Music Transfer program provides a rich learning environment, which nurtures the artistic
and creative potential within each student. The program integrates theoretical, historical and performance
studies, offering concentrations in piano, voice, guitar, strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion and composition.
Students benefit from frequent recitals and masterclasses on their primary instrument, allowing them to
develop confidence and self-expression in performance. Small class sizes with innovative and creative
teaching enhance the students' educational experience and prepare them for a wide array of professions
in the music field. Participation in the college's award-winning choir allows for concert and touring
opportunities, while developing ensemble skills and rehearsal techniques. This two-year Diploma is
transferable toward a Bachelor of Music Degree and also provides the foundation for further studies in Music
Therapy, Music Education and the Liberal Arts. All courses in the Bachelor of Music Transfer program are
transferable to the School of Music at the University of British Columbia and to the Faculty of Music at the
University of Victoria. Capilano College students have also received transfer credit to the following universities:
Alberta, Brandon, Calgary, Dalhousie, Guelph, Lethbridge, McGill, Regina, Simon Fraser, Toronto, Western
Ontario, Western Washington and York.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/music-transfer
Career Opportunities
Graduates of the program who have pursued further studies have successfully developed rewarding careers
in the following fields: Elementary, Secondary and Post-Secondary Education, Private Music Instruction,
Conducting, Composition, Musicology, Performance (Voice and Instrumental), Music Therapy, Music Criticism
and Music Publishing.

ADMISSION/APPLICATION NOTES
Applicants planning to enrol in any University Transfer English course at Capilano College must take Capilano
College's English Diagnostic Test (EDT), or the Language Proficiency Index (LPI), which is given through
Applied Research and Evaluation Services (ARES). For more information, see the English department
website for test dates and times. As some students may be exempt from this requirement, please review
the Registration section of the College calendar.
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS
All students planning to enter the Bachelor of Music Transfer program must audition. This process includes
performance of repertoire, an ear test, an interview and a theory exam. Applicants must demonstrate a
thorough and fluent knowledge of the fundamentals of music (Rudiments).
Auditions are in March through May. Space permitting, auditions for late applicants are also held in August.
Due to enrolment demands and to be eligible for entrance scholarships, applicants are strongly advised to
schedule their audition as early as possible. To schedule an audition please contact the music office at 604
984 4951 or e-mail music@capcollege.bc.ca to schedule an audition.
The audition process consists of the following four parts:
1.
Repertoire
Applicants must perform two contrasting selections, preferably by memory and not to exceed 15 minutes.
One copy of each selection must be provided for the audition committee. A list of repertoire studied
within the last two years and a letter of reference from the applicant's current teacher should be presented
at the audition, if possible. Where an accompanist is needed, it is suggested the applicant provide his
or her own pianist or perform without accompaniment (an accompanist provided by the college may be
available on certain audition dates).
Sight-Reading may be required at the discretion of the audition committee.
Performance Level Required:
•
Piano: Royal Conservatory of Music Grade Ten or equivalent.
Applicants below this level may enrol in a preparatory year.
•
•
Voice: There is no specific grade level required. An ability to perform in a language other than English
is an advantage, but not required.
Wind/Brass/Strings/Guitar/Percussion: Royal Conservatory of Music Grade Six or equivalent.
The above grade levels are approximate guidelines and those applicants who are below the indicated
level and demonstrate good potential for future growth and development will be given consideration.
2.
Musicianship Skills Assessment
a) Tap or clap a short rhythmic excerpt
b) Identify intervals within an octave (ascending and descending)
c) Identify chords (major, minor, dominant and diminished sevenths in root position)
d) Pitch Matching (match one to three pitches with the voice after being heard on the piano)
3.

Studio Art Program
Studio Art is a department within the Faculty of Visual and Performing Arts. Other art programs in this
Calendar include Textile Arts, Illustration/Design: Elements and Applications (IDEA), and Commercial
Animation.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Studio Art offers a program of studies leading to a two-year diploma.
Studio Art has a limited number of openings in many of its courses for part-time study and in advanced
ceramics. It also offers individual credit courses in Art Institute advanced studies. See Art Institute in the
Post-graduate programs section of this Calendar. For more information, please see
www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/studio-art
Program Overview
The Studio Art diploma program at Capilano College provides a thorough, high quality foundation in the
fundamentals of art. It enables students to make informed decisions regarding future career choices and
enables them to prepare high quality portfolios to aid them in gaining acceptance into the advanced art and
design programs of their choice. Graduates of the Studio Art program usually complete their education at
university, art school or in a college design program.
The Studio Art program provides studio experiences in 2-D studies, 3-D studies, and drawing as well as
courses in visual literacy/art history, and English.
Through exposure to a broad range of concepts, materials, techniques, and processes, students are assisted
in developing personal interests, directions, and creative maturity. The emphasis of the program is on
preparing students to function effectively within the context of current thought and practice within the fine
arts, while preparing them for further studies in art and design-related fields. Because the program also
exposes students to creative thinking and problem-solving, it may also serve as a foundation for further
general education.
Career and Educational Opportunities
The fields of further study listed below lead to specific career or job opportunities. It is recommended that
an education in these specific careers should follow a high quality broad art foundation such as that offered
by Studio Art. Students may find they need to study out of the province to pursue these educational goals.
FINE ARTS:
GALLERIES AND MUSEUMS:
INDUSTRY:
CRAFTS:
ILLUSTRATOR:

EDUCATION:
sculptor, printmaker, painter, ceramic artist, media artist
curator, restorer, illustrator
industrial, interior, furniture designer

Students who study full-time or part-time and acquire either a Diploma in Studio Art or a Diploma in Academic
Studies (including art courses) should find that educational opportunities exist in these and other fields.

STUDIO ART COURSES
Studio Art courses may be credited toward either a Diploma in Studio Art, a Diploma in Academic Studies
or a Diploma in General Studies, depending on the student’s educational objectives. For diplomas other
than Studio Art, see the Graduation section in this Calendar.
Students taking Studio Art courses must be available for the labs attached to Ceramics, Sculpture, Printmaking
and Media Art which take place on the afternoon of scheduled classes. Students must ensure that courses
taken outside of Studio Art will not conflict with these labs.
The department encourages students to take both terms of any given discipline (i.e. both Drawing I and II)
in the interests of effective university transfer status.
Open Courses
Academic students can register for a few studio art courses during their own registration period when space
permits, and if any prerequisites are met.
The courses that are open to academic students are: Drawing I through IV, SART 110 and 111, painting.
In these cases, students do not have to go through the usual portfolio process for full and part-time admittance
to the program.
University Transfer
Many Studio Art courses are university transferable to other B.C. institutions, as well as institutions outside
the province. Please refer to the B.C. Transfer Guide online at www.bctransferguide.ca for more information.
Acceptance into Second Year Courses
Due to space limitations in the second year, completion of first-year courses does not guarantee acceptance
into individual second-year courses. When more students require a course than space allows, acceptance
in the course will be based on the grades received in the prerequisite course.
English Requirement
Six credits of English are required for the Studio Art Diploma. Accepted students may complete those credits
concurrent with program studies. Students who have those credits before entering the program will find their
workload somewhat lighter and have more time for their art courses.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
•
•

Both full- and part-time applicants are admitted on the basis of a portfolio presentation. The candidate
decides on the nature and scope of work presented, but should provide a representative picture of past
and current artistic activities.
In addition to completed work, sketchbooks, and CDs or videos, preliminary studies should be included
wherever possible. Slides, photographs or any other supporting evidence may also form part of the
portfolio. It is not necessary for prospective students to mount work for the portfolio, since the quality of
work is more important than the presentation.
Academic Students interested in Studio Art courses, see the "Open Courses" in the Studio Arts Courses
section above.
The application deadline is March 31 each year, for the following September.
All applicants will be mailed a questionnaire for completion which should be brought with their portfolio to
the information session. Students are advised to complete the English Diagnostic Test (EDT) or an LPI,
since English is a six-credit component of the Studio Art program.
Portfolios are reviewed by an admissions committee on the basis of creativity, technical skills, and content.
Applicants whose portfolios meet the admission standards of the program will be contacted following the
information session. The Studio Art department will notify students when to pick up their portfolios.
FEES AND EXPENSES
Please see the Fees and Fee Payment section of the College website. Financial aid is available to eligible
students for eligible programs. For more information, please see Financial Aid and Awards.

Textile Arts Programs
The Textile Arts program is a department within the Visual and Performing Arts Division. Other art programs
in this Calendar include Studio Art, Illustration / Design: Elements and Applications (IDEA), and Commercial
Animation.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Textile Arts program offers a full-time, two-year program leading to a Diploma.
It also offers a one-year Advanced Textile Arts Certificate program.
For program information and faculty and student gallery please visit our website.
Occasional part-time evening courses are also offered. For non-credit courses in Textile Arts, please contact
Continuing Education at 604.984.4901.
The Programs
Students learn about textile arts by exploring many different processes and by studying historical and
contemporary works.
The core content of weaving and textile surface design is complemented by courses in drawing, design,
visual literacy, communications and textile history. Courses in professional and business skills in arts and
crafts and precision dyeing provide students with information and hands-on experience that will facilitate
entering a professional career. A critical and analytical approach to their own work will enable graduates to
be proficient in a range of professional activities.
Gallery and studio visits, as well as guest lectures by visiting artists and other professionals working in
textiles or related areas, augment regular teaching sessions. They show distinct approaches to an artist’s
work and also provide practical information on how careers are built.

Fine & Applied Arts
Practicums with artists, crafts people, related businesses or organizations all included as part of the course
in Professional and Business Skills. They provide a useful work experience for students in the Textile Arts
program.
For more information, please see www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/textile-arts
Career Opportunities
Past graduates are working professionally as artists, crafts people, or designers in fashion or interior design.
Some graduates have found employment in film or theatre productions or work for arts organizations or
related businesses.
The Textile Arts program can also be a stepping stone toward further studies in degree granting programs.
Previous students have transferred to institutions across Canada and the USA to pursue studies in visual
arts, design, fashion, textile conservation and aboriginal arts. Options also exist to combine textile arts with
studies in academic areas such as anthropology and art history.
Textile arts form an important aspect of the cultural life in any community and many ways exist to apply the
skills learned and build a professional career.
Transfer Credits
Check the online B.C. Transfer Guide at www.bctransferguide.ca for course transferability or contact the
Visual and Performing Arts department for more specific information. Many students have successfully
transferred credits towards BFA degrees at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Alberta College of Art
and other out-of-province schools.
Students should understand that advanced standing in any institution is usually based on an interview and
a portfolio submission, as well as credits.

TECHNICAL THEATRE DIPLOMA PROGRAM
General Information
The Technical Theatre Diploma program at Capilano College prepares graduates to work behind the scenes
in the live entertainment industry and some areas of the film and television industry. This two-year program
offers practical, hands-on training in lighting, painting, props, sound, set construction and stage management.
Our graduates are currently working for theatre companies, festivals, scene shops, special events, and
lighting and sound companies. Some are also working in the film and television industry as grips, carpenters,
painters and props people.
Facilities
Classes are held in both the Arbutus Studio and the Capilano College Performing Arts Theatre, which houses
the Department's season of plays. The theatre is complete with rehearsal hall, technical workshops,
state-of-the-art equipment, a fly-tower and a 376-seat house.
Theatre students enjoy exceptional access to these facilities and assist in running the theatres in a hands-on,
educational experience.
The Theatre department produces a series of plays in which students work in settings simulating professional
conditions. The goal is to foster professional discipline and to provide opportunities for students to practice
skills learned in the classroom.
Faculty and professional guest artists are the directors and designers for the plays produced by the Theatre
department in the Performing Arts Theatre. Shows in this facility are technically challenging and provide
valuable experience for student technicians.
In addition to the department productions, students have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of events
that take place in the Performing Arts Theatre. Students are involved with the set up and operation of
professional, touring theatre productions, folk, jazz, and pop concerts, and a host of other events.
Plays produced in the Arbutus Studio have different goals. They resemble the kind of theatre produced for
Fringe Festivals and small companies. In this more intimate venue, students have the freedom to explore.

of everyday life, and can develop our own arguments with clarity and confidence. At the instructor's discretion,
the course may introduce students to classical syllogistic logic.
Note: PHIL 120 is a natural continuation of this course and is recommended for those who want a thorough
introduction to the concepts and principles of rational thought.
PHIL 117
Philosophy of Religion
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks
This course examines arguments in answer to two philosophical questions. First, are there any good reasons
for believing some kind of God exists? Second, if rational arguments are unpersuasive, is it a mistake to
believe religious claims nevertheless? In addressing the first question, the course considers the cosmological,
teleological, and ontological arguments for the existence of God, the argument from religious experience,
the problem of evil, and related matters such as the attributes of God, miracles, revelation, and death. In
addressing the second question, the course focuses on the conflict between faith and reason. Topics include
the ethics of believing without evidence, arguments for and against objective reasoning, and the pragmatic
justification of religious belief. The course is relevant to all students, from any tradition, with or without
religious faith. The only prerequisite is an interest in exploring metaphysical and epistemological arguments
in answer to the above central questions of philosophical inquiry.
PHIL 120
Scientific Reasoning
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks

decision making, the nature and testing of scientific theories in both the natural and social sciences and
the difference between causal relations and correlations. Attention will also be given to the fallacies involved
in the appeal to polls and statistics.
Note: There are no prerequisites, but the course is a natural continuation of PHIL 110, and will appeal
especially to students who have an interest in either the natural or social sciences.
PHIL 140
Philosophy and Law: Introduction to Canadian Law
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks
A general introduction to the fundamental principles of jurisprudence and to the basic legal institutions of
Canada. The course addresses such philosophical topics as what a law is; whether it is what legislators
say it is or what courts say it is; and how to determine whether a law is good or bad. It also examines the
history and theory of Canadian law (including the development of the Canadian Constitution), the system
of Canadian courts, and the roles of members of the legal profession. Consideration is given to the nature
of legal reasoning, the doctrine of precedent, and principles of statutory interpretation. An introduction is
provided to the fields of contract, torts, administrative and family law, and the process of law reform.
PHIL 141
Philosophy and Law: Introduction to Criminal Justice System
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs

operational practices of the Canadian criminal justice system. In the course of studying the structure and
operations of the criminal justice system in its various stages from the moment of initial police involvement
to the correctional disposition of convicted offenders, the course focuses on both theoretical and practical
decision making. Theoretical concerns include: individual civil liberties in relation to police procedures,
notions of evidence, sentencing theory, and current correctional strategies.
Note: The above two courses are modelled on SFU's Criminology 131/135 and are intended for both
philosophy students and those interested in pursuing further studies in the field of criminology.

philosophy of Thomas Aquinas and the end of the mediaeval era. Among the other philosophers to be
examined are Plato, Aristotle and Augustine. The focus will be on the metaphysical and epistemological
views that have shaped the European intellectual heritage. We will also examine the extent to which
Christianity has given shape to the peculiar character of philosophy in the medieval era.
Note: This course is intended to appeal to a broad audience. Anyone with an interest in the intellectual
traditions of European heritage is welcome.
PHIL 151
History of Philosophy: Modern

extent to which it has been shaped by, and given shape to, philosophical thought during this period.
Note: This course is intended to appeal to a broad audience. Anyone with an interest in the intellectual
traditions of European heritage is welcome.
PHIL 200
Political Philosophy: Classic Theories
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs

issues in political philosophy by looking at the writings of some of history's most important philosophers,
possibly including Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Mill, and Marx. The general
question addressed is: How should society be organized? In considering answers to this question we
investigate the grounds for political and social structures like the state, government, laws, property, and
principles of justice.
PHIL 201
Political Philosophy: Problems and Issues
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks
This course adopts a problems and issues approach to political philosophy. Rather than focusing on
particular philosophers in the history of political thought (as in PHIL 200), we consider answers to some of
the most pressing questions facing political theorists. Topics addressed might include: the justification of
authority; the value and limits of rights; liberty and equality; the advantages and disadvantages of democracy;
the nature and scope of justice; and nationalism and globalization. A contemporary perspective will be
emphasized.
PHIL 202
Introduction to Formal Logic
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks
A standard introduction to the formal techniques of argument analysis. Formal logic was invented to mirror
and evaluate mathematical reasoning and is now a separate branch of Mathematics. Our interest in it will,
however, not be mathematical. Instead we will concentrate on the relation of formal logic to everyday
reasoning and language in general. The course is essential for students thinking of majoring in Philosophy,
but also very useful to Computing Science and Mathematics majors. It is designed to transfer to SFU as
their Philosophy 210 (required for both Philosophy and Computing Science majors), and to UBC as
Philosophy 302. There are no prerequisites, although students may find Philosophy 110 provides useful
background. Please note that this is not an introductory philosophy course, but one which introduces
mathematical methods of argument analysis. It is not suitable for students merely seeking a general
understanding of what philosophy has to offer.

An introduction to some of the traditional problems of metaphysics and epistemology. Some of the questions
considered are: Does God exist? What is the relationship between faith and reason? Does free will exist?
Is sense perception a reliable source of knowledge? What is the nature of causality? Is materialism true?
What is the nature of mind? What is the relationship between mind and body? What is the scientific method?
While this is not a course in the history of philosophy, it will cover many of the classical attempts to answer
these questions.
Note: The specific content and emphasis of the course will be at the instructor's discretion.
Note: Prerequisite may be waived by permission of instructor.
PHIL 220
Philosophy in Literature
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks

PHIL 222
Philosophy of Culture (Aesthetics)
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks
An introduction to philosophical analysis of cultural works. The course will provide an exploration of aesthetic
theory, examining both traditional works of art as well as contemporary cultural productions in a variety of
media. One of the objectives of the course is to make sense of what a society is "saying" through its popular
culture. Open to anyone in first or second year.
PHIL 230
Minds, Brains, and Machines
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks
This course is an introduction to contemporary philosophy of mind. We will investigate the major philosophical
theories of mind, but consider also if or how recent developments in neuroscience, biology, psychology,
and the study of artificial intelligence influence the philosophical evaluation of these theories. Philosophy
of mind is not psychology (although obviously there are connections). Rather, it is the attempt to understand
what mental phenomena are and how they might relate to the physical (or material) realm. In the course,
we will address questions like the following. What is the nature of mental states? What is the relationship
between the mind and the body? Will a physical explanation of consciousness explain consciousness? Are
'zombies' possible? Is the brain just a computer? Is genuine artificial intelligence possible?
PHIL 240
Philosophy and Gender Relations
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks
Founded on a wide range of philosophical readings, this course will focus on questions such as: What is
the good life and its relation to intimacy and family? What is the good person? Are there different models
for different genders? What constitutes a good relationship? How important are mutuality, respect, affection,
sex, and interdependence to such a relationship? What counts as equality/equity? How should the answers
to such questions influence our views on such social issues as affirmative action, prostitution and
pornography?
The impact of "Women's Liberation" and the "Men's Movement" will be discussed, as will varying suggestions
for overcoming the "gender gap". This course should be of interest to men and women equally; indeed, it
is assumed that the quality of class discussion will be a function of the degree to which the perspectives
of both genders are well represented. Open to anyone in first or second year.
PHIL 242
Philosophy of Human Nature
3.00 credits
(4,0,0) hrs
15 wks
This course tackles a broad spectrum of questions and approaches the issue of human nature. Among the
questions to be considered are: Are we, by nature, morally good or evil? Are we purely egocentric
beings-biological machines of some sort - or are we spiritual, immaterial beings? Is there some enduring
entity that defines the self? Are we free to do as we choose? Or are we essentially passionate creatures
who act strictly on the basis of our feelings? Ultimately, our goal will be to learn to think critically and
independently about these issues.

comprised of institutions such as the family, religion, the mass media and education, for example, as well
as rules, customs, laws, ideologies, etc. Our society is also embedded with structural inequalities related
to gender, social class and ethnicity. Utilizing what has been termed "the sociological imagination," the
