KWANTLEN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

OVERVIEW OUR APPLIED GEOGRAPHY PROGRAM

In the Applied Geography program our participants will benefit from a distinct emphasis onbaccalaureate education with an applied professional focus Theory and applied learningexperiences are viewed as partners in education

Students will be challenged to attain the highest levels of scholastic achievement through a uniqueblend of professional professionallyrelated and liberal studies courses

Graduates will have acquired strong analytical and applied skills to prepare them for direct entry intoa professional career or post graduate studies

The key to our academic relevance is continuous contact with the many communities involved inthe applied geography field business government colleges universities public and private interestgroups and international agencies These contacts will provide opportunities for student andgraduate employment promote faculty currency and growth and maintain curriculum relevance

What do applied geographers do

Applied geographers deal with a wide range of issues including environmental social economicpolitical and cultural issues and dimensions As well as traditional roles as land use plannersresearch analysts and project coordinators geographers trained in statistics research methodscomputer applications cartography and other systematic studies are able to use well developedresearch skills and abilities

A good applied geographer has the ability to

sort through large volumes of information to select material that is relevant to sepcificconcerns

perceive relationships especially spatial among complex sets of thingswork with computers and understand their use in analyzing information and in problemsolving students in the program will be trained in computer applicationsread and interpret maps and air photographs and work with cartographic databasesuse basic techniques of statistical analysis

do research and analysisconduct interviews and communicate comples informationcommunicate effectively in verbal and written form and through the design and constructionof maps charts tables and diagramsmanage projects and work as part of a team

THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE PROGRAM

Applied Geography at Kwantlen emphasizes the application of geographic skills in a research andproblem solving framework

Our goal is to provide students with a unique combination of theory and analytical techniques whichenable them to work effectively and independently in a variety of careers after graduation

The four year degree program leads to a Bachelor of Applied Studies and will be recognized as amajor in Geography by other Canadian universities

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

The curriculum is organized into three components compulsory professional and professionallyrelated courses professionally related electives and liberal studies electives This gives an individualthe broad education needed to succeed as a professional and as an educated citizen

SPECIALIZATION

The first two years of the program provide a foundation of knowledge and introduce a number ofresearch method courses centred around Geographic Information System technology In third andfourth years students can choose to specialize in one of three areas

Resource Management and Environmental AnalysisEmphasis is on study of management and planning policies to deal with theallocation of resources through a systematic inventory and analysis of environmentalsystems

Specific topics include environmental law public survey procedures benefitcostanalysis and environmental impact assessment

Retail and Industrial Location AnalysisFocus is on the problems and issues that must be considered in determining thelocation of retail and industrial projects at local regional national and internationallevels

Ability to do research and coordinate studies of related elements is the emphasis ofspecialization

Land and Urban AnalysisFactors such as residential patterns business and industrial developments andtransportation systems are one focus of this specialization along with their role in thestate and growth of urban centres and the implication of their individual andcombined changesCourses address urban growth patterns transportation housing regional disparityplanning issues and locational problems within urban areas

INTERNSHIPS

As an integral part of the curriculum intemships involve two minimum threemonth periods of paidpractical work experience with an approved sponsoring agency Internships are usually completedbetween second and third years and third and fourth years

Internships will be arranged through an internship officer and liaison committee with potentialemployers Internship employers are from both public and private sectors and typical internshippositions likely include

B Program Description81 What are the economic industrial social and cultural

goals of this program

Program Economic Goals1 Employment for graduates2 Employer partnership to assist financing program3 Industrial product and service sales

Program Industrial Goals1 Meet employersimmediate staffing needs graduates who can enhance a firms

productivity with GIS and be able to contribute to the continued costeffectiveness in the geomatics industry through their applications development work

2 Develop a controlled flow of highly skilled graduates to meet ongoing and changing needsof employers in the geomatics and applications fields

3 Provide industry cooperation and facilitation to contribute continued leadership inthe geomatics field through leading edge education and training in GIS applicationsdevelopment

Social and Cultural Goals

1 Produce graduates who will be participating and contributing members of society2 Educate graduates who are able to respect the opinions diversity and cultures of

others and work with all members of society

B2 What are the anticipated employment destinations for graduatesPrivate and public sector employment small firms and large corporations

B3 What is the normal expected time required for program completion in years or semesters

Full 4 year program 8 semesters 2 summer cooperative educationworkexperience KraalsAdvanced standing based on Prior Learning Assessment for work experience and self directededucation as well as course transfer equivalence from other learning situations and institutions willshorten program duration for students granted advanced standing

84 What specialties majors or minors will be offered

The first two years of the program will offer a core of university transferequivalence courses towardan Associate of Arts degree

The final 2 years of the program will develop into a highly focussed major in GeographicInformation Systems GIS in a specialized application field in

1 Industrial Location and Marketing Analysis with GIS2 Urban Planning Analysis and GIS3 Resource Analysis and Environmental Assessment

and GIS

B5 What programs exist at other BC institutions with similar content or objectives If similarwhat is the rationale for duplication

At universities GIS curriculum is developed in geography undergraduate programs It is providedas a research and information processing tol for further develpment after graduation

At other University Colleges GIS is mainly introduced as a contemporary adjunct in cartographyor geographic techniques courses UCFV or less commonly as an integral part of a program suchas the Resource Management Program at Cariboo University College At Malaspina UniversityCollege forms a major emphasis as a geographical research technology but without connecting todirect employment for graduates

No post secondary institution in British Columbia has yet to offer as comprehensive highlyintegrated GIS and Applied Geography program Kwantlensprogram will not only focus on thisimportant aspect but will be directly linked to employmanet as a direct outcome

B6 How does this program relate to other programs offered at this institution

The program integrates with programs in Social Science and the School of Business at KwantlenThe Applied Geography program provides access and opportunities for GIS incorporation in otherprograms such as Criminology Environmental Protection Technology The first two years of theprogram mesh with current offerings and programs in social science science and liberal arts bydesignating required and elective courses from these programs The program utilizes with slightmodifications eight existing courses in the current Geography program

B7 Will other programs be reduced or eliminated to offer this program

No programs or cousre displacements are anticipated but some existing UT Geography sectionsmy be redesigned for the program or eliminated in favour of new program specific coursesOn the other hand elements of the planned Applied Geography program will likely attract interestfrom other disciplines and programs at Kwantlen These may discover opportunities to addeducation and training in GIS to developments they are planning to focus skills of students in theirprogram areas

C Admission and TransferC1 Who are the intended students

The intended students will come from a number of sources1 Employees of companies and agencies working in GIS who require learning

specific knowledge and skills to meet immediate employer needs2 Students graduating from high school who can demonstrate proficiency in

mathematics and science and have an aptitude for computing3 Mature students seeking continuing educationretraining or educational

completion to obtain a bachelorsdegree for self fulfillment or to achieveemployment advancement

C2 What enrollments are anticipated

Enrollment will depend on industry demand and employment opportunities forcooperative students as well as graduatesThe sequential core of the of the program will be limitedto 40 FTE entering program in thefirst year When fully implemented the program will have 135 FTE students enrolled with an annualgraduation of no less than 30

It is anticipated that students with advancedstanding or following part time or interrupted learningpaths will increase the annual total number of students in the program to near 160The extent to which industry can absorb 30 graduates per year is currently being assessed

D Program ResourcesDI In general what existing andor new resources will be requiredfor this program

Existing space at our Langley Campus can be used to accommodate the program facilities Theexisting geography laboratory will be used for standard classroom and geography course lab workand tutorials Additional room space will be required to house the Cartographic lab facility and aseparate GIS lab for the initial first year New state of the art PC including digitizing printing andmap plotting capabilities will be required as dedicated for the program 20 workstations equippedfor GIS instruction and applications development will be required to accommodate the plannedcapacity of students in the program in one lab Map drafting facilities will be required for a secondlab for cartographic instruction and developmental work Sufficient existing openlab computingfacilities are available at Kwantlen campuses for student use by selfstudy and outofcourseexperiental learning A distance education opportunity is planned to unfold and take form after thesecond year of program operation employing non traditional instruction based on the provencapabilities of the program With the cooperation of the Open Learning Agency distributed accessto the program in workplace settings and distant communities in British Columbia will likely attractmore participants and foster continuing education and professional development in AppliedGeography and GIS among practioners while they maintain employment By that point there maybe more than 150 students involved in the varied stages of the program and its courses Theanticipated growth is intended not to diminish the quality of learning nor will it increase the capitalcosts of facilities

Appendices Data

Needs Assessment

AOutlookfor the Industry

The British Columbian economy in transition continues to remain critically reliant on strategicdevelopment and and cost effective application of informationbased technologies in manymanagerial decision making contexts Geographic Information System GIS applications continueto grow in importance as a management analytical and decision making technology

In geomatics work that involves the acquisition and management of geographically referenced dataBritish Columbia is an industry leader It has a share almost double its share based on the proportionof the countrys population resident in the province Revenues numbers of new firms and

employment in the industry have grown by over 15 through the 1990s driven largely byadvances in GIS and remote sensing technologies and applications Canadian private sectormarkets for products and services account for over 60 of the billion dallar annual business andexport revenue from products and services amounted to over 120 million Revenues linked to GISrose to over 12 of industry total in 1991 and the outlook continues to look favourable for thenext decade

The industry will continue to be able to build on its technical expertise and develop betterapplications and broader market penetration only if continues to have access to a pool ofappropriately educated and adequately trained employees Associated with the industrialexpansion over the last decade qualifications needed by employees has risen sharply Informationmanagement skills required for the construction and management of large complex geographicallyreferenced databases have encouraged more degreed employees as well as professionally qualifiedemployees As the GIS field continues to grow these relatively scarce skills are being eagerlysought by industry employers and clients

B Occupational Analysis Employer Demand

B1 Graduate Outcomes

Program graduates will develop a broad but comprehensive capibility in operating and analyzing spatialinformation This capibility will be based on a foundation in Applied Mathematics and Geography focussedon problem solving skill development enhanced with organizational perspectives and a business practiceorientation

B2 Graduate Opportunities

A survey of program advisory committee members 20 supports the general employability of programgraduates across a broad range of organizations and specializations This group identified and confirmed over25 annual positions involved with GIS technology The same survey is currently has been distributed to over100 employers who are likely to employ graduates with a specialization in Applied Geography and GISspecialists

Abhijit SEN abhijit@KwantlenBCCASubject Applied Information Technology Degree Proposal

Hi Barbara

This is to reply your message to Gordon Lee regarding the above degreeproposal In our proposal we suggested six academic semesters and three

coop terms with a dissertation Students not taking co op may carry outa substantial thesis project in lieu of co op and dissertation

It is certainly up to the individual institutions to decide whether toaccept this as an equivalent to one year of work In our opinion wedont see any reason why a university would not accept this

Any way this is an applied degree which is distinctly different from theacademic degrees currently offered by the universities Please let meknow if you have further questions

OFFICE OF THE

VICE PRESIDENT EDUCATIONProgress report

1 During the summer we submitted our Initial Development team to DPAC We would

like to make two amendments Dianne Crisp resigned from the Committee this fall because

of her position on the executive of DPAC In her place we have added Dr Zenon

Pylyshyn Director of the Centre for Cognitive Science at Rutgers University who should

be very helpful with the applied cognitive science practicum Before going to Rutgers

Dr Pylyshyn created an undergraduate Cognitive Science program at the University of

Western Ontario We are currently looking for other members

2 We surveyed 184 students to assess the interest and concerns to do with taking an

Applied Psychology degree at Kwantlen University College Of those surveyed 50

indicated that they were definitely interested in an Applied Psychology degree and another

35 indicated they might be interested in the future A number wanted the program to

start soon Although this was only a pilot study based on cost recovery students 62

were full time we plan to revise the survey and do a more complete version during the

regular term when appropriate

3 We created a survey to assess what specific skills employers who hire psychology

graduates want from an employee and tried it out on 16 employers

4 We have composed a first draft of our letter of intent

61 Explain how this program relates to the other existing or proposed programs here at KwantlenUniversity College

This program will draw upon the expertise available at Kwenden Students in public history will berequired to take courses in oral communication history ethics research methodology and computerinformation systems In addition course electives may be selected from business economicsanthropology geography modem languages and fine art Thus students will gain an applied degreea brood background in liberal studies and specific training in employment skills

OUTCOMES

1 Students will be prepared for a variety of employment opportunities In the areas of businessaboriginal affairs tourism a variety of govemment agencies and the growing film Industry

2 What other individual or societal benefits can be expected

Locally based class assignments will promote a greater understanding and appreciation of ethnicgender and social issues throughout Kwantlenscatchment areas

3 What labour market data shows a demand for this type of graduate

At this point our findings are quite limited but H Foster and A Grovesarticle Looking Behind theMasks USC taw Review 1993 draws attention to the lack of native claim researchers and the needfor a special research centre in British Columbia Other evidence is far more anecdotal and reflects theabsence of any Jobs for traditional history majors many of whom end up entering graduate schoolswhere even the completion of a PhD rarely translates into any employment opportunitiesHowever upon occasions our colleagues in the history department have responded to requestsfrom cruise ships for historical guides along the BC coast and requests from film studios about varioushistorical topics which suggest that a market for historical services does exist The success of publichistory especially In the western United States as reflected in the Journal of Public History Is alsoencouraging

Please fmd enclosed the first annual report of the Degree Program Review CommitteeDPRC I hope you will find the report informative and helpful in preparing futuredegree submissions

In addition to the information contained in the annual report and in previous systemletters from the Ministry the DPRC has noted two points that it wishes to share withdegree granting institutions First in seeking to establish the uniqueness of a proposedprogram a number of institutions have revealed a tendency to inadvertently misrepresentother institutions similar existing degree programs These comparisons haveoccasionally resulted in defensive responses and counter productive interactions betweeninstitutions The Committee suggests that institutions proceed with caution whencomparing programs and consult thoroughly with other institutions to ensure an open andconstructive dialogue

Second the DPRC cautions institutions about the use of the term consultant in aprogram submission Many formal and informal discussions take place in thedevelopment of a proposed program However unless an individual is asked to formallyevaluate and comment upon a full proposal and that individual does so it is notappropriate to list the person as a consultant

DEGREE PROGRAM REVIEW COMMITTEE

ANNUAL REPORT

for the period June 1995 to July 1996

Degree Program Review CommitteeAnnual Report

for the period June 1995 to July 1996

In recent years the number of institutions in British Columbiaspost secondary educationsystem permitted to grant degrees has expanded from four universities to 13degree granting institutions It has been recognized that the anticipated growth in thenumber and variety of degree programs must be balanced with efforts to ensure that alldegree programs in the Province are of the highest quality are relevant to the social andeconomic needs of the Province and represent an appropriate use of financial resourcesTo ensure these objectives are met the Ministry responsible for post secondary educationimplemented a process in June 1995 for conducting systemwide reviews of all new andsignificantly revised degree programs

As part of the degree review process a Degree Program Review Committee DPRC wasestablished by the Minister responsible for post secondary education to provide advice onthe educational merits of proposed degree programs

The DPRC has the following membership appointed by the Minister see attached list forthe names of the current members

two representatives from The University Presidents Council TUPCtwo representatives from the Council of Chief Executive Officers CCEOtwo university facultytwo collegeinstitute facultyone Open Learning Agency OLA representativeone student representativea minimum of two representatives from the general public andone official from the Ministry of Education Skills and Training

not yet nominated by the student association for appointment by the Minister

The DPRC met for the first time on June 12 1995 Over the past year the Committee hasestablished working procedures for the review of degree program proposals and hasdeveloped guidelines to clarify when degree proposals should be submitted for reviewThis information has been communicated to degree granting institutions

The Committee notes that the communication flow to date between the DPRC andinstitutions has been open and supportive As the process evolves it is hoped that thelevel of communication will continue to be enhanced Ideally this process will alsoencourage greater consultation among the institutions as they develop degree proposalsthat best respond to the needsofthe Province

From the inception of the degree program review process until July 1996 the Ministry hasreceived 73 degree submissions summarized in the following table

Baccalaureate Magistral Doctoral Total

University 10 13 5 28

Institute 5 0 0 5

University College 37 0 0 37

OLAvarious 2 1 0 3

Total 54 14 5 73

The DPRC has not reviewed all 73 submissions Some have been withdrawn by theoriginating institution or have not been recommended by the Ministry to proceed beyondthe Letter of Intent stage to the Full Proposal stage Others are still under activeconsideration by the Ministry at the Letter of Intent stage and in some cases the Ministryand the DPRC are awaiting Full Proposals

In total the DPRC has reviewed 25 new degree program proposals up to July 1996 Theattached table lists the dates when these proposals were reviewed and the outcomes of theCommitteesdeliberations As demonstrated in the table the Committee has

recommended approval for 20 proposals and the Minister hasaccepted all of theserecommendations With respect to the five remaining proposals the Committee hasdetermined that review is not required for one proposal one proposal has been withdrawnby an institution and resubmitted in light of the Committeesrecommendations and threeproposals remain under review

The DPRC is pleased to report that it has worked through the backlog of degreesubmissions that developed while the review process was being finalized The Committeeis now in a position to deal with submissions in a timely manner

In the course of its work the DPRChas commented on various aspects of each FullProposal notably whether there is sufficient academic content to warrant a degree and ifthere are adequate resources and faculty in order to implement the program TheCommittee considers that it has made a contribution to the academic quality of new

degrees in the Province by working with the institutions in shaping the degrees

After reflecting on proposals reviewed to date the DPRC notes that it has asked similarquestions for most of the proposals By sharing these frequently asked questions with thedegree granting institutions the Committee hopes the information will be helpful toinstitutions preparing new degree proposals and hopes that is will facilitate the review andapproval process These questions are outlined in the attached document called DegreeProgram Review CommitteesAnalysis of Degree Program Proposals

In conclusion the Committee recognizes the differing mandates of the many degreegranting institutions and is sensitive in its evaluation process to innovative proposals thatare a departure from traditional models of university degrees The DPRC would like toemphasize that it is committed to the dual objectives of facilitating diversity within thesystem and ensuring that the quality of degreelevel programs is maintained Achieving abalance between these two objectives will serve to further strengthen the post secondaryeducational programming offered in the Province

B Institutional and Program Identification

1 When components of the proposed degree program are to be provided byinstitutions other than the one awarding the degree are these institutionsidentified and are the responsibilities and relationships of each clearly describedIs it clear how the institution responsible for the degree will determine acceptablestandards in components provided by other institutions

C Program Description

123Is the need for the proposed program adequately established Are the learningoutcomes clear and do they fill an identified need economicindustrialsocialcultural

Is the rationale for a full degree program convincing or would a shorter programfill the need

567What evidence is there that the stated outcomes are likely to occur given theprogram description content and methodology

2

D Admission and Transfer

1 4 Is there evidence of equity in admission requirements

Is there reasonable provision for students to transfer into or out of the proposeddegree program

Is there reasonable provision for students to demonstrate that they have achievedthe learning outcomes in other ways so that the time spent in redundant studies isreduced

E Learning Methodologies

G Program Resources

2

What is the evidence that the proposed methodologies are likely to produce theintended learning outcomes

F Faculty

Are there enough faculty contributing to this degree or major minor etc toprovide students an appropriate breadth of experience and are the qualifications offaculty adequateappropriate

NEW DEGREE PROGRAM APPROVAL PROCESS

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND FORMAT

Letters of Intent and full program proposals are meant to be informative but limited inlength Institutions will have the opportunity however to append the full results of theirdevelopmental research and deliberations The primary objective is to ensure that theMinistry of Education Skills and Training and the Degree Program Review CommitteeDPRC have adequate information on which to base their recommendations while at thesame time limiting the content to the key elements of the program and presenting it in auniform manner

Given the uniqueness of each institution and each degree proposal some questionsincluded in the following guidelines will be more or less significant and at times someadditional information may be appropriate which is not solicited in these questionsHowever the following questions provide the organizing structure of the submissionswhich will facilitate the submission and approval processes The institution is expected toaddress these questions in the order presented below and using the headings andnumbering system in formatting their proposals for presentation to the Ministry and theDPRC

Proposals for revisions or enhancements of existing degrees offered by the same institutionmay require responses to only some of the questions In such cases institutions maychoose to give very brief responses or simply to indicate that a question is notapplicable to their proposal

Each institution will decide the depth and breadth of information to be supplied inaddressing each question balancing the needs both to make the case and to be efficientand focused in the presentation If the Ministry or the DPRC concludes that additionalinformation is required a supplementary request will be made
