A Collaborative Specialization is an intra-university graduate field of study that provides an additional multidisciplinary experience for students enrolled in and completing the degree requirements for one of a number of approved Master’s and/or PhD programs. Students meet the admission requirements of, and register in, the participating (or “home”) program but complete, in addition to the degree requirements of that program, the additional requirements specified by the Collaborative Specialization. The degree conferred is that of the home program, and the completion of the Collaborative Specialization is indicated by a transcript notation indicating the additional specialization that has been attained (e.g., PhD in History with specialization in Migration and Ethnic Relations).
The Collaborative Specialization in Migration and Ethnic Relations (MER) at Western brings together graduate students and faculty to study questions of migration, ethnic relations, cultural diversity, conflict, acculturation and the integration of migrants, from the perspective of various social science disciplines. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Admission Requirements:
• Students who wish to enroll in this collaborative graduate program must first apply to a participating department. Students who have been admitted to the graduate program of a participating department are then eligible for admission to the collaborative program. |
