Statement of Purpose

The Education Program prepares students to assume leadership roles in education. Graduates are

ready to begin a professional career and to broaden and deepen their professional expertise

through continuing study. Students acquire the knowledge, ethical standards, skills, dispositions,

and flexibility needed to address current problems in education both creativley and effectivley,

and to think critically about professional practice. In all its work, the Program seeks to prepare

educators who understand the past, delight in the challenges of the present, and look

optimistically to the future.

Degrees In Education

The BA/BEd degree is awarded upon successful completion of 56 term courses, of which 20

term-courses are designated in Education.

Students who have completed courses at another University may apply to transfer into a

concurrent degree program. A minimum of half of the BA and half of the BEd must be

completed at UNB.

Pre-Internships and Internship (Student Teaching)

The Education Program places students in school settings subject to approval by the University

a. In order to complete the BEd degree with a recommendation for New Brunswick Teacher

Certification, a student must successfully complete both Pre-Internship I & II ( ED 4003 and ED

4004 ) and the Internship ( ED 5040 ) required in the program. For concurrent students the

second one week placement ( ED 4004 ) will take place at the end of the last Winter term before

the individual‟s internship; the first one week placement ( ED 4003 ) will take place at the end of

the previous Winter term. The Pre-Internships and Internship are evaluated on a pass/fail basis. If

an intern is removed from ED 5040 by the Faculty of Arts a grade of NCR will be assigned. (A

grade of „W‟, withdrawal, shall not be assigned after this point.)

b. During their Internship students participate in teaching and learning activities in an

educational setting approved by the faculty. Responsibility for arranging and approving student

teaching placements and Internship rests within the Education Program Coordinator.

c. Before entering the 15 week Internship, prerequisites must be met (see course: ED 5040.)

d. With the approval of the Dean of Arts, courses other than the Internship may be taken to meet

degree requirements provided the student authorizes the Dean in writing to recommend to the

provincial licensing authorities that a New Brunswick Teacher's License not be granted to the

student upon completion of the BEd program. Any later request for registration in the Internship

must be submitted in writing to the Education Coordinator. In such cases there is no obligation

on the part of the Program to place the student in an internship at a later date.

e. Students are responsible for all travel and living expenses incurred.

f. Re-registration

1. Students who have withdrawn from the Internship must establish that the factors necessitating

withdrawal have changed and that there is reason to assume that a further attempt would be

successful. The request for re-registration must be submitted in writing and must satisfy the Dean

writing to the Dean of Arts. In such cases there is no obligation on the part of the Program to

place the student in an internship.

2. Students who have failed the Internship (that is, received a grade of NCR) must establish that

the factors causing the failure have changed and that there is reason to assume that a further

attempt would be successful. Following failure, students will not be permitted to re-register for

https://eservices.unb.ca/calendar/undergraduate/display_desc.cgi?number=ED%204003








the practicum until at least one full academic year has elapsed. The request for re-registration

must be submitted in writing and must satisfy the Dean of Arts. In such cases there is no

obligation on the part of the Program to place the student in an internship.

g. Students who apply for the Internship within 3 years of having completed the BEd degree

without the Internship normally will be allowed to register for the Internship without taking any

further courses. If more than 3 years has elapsed, the Coordinator may require specific courses

(in subject areas and methodology) to be taken prior to registration in the Internship.

SECTION D. Changes to regulations and programs including new program proposals

Attach the Information Services & Systems Assessment for new programs or significantly modified programs. Attach the UNB Program Modification form if program changes are significant.

D.1

Program affected: Information & Communication Studies

New: ____ Existing: X

Description of new program or changes to existing one: The two currently-listed IT courses that are required by ICS students have been deleted and/or changed by the Department of Computer Science & Applied Statistics (CSAS). The ICS program will set new, lower-level ICS course requirements to compensate for this change by CSAS. Instead, the program will require all majors, minors and double-majors to take ICS 1002 – Foundations of Information & Communication Studies – and one of ICS 2102 – Popular Music, Culture & Communication – OR ICS 2103 – Understanding Comics & Manga.

We are also removing POLS 4411 and POLS 4211 from the list of options for the advanced research requirement and inserting ICS 4101 in that list instead.

Rationale for new program or regulation change(s): The Dept of CSAS has changed the IT courses that were requirements by ICS, necessitating a change in lower level required courses in ICS. Also POLS so rarely offers POLS 4411 and POLS 4211 that it is better to delete these options from the listed possible options for the advanced research course and to add our own offering (ICS 4101) which has often been used as a substitute over the last several years.

Effective date for change: September 2012


INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION STUDIES

General Information

The University of New Brunswick at Saint John offers a Bachelor of Arts in Information and Communication Studies (ICS), a Double Major in ICS, and a Minor in ICS. The ICS program seeks to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the social, political, economic and cultural impact of information and communication technologies and practices. As an interdisciplinary Arts program based in the tradition of the social sciences and humanities, the ICS approach combines theoretical, historical, empirical, and practical study, with an emphasis on emerging media of communication and information gathering and distribution. Course offerings are grouped into three primary areas: Media and Culture; Technology and Communication Practices; and Information Gathering, Governance and Policy. These areas of concentration, combined with the interdisciplinary organization of the program, provide students with broad exposure to a variety of perspectives in information and communication studies.

UNB Saint John also offers a Bachelor of Information Sciences (BISc). This program is interdisciplinary, with core courses in Business Administration, Economics, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics. The focus of the degree is on the collection, analysis and management of information encountered in other academic disciplines as well as in business, industry, government and other areas.
