ACADEMIC HANDBOOK: GRADUATE PROGRAMS LISTING [Last Update: 12SEP]
[The
Faculty of Graduate Studies was replaced by the School of Graduate and
Postdoctoral Studies July 1, 2008.]
The
following is a list of the graduate programs which were either introduced or
withdrawn with the approval of Senate. The list, which is incomplete and under
construction, is chronological with the newest approvals at the top of each
entry. If Senate approval was given after September 1997, the program will be
linked to the proposal that went to Senate, as part of its agenda. Prior to
that time, the Senate minute number is listed and a copy of the original
proposal is available on request from the University Secretariat.
The
intent of this section is to provide an index of Senate approvals.
