Community Service Learning (CSL) lets you replace course assignments with volunteer projects. • Broaden your knowledge and make social change happen on campus or elsewhere in the National Capital Region. • Put a human face on the concepts you cover and better understand your course material through in-the-field experience. • Increase your chances of receiving scholarships with an official statement of your volunteer experience (your “Co-Curricular Record”). STAND OUT FOR EMPLOYERS THROUGH YOUR VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

The official statement of your volunteer experience can also increase your chances of being selected for a job interview as well as being accepted in a graduate program. Your volunteer experience will strengthen your resumé and your openness to the world will make you stand out for employers.

This will help you find a job faster when you graduate. In 2014, University of Ottawa Co-operative Education Programs had a 96% placement rate.

GETTING YOUR DEGREE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA The path to your University of Ottawa degree is simple and flexible. It’s simple, because in many cases, you can decide almost everything right from the get-go, from the discipline to the type of program and the different options you might want to include along the way. At specific moments during your studies, you can choose to remain on the same path and stick to the choices you made at the start of your degree, or you can take advantage of the flexibility offered to you by adjusting or completely changing your initial choices without it having a major impact on the length of your studies. For example, you can study other disciplines, apply to CO-OP or French immersion, or take part in an international exchange. Below, you’ll find the typical academic paths, available according to the discipline you choose when you apply for undergraduate studies. Disciplines and the types of programs they offer are listed in the tables on pages 11 to 13.

THE LOWDOWN ON COURSES At the University of Ottawa, offering an enriching and stimulating learning experience is our business. This is why our professors are trained to use innovative, interactive and stimulating teaching methods that allow you to experience learning in a positive way. New technologies, social media, off-campus projects, specialized field trips, research projects, distance education, collaborative online platforms, labs, discussion groups, surveys, volunteer opportunities—these are only a few examples of what’s available to you. All this is meant to better prepare you for what’s to come, whether it’s the job market or continuing your studies. Classroom-based courses This is the most conventional lecture format. You learn in person in a classroom setting. Sometimes group discussions, tutorials or laboratory sessions are included. They allow you to deepen your knowledge of the subject matter or to complete assignments.

10

uOttawa.ca/programs

Online courses Course activities take place on an online platform that replaces in-person attendance. This platform gives you access to your course syllabus and notes, and allows you to contact your professor, have discussions with fellow classmates, complete group assignments and write your exams. Blended courses This format combines the best of face-to-face and online teaching, with regularly scheduled on-site classroom lectures and significant online learning activities that replace regularly scheduled class meeting time. A course is considered blended when at least 20% of in-person contact hours are replaced with interactive online activities.

ABORIGINAL STUDIES

DIGITAL JOURNALISM

Designed for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students, these programs acquaint you with the history, philosophy, spirituality, culture, art and current life of Aboriginal peoples in Canada, elsewhere in North America and in countries around the world.

Journalism is currently undergoing a digital shift (the Internet, mobile and tablet technology, data journalism), driving change in journalistic practice and forcing journalists to develop new skills, techniques and approaches. Today’s journalists need to fill a diversity of roles, requiring not only a good understanding of emerging social trends, but also specialized expertise and knowledge. With this program, you will better understand the challenges related to journalism in the Digital Age, in order to help you enter the fast-changing media industry. The Department of Communication offers an Honours Bachelor in Digital Journalism jointly with Algonquin College (in English) and with La Cité (in French). Courses in the Department of Communication provide theoretical, analytical and critical foundations, while courses at the colleges focus on practical training.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

These programs lead to careers in Aboriginal organizations and agencies, the public service, cultural centres, non-profit organizations, consulting firms and educational institutions.

ARABIC LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

Spoken by over 400 million people worldwide, Arabic is one of the world’s major languages. Our programs provide you with not only a good knowledge of the language but also an invaluable perspective on Arabic culture, history, literature, philosophy, religion and society. Agreements between the University of Ottawa and universities in the Arab world allow you to go on exchange programs in Tunisia and Egypt, among other countries. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Mastering a foreign language is an important asset internationally, in the business sector and in the public service. Career opportunities include civil servant, diplomat, cultural and international affairs consultant and tourism professional, as well as positions in the field of immigration.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

• • • • • • •

ENGLISH

Besides providing an excellent base for professional development, a degree in English literature can offer you unmatched intellectual challenges. The Department of English provides courses in all major historical and national areas of English literature. It also offers courses in creative writing and literary theory, along with general interest courses in literature and film, children’s literature, science fiction, and literature and the environment.

ARTS

The BA program is flexible and provides you not only with a solid general education in a setting known for its vibrancy, but also with the opportunity to take a range of courses in arts-specific fields (humanities, languages and literatures, fine arts) or even in other faculties. If you wish, you can also do a minor in a specific subject, like modern languages, art history, music, theatre, communication, history, geography, religious studies or linguistics. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

This program gives you access to a wide range of careers in the public and private sectors. It also prepares you for professional studies in law, medicine and education.

COMMUNICATION

Ours is the information age. Analyzing how information is gathered, produced and distributed helps you understand communication processes—both human and technological—that drive a variety of settings: social, cultural, political, organizational, economic and legal. Combining theory and practice, our programs are geared towards helping you develop critical and analytical skills, preparing you either for a career or for advanced studies. Courses cover the two major fields of communication—media studies, and organizational communication. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

ANTHROPOLOGY

ECONOMICS

Anthropology involves studying the diversity of human societies through comparative analysis. Anthropologists develop tools that contribute to identifying and exploring a variety of important social, cultural, political, economic, environmental and other issues. Anthropology is unique among disciplines because of its methodological approach, which involves in-depth qualitative fieldwork. Our specialized programs in social and cultural anthropology enable students to better understand and analyze cultural changes and intercultural relations in the context of globalization, development, migration and new technologies.

Ever wonder why some countries are richer than others? Ever question why income inequality has been growing? Ever wonder why Canadian politicians worry when other countries may be going bankrupt? Economics can answer all these questions. Economics examines how individuals and societies make choices in a world where resources are limited. It focuses on the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Two important themes are efficiency (the absence of waste in the use of resources) and fairness. Since making choices is central to all human activities, studying economics often helps explain why people and governments behave in certain ways.

ECONOMICS AND PUBLIC POLICY

Public policy decisions shape daily life and wellbeing. Many essential services, such as health care and education, are provided by the public sector.

FACULTY OF LAW – COMMON LAW SECTION Common law refers to a legal system greatly influenced by judge-made law. It is the system of law everywhere in Canada except Quebec, as well as in major jurisdictions such as England, Australia and the United States. The Common Law section offers one of the richest sets of course offerings in the world in a wide variety of areas, including international law, social justice, law and technology, environmental law, public law, health law, aboriginal law and dispute resolution. Students can study common law in English, French or both. Our curriculum prepares you for whatever you want to do with your law degree. We educate constitutional lawyers for the Supreme Court, international lawyers for the world over, business lawyers for Bay Street and general practitioners for Main Street. Our objective is to provide a full service legal education, complemented by areas of specialization that reflect our faculty strengths and our location in the nation’s capital. Our programs concentrate on more than just the letter of the law; we address the spirit of the law and the ideal of justice. In our view, the program should respect and promote the multilingual, multicultural and multiracial characteristics of those studying in it and Canadian society in general. Our students are Canada’s future leaders.

MAIN PROGRAMS

There are three main avenues leading to the common law JD degree: • English Common Law program • French Common Law program • National Program: Offered separately by both the Common Law and Civil Law sections, the National Program allows students from one section to receive training and accreditation in the other in a unique, eight-month program designed to provide a complete bilingual and bijural education in Canada’s common and civil law traditions. The National Program also accepts applicants with law degrees from other Canadian universities.

INTEGRATED PROGRAMS

In addition to offering common law JD degrees through the French, English and National programs, the Common Law Section offers the following integrated programs, allowing students to earn multiple degrees in a reduced timeframe: • Canadian Law Program, offered jointly with the Civil Law Section • JD-BSocSc in Political Science, offered jointly with the Faculty of Social Sciences (in French) • JD-MA in International Affairs, offered jointly with Carleton University’s Norman Paterson School of International Affairs • Canadian-American Dual JD program with the American University Washington College of Law or the Michigan State University College of Law • JD-MBA, offered jointly with the Telfer School of Management • JD-BCom, offered jointly with the Telfer School of Management (in French) CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

FACULTY OF EDUCATION EDUCATION

The Teacher Education program is an intensive two-year full-time program beginning in September and concluding 20 months later in April. The Bachelor of Education program affords you a unique opportunity to gain the theoretical and practical skills needed to teach in elementary or secondary schools and then be recommended for certification by the Ontario College of Teachers. These skills include setting educational objectives, designing and evaluating curricula, and planning creative and innovative lessons for 21st century classrooms. You complete two placements in schools (practica), for a total of 80 to 90 days of school-based teaching experience. You also participate in community service learning placements that provide opportunities to extend your learning outside the usual classroom setting (e.g., in museums, international venues or early childhood education settings). The Teacher Education program is divided into three divisions: Primary/Junior (kindergarten to Grade 6), Junior/Intermediate (grades 4 to 10) and Intermediate/Senior (grades 7 to 12). In all three divisions, you learn necessary educational theory and explore relevant research that enhances your capacity to prepare future citizens for the social, economic, and technological demands of the 21st century knowledge economy.

QUEBEC – CEGEP GENERAL PREREQUISITES AND REQUIREMENTS Before submitting an application, be sure you meet or will meet all admissions requirements: • You have a minimum of 12 successfully completed CEGEP courses, excluding Physical Education and make-up courses • You meet or will meet any program requirements (see tables on pages 58 to 62) • You will have the minimum average required • You meet any language requirements (please refer to page 49 for additional details on the language requirements)

REQUIRED AVERAGE Your admission average, which is also used to determine your eligibility for admission scholarships, is based on all your completed CEGEP courses, including failed courses, but excluding Physical Education and make-up

courses. Please note that all CEGEP courses failed with a final grade lower than 50% are rounded up to 50% for the calculation of your admission average. We do not take the ‘’R’’ rating into consideration. Information on recognition of advanced standing is available on page 45. If you have successfully completed between 12 and 16 CEGEP courses (excluding Physical Education and make-up courses), the University may require a higher admission average. Please note that the requirements listed in the tables on pages 58 to 62, are minimum requirements only and are subject to change. The minimum admission averages are based on 2015 admission requirements and are provided as an example only; admission averages for 2016 have not yet been determined. This means that meeting these minimum admission averages does not guarantee admission. The averages are based on the program, the language of instruction and the number of places available in the program. The University of Ottawa reserves the right to change minimum admission averages without prior notice.

QUEBEC – SECONDARY V GENERAL PREREQUISITES AND REQUIREMENTS

REQUIRED AVERAGE

Before submitting an application, be sure you meet or will meet all admissions requirements:

Your admission average, which is also used to determine your eligibility for admission scholarships, is based on your five best Secondary V courses, including the prerequisites for your chosen program. A minimum average of 84% is required for most programs at the University of Ottawa, but does not guarantee admission.

• You have obtained or are in the process of obtaining your secondary school diploma • You are registered for at least five Secondary V courses • You are registered for all program requirements unless otherwise specified (see tables on pages 63 to 67) • You will have the minimum average required • You meet any language requirements (please refer to page 49 for additional details on the language requirements)

Please note that the requirements listed in the tables on pages 63 to 67, are minimum requirements only and are subject to change. The minimum admission averages are based on 2015 admission requirements and are provided as an example only; admission averages for 2016 have not yet been determined. This means that meeting these minimum admission averages does not guarantee admission. The averages are based on the program, the language of instruction and the number of places available in the program. The University of Ottawa reserves the right to change the minimum admission averages without prior notice.

STUDENT LIFE

A CAMPUS LIFESTYLE

THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS

The Rideau Canal, which runs adjacent to the main campus, is used for loads of activities all year round.

No matter what you’re into, the University of Ottawa can help you make the most of the time you spend on campus. We work to make your life more pleasant and to create a home with plenty of opportunities to develop your talents, whether through sports, social or cultural activities.

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

SPORTS ACTIVITIES

Join a club (or start one!), student association or sport team, or take part in one of our many other activities to make your stay with us a positive and memorable experience.

At the University of Ottawa, everybody is a Gee-Gee. It’s not just about sheer athletic talent—it has to do with showing spirit, both on and off the field. Join a team, cheer at our games, go for a swim or get active in one of our fitness classes. All students enjoy free access to sports facilities!

See page 73 for the Student Federation and Community Life Service websites, where you will find a list of clubs and activities.

ORIGIN OF THE GEE-GEES NAME Varsity teams are often referred to by their team colours. The University of Ottawa’s traditional colours have long been garnet and grey—or G-G. And since a Gee-Gee is also the lead horse in a race, we adopted a horse adorned by two G’s as the official logo, to represent speed, determination and spirit—the benchmark qualities of our teams.

HOUSING

A CAMPUS LIFESTYLE

THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS

RESIDENCE STYLES FOR ALL TASTES! Residence life has many advantages—you can make friends and develop life skills, get involved in activities and have access to programs and resources such as community advisors, in-house counsellors, study groups and workshops. In addition, you have access to reception and protection services, every day, 24 hours a day. Living in residence means living in a secure environment, minutes away from the places where you learn, work and play! For more on how to reach the Housing Service see page 73. GUARANTEED HOUSING* You are guaranteed a place in residence for the 2016–2017 academic year if you are admitted by May 16, 2016 (except for students who have completed five university courses) and you have indicated that you wish to apply for a place in residence on your Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) form. See page 48 for details. * Restrictions may apply.
