Co-operative Program in Theatre Arts
The Redeemer University College Co-operative Program in Theatre Arts
consists of one four-month (640-hour) work term of either paid or unpaid
employment in a professional theatre, approved by the university and
supervised and evaluated by both the employer and the institution. Co-op
work is usually related to administration, marketing, or an area of technical
theatre. The Co-op Program is intended to provide relevant job experience
which will enhance learning from subsequent course work and improve
future job prospects. Students should not expect to find placements only
in the Greater Hamilton region and should be prepared to re-locate or
commute for this opportunity.
Admission to the Co-operative
Program in Theatre Arts
During year three or four, a student may apply for admission to the Coop
Program by writing a letter of intent to the head of the Theatre Arts
Department and submitting an application to the Co-op Program when
applications are released in the fall. Students will only be considered
for the Co-op Program if they have been previously admitted to a
major in the Theatre Arts Department. Students should indicate their
interest in the Co-op Program when they apply to the university and
again when applying to the Theatre Arts program during their first year.
Applications must be accompanied with a $50 application fee by the
posted deadline. For more information on Co-op fees see page 23.
Criteria for Admission
Year three or four standing in a Theatre Arts major is required. A
cumulative GPA and a departmental GPA of 7.00 is required although
the Co-op Committee may permit an exception. Acceptance into the
program is at the discretion of the Co-op Committee and is not solely
dependent on grades; attendance at workshops and an interview
contribute to the final decision.
Work Term
The work term normally occurs during one of the three terms of the
academic year (summer, fall, winter) and involves 40-48 hours per
week. No guarantee can be given that relevant placements can be
found for all Co-op students. Employers will interview the available
Co-op students, select students and determine remuneration. No course
credit will be granted for the work term. Successful completion will,
however, be recorded on the student’s transcript.
Programs in Science
Students who wish to receive undergraduate university training
in one of the disciplines in the sciences take the four-year general
sciences program. Students may apply to a four-year major, honours
or combined honours program during their second year of study.
General majors are offered in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science,
Computer Science and Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics,
Environmental Studies, Horticultural Science (with Ridgetown College
or the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture), Physical Sciences,
Mathematics and Mathematics and Physics. Four-year majors are
offered in Biology, Computer Science, Computer Science and
Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Physical Sciences, Mathematics,
and Mathematics and Physics. Honours majors are available in
Biology, Health Sciences, Horticulture (with Ridgetown College or the
Niagara Parks School of Horticulture), Kinesiology, Mathematics, and
Mathematics and Physics.
Admission to General Programs in Science
In the winter term of year one, a student may apply for admission to a
specific program, major and/or minor(s). Students can proceed toward
a degree only if they are admitted to a program, major, and/or minor(s).
Applications are made available by the Registrar’s Office during advising
appointments.
Criteria for Admission
To be admitted to any program and major, students must have the
following requirements: (1) completed at least four courses (minimum
of 12 credits) and be registered for at least another four courses during
the winter term; (2) achieved a cumulative grade point average (GPA)
of 4.00 (C-) and a departmental GPA of 4.00; and (3) completed the
appropriate prerequisite courses with an average of 4.00.
Criteria for Graduation
To meet graduation requirements, students must have the following:
(1) a cumulative GPA of 4.00; (2) a departmental GPA in any major(s)
and minor(s) of 4.00; and (3) have completed all core, major and minor
requirements and a minimum of 40 courses (120 credits).
