Individual student programs of study must meet the requirements of both the home graduate unit and the collaborative specialization. Normally, a careful selection of cross-listed courses will satisfy this requirement without any additional course load.
Course requirements are as follows:
0.5 full-course equivalent (FCE) required introduction: CIE 1001HÂ Introduction to Comparative, International and Development Education. CIE 1001H must be taken in Year 1 of the full-time student’s academic course load, or within the first four courses of the part-time and flexible-time student’s academic work.
0.5 core FCE CIDE core graduate course.
1.0 FCE (equivalent to two half courses) other CIDE core or elective graduate courses.
Regular participation in and attendance at the CIDE Seminar Series. Participation at a minimum of five seminars is required; some may be attended live online.
Students who write a thesis or major research paper as part of their program are also required to make at least one presentation to the CIDE community related to their research/development work either at The Joseph P. Farrell Student Research Symposium (JPFSRS) or at a CIDE seminar. Please email cidec.oise@utoronto.ca to arrange for a CIDE Seminar presentation at least six months before your intended graduation.Â
In master’s programs requiring a major research paper or a thesis, the topic must relate to and demonstrate a masters-level understanding of the research/ theory base of CIDE. Participating CIDE faculty and the home graduate unit must be represented on the thesis committee.
