Could this Purple cell BU? — B U T W H AT E X A C T LY D O E S T H AT M E A N ? — À l’Université Bishop’s, nous avons le sang mauve #bleedpurple. Qu’est-ce que ça signifie? The truth is, it can’t be defined by one word or phrase. You have to experience our campus to truly understand why so many people – students, alumni, faculty and staff – say they bleed purple. It’s the feeling of community and pride students get when they set foot on our campus. It’s the welcoming smile on the faces of the people you meet It’s the purpose with which our professors teach and build relationships with our students. It’s the embrace of a small and tight-knit community you’ll never forget. It’s the idyllic charm of our campus architecture and surroundings. It’s all this and so much more. En fait, un seul mot ou une simple expression ne suffit pas pour exprimer le concept. Vous devez connaître la vie sur le campus pour comprendre pourquoi les étudiants, les anciens, les professeurs et les employés sont si nombreux à affirmer avoir le sang mauve. C’est le sentiment d’appartenance à la communauté et la fierté que ressentent les étudiants lorsqu’ils arrivent sur le campus. C’est le sourire accueillant des gens que vous croisez. C’est la sincérité avec laquelle les professeurs enseignent et forment des relations avec les étudiants. C’est le caractère enveloppant d’une petite communauté bien soudée qui reste imprimée dans les mémoires. C’est le charme idyllique que dégage l’architecture du campus et des environs. C’est tout ça, et bien plus encore. Being Purple instills a pride in each one of us no matter what we do, no matter where we are, and no matter how long ago we graduated. It’s also why our alumni are so fiercely attached to our school and why so many of our students are actively engaged in every aspect of campus life – academics, experiential learning, student government, the arts, entrepreneurship, community involvement, athletics and more. Purple simply flows through our veins. #BleedPurple is not just a hashtag, it’s a lifestyle. An experience that sets us apart from every other university community.

BU. 2 Viewbook 2015-2016 Être mauve inspire la fierté, quels que soient nos activités, notre lieu de résidence et l’année d’obtention de notre diplôme.

Le mauve nous coule tout simplement dans les veines. #bleedpurple n’est pas qu’un simple mot-clic, mais bien un mode de vie, une expérience qui nourrit la tête, le corps et l’esprit et qui nous distingue de toutes les autres communautés universitaires. Bishop’s est un établissement unique au Canada. Nous avons la mission d’offrir la meilleure formation de premier cycle à nos étudiants.

Purple blood flows through our veins.” Bishop’s has one of the most diverse campuses in the country, so there is no “typical” Bishop’s student. But all Bishop’s students would say that at least one of the following statements applies to them: You want to be remembered by your name. You flourish in small, intimate environments. You don’t feel the need to conform. You are curious and inquisitive. You love to learn and are eager to expand your intellectual horizons. You love to meet new peo- Geoff Molson, CEO and President, NHL Montreal Canadiens ple, visit new places and gain new perspectives. You are aware of self, community and the greater good. You’re eager to start something – a club, a campaign, an entrepreneurial venture, a journey, etc. You want to feel like you belong. We expect our students to be engaged in the academic and social life of our university, respectful of others and of self, open-minded and socially aware.

Que faire si votre anglais est rouillé ou pas parfait ? « Il n’y a pas de meilleure façon d’apprendre une langue que l’immersion.

Bishop’s University 15 The freedom to explore and discover. The power to change the world “Employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively and communicate easily.” “Critics of the Liberal Arts Are Wrong’’, Annette Gordon-Reed, Time Magazine, June 19, 2013 “A liberal arts education emphasizes forming independent judgments, articulating cogent arguments and developing the tools and taste for continued, lifelong learning. We live in a world where our graduates will be employed in roles that don’t even exist today. This kind of learning is more practical than training in a specific skill that may well be obsolete almost upon graduation.” “Debunking The Myths of a Liberal Arts Education’’, S. Georgia Nugent, Huffington Post Updated: November 1, 2014 “The world needs leaders who can handle complexity and give diverse perspectives on the challenges we all face…it is those with backgrounds that enable them to draw from multiple cultural reference points…who have tended to succeed and reach positions of leadership.” “Social Science Produce Leaders’’, Scott Jaschik, Inside Higher Education, June 1, 2015 ‘‘There are profound experiences in all educational settings and individual student effort trumps all, but year after year, data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) demonstrate that liberal arts colleges more deeply engage their students than any other sector.’’ “The Gold Standard: The Powerful Impact of Residential Liberal Arts Colleges’’, L.

Everything you will find here is meant to help you succeed. Our faculty and staff are some of most dedicated you will find anywhere. Our small classes encourage engagement and discussion with professors and fellow students. Our liberal education model provides the blueprint for critical thinking, problem solving and a host of other qualities that employers are seeking. It is all of these elements and more that make Bishop’s a truly extraordinary learning environment. The high quality of education we offer both inside and outside the classroom has been recognized by Globe & Mail University Report Card, Maclean’s University Rankings, and the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), who consistently rank Bishop’s among the best universities in Canada in our category and for having a safe and nurturing environment. Our professors are known for igniting a passion for learning in our students. In turn, our students are moved to lead and innovate. So perhaps it’s no surprise that Bishop’s was one of only three Canadian universities to have both a 3M National Teaching Fellowship award recipient and a 3M National Student Fellowship award recipient in 2015. These are two of the highest educational awards available in the country and they proudly recognize the accomplishments of our fellow Gaiters. #PurplePride #UBishops (2013) Top 5 in: Jason Earl, Milton, Ontario Social Sciences and Secondary Education 3M National Student Fellowship One of Canada’s highest honours for university students Student-Faculty Interaction Level of Academic Challenge Enriching Educational Experience 20 Viewbook 2015-2016 Photo : Krystel V.

We covered a lot of ground during the four-day program: gathering data, collaborative inquiry, reflective practice, creating a safe environment and providing leadership skills. We received very positive feedback.” - TEACHING EXCELLENCE - Dr. Marie-Josée Berger, Dean of the School of Education and Associate Vice-Principal Continuing Education, was born in Haiti, so when a national educational consortium invited universities to bid for the chance to share their expertise with the country’s educational leaders, she garnered the support of Bishop’s colleagues and jumped at the opportunity. “The country was looking for a way to support the principals at the preschool, elementary and secondary levels. Haiti needs educational leaders who can help rebuild,” says Dr. Berger. “COSPE (Consortium des organisations privées de l’éducation) represents 1,700 schools in Haiti, so I am very excited and proud that we were chosen to lead the Summer Leadership Institute last summer.” 24 Viewbook 2015-2016 Under the theme “La parole aux directions d’écoles haïtiennes’’, the Summer Leadership Institute offered participants a professional training program on academic leadership and general management so that every school in Haiti becomes a success story despite the continuing precarious situation. “Our team in Continuing Education organized the program in a very short period of time,” recalls Dr. Berger. “We were there to listen to these leaders and support them through their own language and their own context.” With this initiative, Bishop’s has proven its leadership role in education. #PurplePride Photo : Krystel V.

You won’t want to miss these leaders and role models sharing their hard-earned lessons about leadership, creativity, innovation, perseverance, success, and failure. These lectures are free of charge to our students thanks to the generous support of Bishop’s alumnus John Donald ‘60, DCL ‘12, who recently made a gift of $3 million to establish the series in perpetuity. 26 Viewbook 2015-2016 Elizabeth May Philosophy, music and passion - TEACHING EXCELLENCE Dr. Jamie Crooks Philosophy professor Music lover 2015 William and Nancy Turner Teaching Award recipient Moncton, New Brunswick “The Donald Lecture Series was that missing, seamless link between our classes and the rest of the world. It bridged that gap, so that we could put down our textbooks to hear from doctors in disaster zones, leading thinkers on the future of our cities, and leaders in politics and business. And when we opened our textbooks again, it was with new, rich insights. Most importantly, it brought us closer as a Bishop’s community. It taught us to apply what we had learned, and to consider the world beyond the classroom. In that way, it is entirely true to the Bishop’s experience.” – Mark Lawson ’09, Past SRC President 2015 is a special year for Dr. Jamie Crooks: not only is he marking 25 years of teaching philosophy at Bishop’s, he is also the recipient of the William and Nancy Turner Teaching Award, the highest award Bishop’s bestows to a professor each year at Convocation. Dr. Crooks is a fixture at Bishop’s. In addition to his exceptional career in the philosophy department, he has also directed the Bishop’s University Singers Choir for 15 years. In fact, he still sings in the choir today. “One of the interesting things at Bishop’s is that you can do all kinds of things. At no other place could I have conducted the university choir,’’ he says. Bishop’s is famous for its small classes which foster close connections between professors and students. Dr. Crooks feels that he has gained as much from his students over the years as they have from him. ‘‘We’re all on a journey. We’re all trying to discover the deep structure of the world. We have all felt the joy of sorting something out; we have all those fundamental human things in common. In a certain way, age makes no difference at all,’’ he says. Despite his accomplishments as an academic, choir conductor and singer, Dr. Crooks is determined to go even further as a lifelong learner. “I always want to learn new things,” he says. “I would like to teach every course in the calendar in the philosophy department. I would like to get better in languages. The thing about a university is that you never have to stop learning. We can take courses or we can just enter worlds that would be closed to us otherwise.’’ Bishop’s University 27 Tirza Harris is fascinated by the Roman Empire and the ancient world. Thanks to the B.E.S.T. Projects Fund, she is able to take what she’s learned in her Classical Studies program and expand on it. “With this project, I hope to understand the artists’ perspective. There was so much hard work and dedication put into these works of art, hours and hours of skilled handiwork,’’ she explains. - UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS - “I feel that students need the interplay of both the inclass and out-of-class experience to further enhance their academic development,” she says. “B.E.S.T. allows you to expand yourself, your perspectives, your mentality, and your understanding of things. I feel very grateful for this unique opportunity.’’ ‘‘It’s amazing that Bishop’s has something like the B.E.S.T Projects Fund. It’s given me a one-of-a-kind experience that I wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else.’’ B.E.S.T. Projects Fund B.E.S.T. is one of the premiere experiential learning opportunities at Bishop’s University. In 2010, a Bishop’s graduate made a commitment to establish this opportunity fund at the university and students have been making the most of it ever since. This unique possibility is meant to assist students in exploring career paths and realizing their passions. It also gives the student the chance to enhance their learning outside the classroom. These opportunity funds are awarded to students whom the Selection Committee believes have the potential for significant achievement and impact once they graduate from Bishop’s. Do you have an ambition or passion that you would like to make come true? We encourage you to be one of our B.E.S.T.! S.E.E.D. Portfolio 28 Viewbook 2015-2016 Photo : Krystel V.

We’re very proud of the fact that our students display such a high level of engagement within their community, which is why we offer a unique and innovative program that rewards their efforts for getting involved. A L.E.A.P. towards your success It’s called L.E.A.P. – Leadership and Extracurricular Activity Profile.

Activities recognized by the program include: Leadership positions On-campus work experience Samantha Stewart Psychology and Fine Arts Halifax, Nova Scotia (resident assistants, peer tutors, student ambassadors, research assistants, etc.) Professional or educational development (participation in work- shops, seminars, conferences, etc.) Extracurricular activities and university committees (sports teams, student clubs, Golden Key International Honour Society, etc.) Volunteer experience and community service Tyler Pierotti Double major in Health Sciences and Pre-med, minor in Psychology Montreal, Quebec Viewbook 2015-2016 Enrolment in the L.E.A.P. program is optional, but so many of our students realize it’s a fantastic way to develop personal and professional skills and get recognition for it.

I don’t think I could have done this anywhere else; the interdisciplinary nature of this fits perfectly with the liberal education model here at Bishop’s.” Dr. Wood sees many similarities between his role as an academic and the brewmaster. “Professors, like brewmasters, are craftspeople who gather together raw materials and create conditions that encourage transformative processes – with sometimes ineffable results…the light bulb moments in our students when they finally combine their preparation, hard work, and learning with a touch of magic and a flash of insight to make sense of the world around them in a new way,” Photo : Krystel V. Morin Chemistry professor Dale Wood has inspired students from various disciplines to enter his lab and study the science of brewing. Over the years, his individual course offering has grown into what will become Eastern Canada’s first academic brewery, opening in Fall 2015. “We encourage our students to explore and make sure their ideas are known; I think that’s the reason this kind of project can work so well. I’m not isolated in a building on campus that’s spread out across an entire city; I’m exposed to the entire community. That is liberal education; it’s as much about the profs learning as the students. I can’t imagine being anywhere else.” Bishop’s University 33 Montreal USA Chicago Fredericton Halifax Mexico Los Angeles Norway Sweden Finland England Denmark Lithuania Netherlands Ireland London Germany Belgium ParisGeneva Hungary France Switzerland Italy Spain Malta Korea Canada Calgary Vancouver Travel, study, explore, and leave your Purple mark China Beijing — STUDY ABROAD AND EXCHANGE PROGRAMS — Japan Immerse yourself in another culture.

Programs that do not appear in the tables have no specific CEGEP course pre-requisites. — MINIMUM ESTIMATED ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS — Submitting Documents Program-Specific Requirements INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PSYCHOLOGY (BA) • • • *depending upon grades obtained in specific courses 56 Viewbook 2015-2016 Bishop’s University 57 General Admissions Information College programs and University Transfer Requirements Students that have studied at a college, university or other post-secondary institution must supply final official high school transcripts as well as all post-secondary transcripts and results. Students must be in good standing (both academically and social conduct) and have an overall cumulative average equivalent to 65% (Division specific requirements may apply). Completed courses deemed to be at a university level with a mark of “C” or higher will be considered for advanced standing credit, up to a maximum of 60 credits (two full years). For college students, only those who have completed an academic diploma or are in a university transfer program at a North American institution may be eligible to receive advanced standing credit, depending upon college program completed and university program applied to. Normally, no credit is awarded for incomplete college diploma programs. In addition to transcripts, students must also provide course outlines or syllabi. L’information suivante sera très utile aux étudiants des cégeps qui font une demande à l’Université Bishop’s. Aucun cours préalable n’est exigé pour être admis. Avec un DEC et une bonne cote R, les étudiants seront acceptés dans le programme de leur choix. Ils pourront suivre le tronc commun, mais dans certains programmes et certains cours (administration, sciences, mathématiques, économie et psychologie), il est fortement recommandé d’avoir réussi certains cours de mathématiques, tels que Calcul différentiel I et Algèbre linéaire. Les étudiants du Québec n’ont pas besoin de réussir de test de compétences linguistiques en anglais. Pour appuyer leur transition en anglais, Bishop’s permet aux étudiants francophones de rédiger leurs examens en français, au besoin, et leur offre un soutien à la rédaction. Ainsi, Bishop’s donne aux étudiants francophones l’occasion idéale d’améliorer leur anglais sans risque, dans un milieu bilingue. Les étudiants du cégep doivent fournir leur code permanent. Les étudiants issus d’un collège, d’une université ou d’un autre établissement postsecondaire doivent remettre leur relevé de notes d’études secondaires complet et officiel et l’ensemble de leurs relevés et résultats d’études postsecondaires. Ils doivent posséder une bonne réputation (tant sur le plan scolaire que social) et posséder une moyenne cumulative de 65 % (des exigences peuvent s’appliquer à certains programmes). Les cours de niveau universitaire réussis avec une note minimale de « C » pourraient donner droit à des équivalences, jusqu’à concurrence de 60 crédits (deux années complètes). Seuls les étudiants qui ont obtenu un diplôme dans un collège nord-américain peuvent être admissibles à recevoir de telles équivalences, compte tenu du programme collégial terminé et du programme universitaire visé. En temps normal, aucun crédit n’est accordé pour les diplômes collégiaux incomplets. En plus des relevés, les étudiants doivent remettre le plan ou le sommaire de leurs cours. 58 Viewbook 2015-2016 International Baccalaureate (IB) Curriculum: Students studying an IB curriculum must supply predicted or anticipated IB results.

Please note that we do not require IB students to supply SAT or ACT scores. We are looking for academically strong and well-rounded students with minimum IB diploma scores of 26 points (not including bonus) for general entry to our university. IB Diploma students with a score of 28 or higher will automatically receive a maximum of 30 credits (one full year) and have the option of accepting or rejecting credit as they see fit.

Please note that IB students not completing the IB Diploma must present proof of high school graduation. IB Career Certificate students will not be considered for admission without an alternate high school academic program and proof of high school graduation. Les étudiants à l’IB doivent remettre leurs résultats présumés ou anticipés, y compris les points supplémentaires pour le programme créativité, action, service (CAS), le programme de théorie de la connaissance et le mémoire. Bien qu’ils n’y soient pas obligés, ils peuvent remettre de l’information complémentaire, telles des recommandations des enseignants ou une déclaration personnelle, pour faciliter l’analyse de leur demande. Les étudiants issus de l’IB ne sont PAS tenus de présenter leurs résultats au SAT ou à l’ACT. Nous recherchons des étudiants polyvalents qui ont un bon rendement scolaire et des résultats minimaux de 26 points au diplôme de l’IB (sans compter les points supplémentaires). S’ils ont des résultats de 28 ou plus, ils recevront automatiquement jusqu’à concurrence de 30 crédits (une année complète), dont ils pourront se prévaloir ou non, à leur guise.

Pour obtenir une liste de ces partenaires et plus d’information, consultez la zone English Language School Pathway Students à l’onglet Future Students du site www.ubishops.ca French Baccalaureate Curriculum: CAQ and Study Permit Requirements International students admitted to Bishop’s University must obtain a study permit (often referred to as a student VISA) prior to arriving at Bishop’s. Once students obtain their conditional or final letter of admission they can begin the application procedure. The first step is to complete a CAQ (Certificate of Acceptance) application with the Quebec government (www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en and click on Foreign Students). Once this permit has been approved students can then apply for a Canadian study permit (www.cic.gc.ca). It is important to note that the process can take anywhere from 4-16 weeks to complete so we encourage students to complete their application for admissions early to avoid any delays. Les étudiants internationaux admis à l’Université Bishop’s doivent obtenir un permis d’études (souvent désigné par le terme visa étudiant) avant leur arrivée. Dès qu’ils reçoivent leur lettre d’admission conditionnelle ou définitive, ils peuvent entreprendre le processus de demande. Ils doivent d’abord faire une demande de CAQ (certificat d’acceptation) auprès du gouvernement du Québec (cliquer sur Étudiants étrangers dans le site www.immigration-quebec.gouv. qc.ca/fr). Après avoir reçu ce certificat, ils peuvent faire une demande de permis d’études au Canada (www.cic.gc.ca). Puisque ce processus peut prendre de quatre à 16 semaines, les étudiants sont invités à remplir leur demande rapidement afin d’éviter les retards. Study and Work in Canada Immigration policies for students who complete their university education in Canada are amongst the most marketable and sought-after in the world. During their studies international students with valid study permits can work off campus a maximum of 20 hours per week and full time during holidays and summer months anywhere in Canada.
