Your Career
The Bachelor of Applied Technology (Flight Program) is structured to meet shortcomings in training noted
by industry and to position graduates to compete on the global aviation scene. Primary employment
opportunities will occur as professional pilots first in the third tier and regional air carriers with
progression to corporate aviation, large scale charter companies and major airlines. The breadth and
depth of the program will also permit graduates to excel in such areas as government regulatory agencies,
airport authorities, flight test and evaluation, aircraft manufacture and marketing, and the aviation
insurance industry.
Program Code: FPR
Campus: Newnham/ Buttonville
Credential Awarded: Applied Degree
Duration: 8 academic semesters plus 2 intensive
flight training semesters (4 Years)
Start Dates: Fall
Start dates are subject to change
In addition to traditional technological and manipulative
competencies, the aviation industry is increasingly
focussing on the requirement for management
skills, interpersonal relationship skills in the form of
understanding crew resource management abilities
and the understanding of human factors. The
Bachelor of Applied Technology (Flight Program) is
ideally positioned to meet the future requirements
of the Canadian and global aerospace industry by
graduating technically competent future managers
and leaders.
The scope, complexity, and responsibility of available
employment options will increase with experience,
with eventual progression to management ranks.
Opportunities for further study include masters
programs at various Canadian universities as well
as the large number of US institutions with aviation
programs.

Program Description
Seneca College has been a national leader in
the field of aviation education for more than
30 years. Increasingly, airlines have shown
a preference for hiring individuals who
have completed a degree program. With the
exception of the Seneca College degree
program in Flight, there are no aviation
technology-based degree programs offered
in the Province of Ontario.
The Bachelor of Applied Technology (Flight
Program) provides a rigorous technologybased curriculum and the application of the
theory of aviation technology. The breadth
of knowledge and skills allows graduates to
operate safely in a highly complex machine,
to understand the technologies and the
human factors that affect the successful
operation of an aircraft and to assume the
professional responsibility associated with
being a commercial pilot.
Business theory, airport operations and
planning, and air carrier administration
courses and practice provide a "larger
sense" of the aviation industry and will
allow students to access a greater variety of
careers in the industry.
Program Outcomes:
Graduates of the Bachelor of Applied
Technology (Flight Program) will be able to:
1. Independently fly and safely operate
multi-engine airplanes.
2. Demonstrate a comprehensive
understanding and the appropriate
application of aerospace principles, airplane
design, airplane characteristics, operational
limitations, aerodynamic principals and
airplane properties for a variety of airplanes
and designs.
3. Conduct themselves professionally and
ethically and promote a professional
pilot image.
4. Be confident with automation, complex
equipment and technically challenging
systems and with the verification of status,
level and programming of automated
systems.
5. Maintain safe operating conditions for all
geographical areas and flying conditions.
6. Communicate effectively and concisely
ideas, directions, and operations, in
written and oral communications.
Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering Technology

Promotion Policy
The Post Secondary Education Quality
Assessment Board has mandated promotion
and graduation requirements for all applied
degree programs. Students in the Flight
Program must achieve a minimum grade of
B in courses within the professional field of
study and a minimum C+ grade in all other
courses in order to be promoted in the
program. Graduation requirements are the
same as promotion requirements. Students
who do not meet the promotion requirements
will be offered advisement and redirection as

Testimonials
"In this age of globalization, the aviation industry is
a major player. Airlines are also looking for a good
educational background for pilot hiring as modern
aircraft and crew need to be managed well for a
safe flight. It is no longer sufficient to be able to
fly the aircraft well. Your proposed degree syllabus
appears to address many of the challenges the
new pilots will be facing. They will have a solid
knowledge of the complex components they will be
operating and also the principles governing all
phases of the operation. I congratulate you and
Seneca College for making this farsighted proposal
and wish you success in your enterprise."
Manzur Huq
Director, General Aviation
Transport Canada
Co-operative Education
Students in the Flight Program are required
to participate in a paid full time consecutive
co-operative education work experience:
One successful (as indicated by the learning
outcomes for co-operative education work
terms) work term of 14 weeks is required
for graduation. This work term may be taken
during Term 3 of either Year 2 or Year 3.
Flight Training
Intensive flight training and simulator
experience is an integral part of this rigorous
degree program. Two semesters of intensive
flight training and simulator experience (in
addition to the flight training that occurs
during Terms 1 and 2 of Years 2, 3 and 4) is
a required component of the program.
Intensive training will occur during Term 3
of Year 1 and Term 3 of either Year 2 or Year
3. Students who are unable to achieve a
satisfactory rating in their flight training will
be withdrawn from the FPR program and
will be ineligible for re-admission.
School of Aviation and Flight Technology
"Collegiate aviation is now the primary source of
pilots to serve the commercial aviation industry.
The need for these pilots is going to remain
extremely high for the foreseeable future."
Mavis F. Green, PhD
President
University Aviation Association
"We are very conscious of the change in aviation
training within the North American context. Our
counterparts within the USA industry have been
strong supporters of a comprehensive aviation
degree. We are of the same mind and congratulate
you for considering a similar aviation degree within
Canada."

Co-operative Education Option
Transfer Options
Curriculum
Co-operative education is an important
partnership involving the Student, the
Employer and the College. Following the
fourth academic semester students begin to
integrate their academic study with practical
work experience in industrial, governmental
and university laboratories. The experience
students gain during their work-placement
semesters provides considerable reinforcement
to their overall studies and is a means whereby
employers may “sample” our students for
potential permanent employment.
York/Seneca BSc (Tech) Degree in Applied
Biotechnology
Semester 1
As part of the graduation requirements,
students must successfully complete the
professional theory and practice subjects,
and two out-of-the three available work-term
semesters. Students in this option must
achieve a high academic standing (G.P.A.
3.0) in each semester while maintaining a
full course load (5 subjects) as well as fulfill
other responsibilities in order to continue in
the program or qualify for the work semesters.
A “Policies and Guidelines for Students”
document, that elaborates on this cautionary
note, is available from the School or the
Faculty of Technology Co-operative
Education office.
Admission to the Co-operative Education
program is by application during the third
academic semester. Note that a minimum
G.P.A. of 3.0 (cumulative from semesters 1
and 2) as well as a minimum “B” grade in
EAC 150 is required to apply, but does not
necessarily guarantee entry into the cooperative education option. As part of the
selection process the Promotion Committee
will play a key role in assessing the suitability
of students to participate in co-operative
education.

Professional Options
Specializing in Retail Management will prepare the graduate for a career in retail or
related fields. Developing a general
understanding of the retail business, as
well as more detailed study of the key
industry disciplines will provide a solid basic
knowledge applicable to various retail
formats. Buying, promotion, finance, technology, as well as store operations will be
some of the key focus areas for hands on
study.
“As a growing organization, we’re always looking
for people with the right retail skills. It’s not only
important for us to hire people who love music; we
want people who love retail. Those who go to
school to learn it clearly demonstrate the dedication
we want in our stores. We expect students
graduating from Seneca’s Retail Management program will be on the right track.”

Co-operative Education Option
Co-operative education is an important
partnership involving the Student, the
Employer and the College. Following the
third academic semester students begin to
integrate their academic study with practical
work experience in industrial, governmental
and university laboratories. The experience
students gain during their work-placement
semesters provides considerable reinforcement
to their overall studies and is a means whereby
employers may “sample” our students for
potential permanent employment.
As part of the graduation requirements
students must successfully complete the
professional theory and practice subjects
and two out-of-the three available work-term
semesters. Students in this option must
achieve a high academic standing (3.0 G.P.A.)
in each semester while maintaining a full
course load (5 subjects) as well as fulfill

Program Description
This program provides specific training in
pharmaceutical analysis, product formulation
and manufacturing, microbiology and
toxicology. The practical training provides
the student with ‘hands on’ experience
necessary to perform assays and
determinations with the required speed,
precision, and accuracy expected in the
pharmaceutical industry.
This program is delivered in both the cooperative education option (CLPC) and in
the non co-operative education mode (CLP).
With respect to the academic work in the
two options, the sequence, time of delivery
and scope of the academic semesters is the
same (excluding professional theory and
practice subjects required by the co-operative
education students).
All students in this program follow the
integrated model shown under “Co-operative
Education Option”. Students in the non-co-op
mode (CLP) will be “on vacation” when co-op
students are on work term.
Student academic progress in this program
will be monitored over the first two semesters.
Since the number of seats at the third
semester level is limited, students who fail
to maintain a semester grade point average
of at least 2.5 during their first year and
subsequent semesters will be transferred to
an alternate program within the School of
Biological Sciences and Applied Chemistry.
Common First Year
In the School of Biological Sciences and
Applied Chemistry, the Technician (2 year)
and Technologist (3 year) programs have a
common first year, that is, Semester 1 and

Co-operative Education Option
Co-operative education is an important
partnership involving the Student, the
Employer and the College. Following the
third academic semester students begin to
integrate their academic study with practical
work experience in industrial, governmental
and university laboratories. The experience
students gain during their work-placement
semesters provides considerable reinforcement to their overall studies and is a means
whereby employers may “sample” our
students for potential permanent employment.
As part of the graduation requirements
students must successfully complete the
professional theory and practice subjects
and two out-of-the three available work-term
semesters. Students in this option must
achieve a high academic standing (3.0 G.P.A.)
in each semester while maintaining a full
course load (5 subjects) as well as fulfill
other responsibilities in order to continue in
the program or qualify for the work semesters.
A “Policies and Guidelines for Students”
document, that elaborates on this cautionary
note, is available from the School or the
Faculty of Technology Co-operative
Education office.
Admission to the Co-operative Education
program is by application during the second
academic semester. Note that a minimum
G.P.A. of 3.0 (cumulative from semesters 1
and 2) as well as a minimum “B” grade in
EAC 150 is required to apply, but does not
necessarily guarantee entry into the cooperative education option. As part of the
selection process the Promotion Committee
will play a key role in assessing the suitability
of students to participate in co-operative
education.

Civil Engineering Technology is one of civilization’s classic professions. Seneca’s
renowned Civil Engineering Technology program prepares graduates to be dynamic
participants in the design and creation of
our built environment ranging from the
metropolitan infrastructure of bridges, airports
and harbours to the neighbourhood design
of water supply systems, sewage disposal,
and residential layout, and areas such as
water management, the resource issue of
the 21st century.
The building blocks of each student’s future
employment are contained in the program
content including: advanced computer
software packages (AutoCAD); new developments in highway design (Land Desktop);
Geographic Information Systems (GIS);
municipal and building design; environmental
assessment; construction inspection,
supervision and management; and field
skills in surveying as well as soils and
materials testing.
Both the Civil Engineering Technology
Program and the Technician Program offer
an optional Co-operative Education
Program. Students completing Semester 1
with passing grades in all subjects, and
meeting appropriate GPA requirements, are
eligible to apply.
The student enrolling in the program in
Semester 2 is able to access, through the
CPP 100 subject and co-op facilities, valuable
services to facilitate placement opportunities.
The program consists of one work term
from MAY – SEPTEMBER, providing a
wealth of valuable course related
experience, employer contacts and greater
opportunities for permanent placement after
graduation.

for both print and broadcast. Attention is
paid to the principles of advertising as they
are applied across a broad spectrum of
disciplines within the expanding field of
advertising and marketing communications.
Particular emphasis is placed on creative
concept development and the writing of
persuasive advertising copy.
In the first year students will gain understanding
of the foundations of creative advertising,
and develop the skills necessary to apply
the principles of effective communication.
In the second year they will plan and produce
all aspects of complete advertising campaigns
from business plan through to final creative
execution.
The final semester will enable students to
apply to a career oriented “stream” - with
the opportunity to specialize in creative
development or business management. In
addition, students will participate in a selfdirected learning practicum, which may
include field placement or pre-approved
independent projects and workshops.
This program is recommended for students
who are interested in the co-ordination and
creation of effective advertising and marketing
communications. The advertising industry is
an exciting fast-paced environment.
Successful people in this field need a strong
imagination and superior writing and interpersonal skills.

corporate communications firms, advertising
sales and related fields.

Testimonial
“My studies at Seneca College in the Fashion
Merchandising and Retail Management program
provided a launching pad for the career success I
enjoy today. The industry-trained professors utilize
their experience and networking abilities to the
utmost and offered students the opportunity to see
the light at the end of
the tunnel. Through
various field trips and
guest lectures, I was
able to develop my own
‘contacts’ before having
to step into the competitive job market. Furthermore, field placement was
a great door opener and provided me with my first
job in wholesale fashion.”

opportunities to take part in field visits to
transport companies, customs brokers and

domestically and internationally.
Upon completion of this program, students

“I chose Seneca because it has a great reputation.
The International Transportation and Customs
program teaches how customs, habits and languages
around the world affect international trade in
different regions. I think the program widened my
view of the world and I really see the concept of a
Global Village now. Before graduating, I worked as
a Commercial Officer at the Consulate General of
Brazil in the Trade and Tourism office in Toronto.
Working full time while fulfilling the program
requirements at Seneca was challenging. The
competition for the job included 30 people. With
an interest in international trade and a professional
attitude, you can succeed in this field. It can be
competitive, but focussing on your pursuit will help
you achieve your goals.”

“I feel that the decision to attend Seneca College
was one of the smartest I have made in my life.
While attending the LIT program I received the
knowledge that I needed to succeed in my life and
in my chosen career. The professors were highly
knowledgeable and I believe I would be hard-pressed
to find faculty at another institution who could
have done a better job of preparing me for the
future. Their post graduation support was excellent.
I would highly recommend Seneca College to those
who are interested in a career in the library field.

• A questionnaire and testing may be
administered to applicants during a
College orientation session.
• Applicant grades in pre-requisite subjects

2005 / 2006 Full Time Program Calendar
This program provides intensive classroom
instruction in theoretical and nursing practice.
In addition, the curriculum includes a solid
foundation in human anatomy and physiology,
and complementary subjects in general
education, as well as a minimum of 1,700
hours of clinical experience.
Areas of study include nursing theory, the
nurse as professional person, nursing
practice, professional issues, human
anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology,
sociology, English and General Education.
Experience in the nursing practice laboratory
and in several hospital and community
settings is integral to the course of study.
Given the amount of study required, the
likelihood of success in the program is
seriously jeopardized if students are
employed more than eight hours per week.
Provincial Registration
In order to practice in Ontario as a
Registered Nurse, Nursing Program graduates
must be successful in the Registration
Examination administered by the College of
Nurses of Ontario, and must maintain their
certificate of competence thereafter. As a
result of regulations arising out of the
Nursing Act 1991, applicants for registration
in Ontario must not have been convicted of:
1.
A criminal offence; or

An offence under the Narcotic
Control Act (Canada) or the Food
and Drugs Act (Canada).
Applicants who do not meet this requirement
will be reviewed by the College of Nurses of
Ontario (C.N.O.) to determine if registration
will be granted.
Successful Ontario registrants are eligible
for registration throughout Canada (French
required in Quebec).

Curriculum
Semester 1
Nursing is the integration of the knowledge
and practice of human caring. Nursing
knowledge arises out of theory, scientific
inquiry and critical reflection. Nursing
knowledge and practice inform and shape
each other. It is this synergistic effect that
enables nurses to understand and significantly contribute to health and healing.
Nurses employ theoretical, intuitive, moral
and ethical reasoning in their practice.
Nurses collaborate with the individual and
the Health Care team to promote health and
healing.

Testimonial
“The Clinical Nursing program at Seneca College
gave me practical exposure to all aspects of nursing.
Throughout the program we worked in field
placements at different hospitals and units to
experience a variety of real-life situations. The
knowledge and clinical experience I gained at Seneca
gave me the confidence to take on extraordinary
tasks. As a result, I will soon be leaving for
Tanzania in East Africa, to practice nursing in a
part of the world where health care is desperately
needed.”

In addition, students will study anatomy and
physiology, English, computer applications
and take general education subjects such as
sociology and psychology.
Experience in the nursing practical laboratory
and in several hospital and community
settings is integral to the program of study.
Provincial Registration
In order to practice in Ontario as a Registered
Practical Nurse, Practical Nursing Program
graduates must be successful in the
Registration Examination administered by
the College of Nurses of Ontario, and must
maintain their certificate of competence
thereafter. As a result of regulations arising
out of the Nursing Act 1991, applicants for
registration in Ontario must not have been
convicted of:
1. A criminal offence; or
2. An offence under the Narcotic Control
Act (Canada) or the Food and Drugs Act
(Canada).
Applicants who do not meet this requirement
will be reviewed by the College of Nurses of
Ontario (C.N.O.) to determine if registration
will be granted.
Successful Ontario registrants are eligible
for registration throughout Canada (French
required in Quebec).

to gain entry into a nursing program.
Successful completion of this program will
enable the graduate to perform at a level
that will satisfy the entrance requirements
of a post-secondary health sciences program.
It does not, however, automatically ensure
acceptance into such programs.

Note: The general education subjects taken for credit in
the Pre-Health Science Certificate may not be counted as
general education credits in the Nursing program. This
certificate program is designed to replace OAC or U level
credits, successful completion of the general education
subjects is therefore equivalent to similar subjects at the
OAC or U level.
Math Head-Start
In past years, the mathematics subjects taken
in Semester 1 and Semester 2 have proven
to be the subjects that students find most
challenging. If students are not successful
in one or both math subjects, this delays
their graduation in this program and,
consequently, their application to health
science programs. To help students with
math, we have head-start math classes,
which run two evenings per week in
August. This head-start opportunity is highly
recommended for students who are not
confident in mathematics.

within the industry. The field work portion of the
program is an invaluable and essential experience,
allowing you to “see and do first-hand” while you
are learning. Instructors provide a wealth of
experience and knowledge and the diversity of the
course content ensured that I was exposed to
every facet of a retail florist setting.”

Program Description
The Social Service Worker Program provides
the knowledge and skill development
required to effectively assume the role of a
helping person in the human service field.
Students will be challenged to: examine
their own beliefs and values; develop their
interpersonal communication skills; and to
promote social justice, human dignity and
equality. Successful completion of the
program is based upon the student’s ability
to engage in growth and change as well as
academic performance.
This program emphasizes skill and knowledge
development in the following key areas:
interviewing, counselling and relationship
building capabilities; effective membership
and leadership in group settings; working
with families; the creation and maintenance
of helping relationships; and practice in
such specialized areas as case management,
community development and social policy.
Reflected throughout the curriculum is the
importance of training social service workers
who are committed to social justice and
anti-oppression principles. Program graduates
will possess a comprehensive set of human
service skills which are transferable to a
wide range of settings. The program promotes
group interaction as well as independent
problem solving and research. A variety of
classroom, seminar and experiential
modalities are used to integrate field
placement experience with theoretical
knowledge. Field work is seen as an essential
component in the employment preparation
process.
Field Work
In order to be eligible for field work, students
must meet the eligibility criteria as set out
in the “Social Service Worker Program
Student Code of Conduct”. Students assume
the role of a ‘beginning professional’ in
supervised field placement settings. This role
reflects the responsibilities and expectations
of an employer-employee relationship.
Note: Individuals considering the Social Service Worker
Program should carefully evaluate their reasons for entering
this field. The work calls for a person mature enough to
examine his/her own values and beliefs while focusing
upon the needs of vulnerable populations.
A current Police Reference check is REQUIRED for
entry into this program.
2005 / 2006 Full Time Program Calendar
It involves supervision, specified hours and
duties and student accountability to both
the College and agency representative. Field
work is a mutually agreed contract for which
students are evaluated by the field placement
supervisor. The minimum commitment is the
successful completion of specific periods as
set out in the Field Placement Student
Contract.
These periods are typically:
- The equivalent of 2 full days per week in
Semesters 2, 3 and 4
- Full week block placements as scheduled
throughout the program duration
The Social Service Worker Program subjects
are lecture and tutorial based utilizing
assigned texts; some are practice-oriented,
stressing interpersonal skills and group
dynamics. Students can expect to spend 20
to 25 hours each week on assignments, as
well as two days per week in field placement.

Program Description
The Social Service Worker – Gerontology
Program integrates the knowledge base,
professional values, and skill sets of social
service work with a specific concentration
on the needs, challenges, and concerns of
Canada’s elderly population. Students will
have the opportunity to develop skill sets such
as: individual, and group modes of facilitation;
interventions with clients, their families and
significant others; case management skills;
interpersonal communication skills; and
skills related to working with bereavement
and grief. The program has a very substantial
fieldwork placement component which
starts in the second semester of the program
and runs through the third and fourth
semesters. Students must successfully
complete all “in class” and “in field” learning
outcomes to graduate from the program.
Advanced standing and prior learning
assessment opportunities are available to
students. An official transcript and subject
outlines, for the courses that students wish
to present for consideration for advanced
standing, must accompany such requests.
Only courses from post-secondary institutions,
where the student has achieved at least a
final mark of 60%, will be considered for
advanced standing.
The workload of the Social Service Worker–
Gerontology Program is considered by
many students to be intensive. It includes
the ability to engage in personal change and
growth, to develop and work cohesively in
teamwork situations, to meet deadlines,
manage personal issues that might arise, and
successfully achieve the learning outcomes
of the various subjects. The College offers a
variety of supports to assist the student in
this self-directed learning environment
where the student is ultimately responsible
for his/her personal success. A student
should expect to spend 20 or more hours
each week working on assignments, etc.
Graduates have identified the following
areas as important for the successful
completion of the program: study skills;
time management; class attendance and
participation; taking personal responsibility
for the outcomes of one’s actions; minimizing
the number of hours that might be occupied
by part-time employment; and the ability to
deal constructively with the stresses of a
busy life.
Testimonial
“I needed a new direction in life, a challenge, and
the Seneca College Gerontology program provided
the fulfillment I was looking for. Knowledgeable
instructors provided us with a great understanding
of what seniors want and need. The field placement
dramatically increased my level of confidence to
the extent that I was able to start my own social
work agency, specializing in gerontology. Seneca
College has one of the best gerontology programs
in Canada. In my experience, graduates of this
program are highly competent and in demand.”
Yvonne Johnson
Founder of Social Care Network
1997 Graduate,

Occasionally students may be required to
participate in learning experiences for
which there is an additional personal
expense not covered by tuition fees.

Faculty of Applied Arts and Health Sciences
School of Health Sciences
Social Service Worker – Gerontology
Field Work
Curriculum
Students assume the role of a ‘beginning
professional’ in an approved and supervised
fieldwork setting. The student is expected to
meet the expectations and responsibilities
that are inherent in the employee – employer
relationship at the agency as well as the
learning outcomes of the Social Service
Worker – Gerontology program while
he/she is in the fieldwork setting. These typically include: the appropriate use of supervision; specified job responsibilities; record
keeping; evaluations; time
management; hours of work; team work; appropriate interpersonal interaction; etc. The
fieldwork experience is given structure and
evaluated on the basis of an approved three
party contract entered into by the student,
the approved fieldwork agency, and the
Seneca SSWG program. The work calls for
individuals who are self-aware, reliable,
sensitive and facilitative, and mature
enough to focus on the needs and interests
of others.
Semester 1
Fieldwork days are typically:
- The equivalent of two full days per week in
semesters 2, 3 and 4
- Full week block placements as scheduled
throughout the program duration
The student is aided in the selection and
three part approval process for obtaining a
fieldwork placement by the College faculty
and the extensive information available on
the agencies used previously. The actual
contact and interview process for obtaining
a fieldwork placement is usually the
responsibility of the student. This is done to
help the student develop job-search skills
while in the supportive environment of the
program. All fieldwork placements must be
approved by the College and students
receive individual help in determining
which settings will be most beneficial to
them. Students may not take placements in
which a relative or close friend is in a
supervisory or management position to the
student.

Program Description
The program is intended for both new
graduates of courses in electronics technology
and those with industry experience in
engineering or technology. The syllabus of
the program includes the fundamental
design and product development concepts
necessary for participants to enhance their
understanding of product design, or facilitate
a transition from one area of engineering
technology to another. The courseware has
been developed to build on the student’s
understanding of both analog and digital
engineering principles as applied in modern
product engineering technology.
Centered around the application of Wireless
Communications, the program includes
treatment of the following design
fundamentals: Printed Circuit Board (PCB),
Applications Specific Integrated Circuits
(ASIC), Statistics and Quality Management,
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA),
Advanced Real Time Microprocessors,
Digital Signal Processing (DSP), and Safety
Certification and Approvals.
A key element in the AED program is the use
of industry standard software and hardware
tools in the courses being presented. This
not only ensures that students are given the
opportunity to learn current industry design
methodology, it will also foster an awareness
of Seneca throughout the industrial community,
and help ensure that graduates have the
skills in the use of Electronics Design
Automation (EDA) tools such as Mentor
Graphics and Cadence which have become
industry standards. This will reduce the
amount of additional training a student would
need to undergo when being considered by
a prospective employer.
Co-operative Education Option
The Co-op model for this program will
consist of a four month work term following
the second academic semester.

Corporate Communications
Your Career
Graduates are prepared for public relations management careers in business, government agencies, public
relations consultancies, professional associations, and non-profit organizations requiring articulate and
effective communication practitioners with excellent managerial, writing, speaking, technical, and social
skills. Initially, many graduates accept entry level public relations and promotional positions before moving
on to communication careers in such areas as issues management, crisis communication, employee relations,
media relations, financial relations, government relations, speech writing, special event planning, and
spokesperson training. Some graduates apply the knowledge gained in this program to careers other than
public relations.
Program Code: CCM
Campus: Seneca@York
Credential Awarded: Ontario College Graduate
Certificate
Duration: 2 semesters (1 Year)
Start Dates: Fall, Winter
Start dates are subject to change
Twelve-month Co-operative Education (CCMC)
and eight-month regular (CCM) programs are
available.
Admission Requirements
Program Eligibility
• Applicants must have a degree from an
accredited university or a three-year
college diploma.
Applicant Selection
• Applicants will be selected on the basis
of their previous scholastic record; work
record, if applicable; a brief (400 word
maximum) statement of interest in a
career in public relations; and a written
test. Because the number of applicants
exceeds the number of places available,
only those applicants who can demonstrate
ability in successful self-management,
self-directed learning, professionalism,
and the highest likelihood of success will
be considered. Selected applicants
should have a computer, programmed
with contemporary word processing and
spreadsheet programs, and a printer.
Program Description
This program is an intensive learning
experience designed to graduate a mature,
flexible public relations practitioner with
excellent management, research, writing,
technical, and social skills who can become
productive quickly, without excessive
supervision in a communications or
consulting position.
Qualified students may elect to take a cooperative or non-co-operative education
program. The co-operative program is
offered over 12 consecutive months in three
semesters – two academic and one jobrelated.
The non-co-operative program is offered
over 8 consecutive months in two academic
semesters. The subjects offered in the
academic semesters are common to both
programs.
Employers and academics in Europe, the
USA and most Commonwealth countries
now recognize that the practice of public
relations (corporate communications) is an
applied social science with its own body of
vocational knowledge, which must be
mastered. Increasingly, the practice
demands that students and practitioners
develop and apply public relations
administration skills and the knowledge of
how contemporary societies work and
interact to commercial, institutional and
political issues.
Consequently, to prepare for a career in the
field, practitioners acquire a solid grounding
in at least one of the following social science
majors before studying public relations:
political science, economics, history,
English literature, sociology, psychology,
and business or public administration.
164
2005 / 2006 Full Time Program Calendar
The program emphasizes experiential
learning. Consequently, students learn from
each other, as well as from the professors.
It is vital to select a program that offers the
skill set and perspective that will help you
achieve your career goals. It is just as
important to choose a program that is suited
to your learning style. Seneca’s program
emphasizes public relations research, a
global perspective, and active learning.
Students must be prepared to work
productively and closely with each other
and with the professors.
In addition to tuition and living expenses,
students should budget approximately $750
for textbooks and $400 for incidentals
associated with various class and research
activities.

It is also officially recognized by the
Canadian Public Relations Society and the
International Association of Business
Communicators.
The curriculum has been developed based
on recommendations and standards of the
International Public Relations Association
(IPRA) and PRSA. IPRA, a group of senior
public relations practitioners from 100
countries based in London, England, actively
engages in research. It conducts an
international Congress every three years,
with the aim of advancing public relations
practice and education on a global level.
Seneca’s program is guided by the
recommendation of the IPRA International
Commission on Public Relations Education:
The training of students for the public
relations profession implies curricula and
internships that equip them for the kind of
future environment in which they will be
working, not just that which exists today.
After you graduate from Corporate
Communications, you may be eligible to
continue your studies at one of our partner
universities, and receive a Master’s degree
in public relations in as little as four months.
Several universities recognize our program’s
international reputation for excellence, and
award advanced standing for up to 50 percent
of their program. Our partner universities
are: The University of Western Sydney in
Australia; University of Central Lancashire
in England; and Cape Technikon in South
Africa. Central Lancashire and Cape
Technikon offer their Master’s degrees by
distance education, with a short residency
period. On January 1, 2005, Cape Technikon
will merge with Peninsula Technikon, and
become Cape Peninsula University–one of
the largest in Africa with some 35,000 fulltime students.

Testimonial
“Taking Seneca’s Court and Tribunal Agent
Accelerated Program created a strong foundation
of knowledge and skills that assisted me in my
first year of law school. Legal Research, Contracts,
Immigration Law and Criminal Practice and
Procedure are all subjects that I encountered again
in my law studies. My solid foundation and
understanding of various aspects and areas of the
law and its process, as a result of taking the CRTA
program eased my anxiety and overall gave me the
confidence to be successful in my first year of law
school.”
