FACULTY OF INFORMATION AND MEDIA STUDIES

WESTERN/FANSHAWE COLLABORATIVE DEGREE/DIPLOMA IN MEDIA THEORY AND PRODUCTION

Admission Requirements

Admission to the program is through the University of Western Ontario and requires meeting the standards of admission to the University. Students must enroll at the University for their first year as MIT-designated students.

Thirty students will be admitted to the second year of the program. Students will be evaluated for admission based on their academic standing by a joint committee from the two institutions. Attainment of minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission. Entry to the program is competitive on the basis of academic achievement. Ten students will be admitted to each of the program's three streams: Broadcast Journalism, Multimedia Production and TV Production. These stream selections will be indicated on the students' transcripts. Students will rank their preferences, and the ten best selecting each stream will be admitted. Students are not guaranteed to receive their first choice rankings.

Students who have applied to the collaborative program directly in first year will be given priority for admission to the second year. If the collaborative program is not filled from these students, other MIT students may then be considered for admission. The joint admissions committee will review requests for Advanced Standing on a case-by-case basis.

If, after first year, students wish to continue only in the MIT program, they will be permitted to progress into the second year of the three or four-year degree, provided that they have maintained a suitable academic average and that progression requirements have been met.
