Purpose of the Catalogue
This catalogue is published to give you information about
courses and programs to be offered by Fraser Valley College
during the 1978-79 academic year. Although every effort is made
to ensure accuracy at the time of printing, the statements in this
catalogue are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract
between the student and the College. Fraser Valley College
reserves the right to change any provision or requirement at any
time.

You and Your College
Fraser Valley College is a comprehensive community college; it
offers studies for credits towards university degree programs,
for career objectives, for academic upgrading, or for general
interest and self-improvement.
The College is sensitive to the changing needs of your
community, and tries to provide educational, cultural, social and
recreational services for that community.
This implies a commitment to offer a variety of educational
programs for adults of varying interest, abilities, career goals,
previous education, and means.
The College accepts that commitment, and has adopted an
"open door" approach to these responsibilities. That means
every effort is made to admit students into the programs they
want to take, whether or not they have a formal high school
education. You don't have to be a high school graduate to come
to Fraser Valley College.
The programs at Fraser Valley College include Adult Basic
Education and upgrading, for people whose formal education
may have been interrupted; one and two-year job-oriented
programs to train people for better jobs and more rewarding
careers; the first two years of most university degree programs;
and a rich variety of general-interest courses which recognize
that life is enriched by all kinds of learning.
To support these programs, the College has personal, academic,
and vocational counselling services; reference and study
resources; a Learning Assistance Program to help students
acquire study habits and skills; a Mature Students' Association
to help people overcome the difficulties of re-entry to higher
education, or of combining education with other responsibilities;
and an interesting student life of social, cultural, and
recreational events.
Fraser Valley College is a community college ... and the
emphasis on the word "community" is taken seriously.
It is administered under the authority of a council of ten people
representing the five major communities the College serves:
Abbotsford , Mission, Chilliwack, Agassiz, and Hope.
In the development of programs, too, the community is involved:

the Community Education Division draws extensively on the
expertise and resources of community organizations such as

4

Community Services, Arts Councils, Recreation Councils,
business and professional associations, church groups, and
service clubs. Vocational programs are developed with the
assistance of advisory committees drawn from people who are
experts in their occupation and are residents of the community.
In all, there are more than a hundred people who serve on these
advisory committees, and their contribution to the quality of
College programs is invaluable.
A unique relationship exists between the College and
Coqualeetza Indian Education Centre at Sardis. Coqualeetza is
an education and cultural centre administered by Stalo Indians,
and supported by 37 bands, most of them located in the Fraser
Valley. In order to be able to meet the educational requirements
of Native Indians as they perceive them, FVC has retained
Coqualeetza as an advisor and program development consultant.
Among the products of this relationship have been special
upgrading and job readiness training courses to which a strong
cultural support component has been added, with the result that
successful completion rates increased markedly.
The College has also provided an instructors' training course for
Coqualeetza elders to prepare them for teaching classes in the
Halkomelem language of the Upper Stalo people. A course for
home-school coordinators has trained people who can increase
cooperation between Native Indian families and public schools to
the benefit of the children's education.
Coqualeetza and FVC have cooperated in Information Fairs to
provide bands with knowledge of resources available to them,
and in a recent experiment in educational television via satellite.
In addition, the resources of Coqualeetza are made available to
FVC and other community organizations. These resources
include a library; a resource centre with audio-visual equipment,
video and sound tapes and slides; historical materials and an
archival photo collection; maps; a model of curriculum
development relating to the Stalo people which has been
successfully tested in the public school, and the resources of the
language program, including a trained linguist. You can contact
them at:
Coqualeetza Education Training Centre
Box 370
Sardis, B.C.
Phone: 858-9431

Financial Aid
Despite careful budgeting and hard work at summer and
part-time jobs, many students still have difficulty saving enough
money to complete their post-secondary studies. The College is
prepared to assist needy students through its Financial Aid and
Job Placement Office.
If you are short of funds, visit the Student Services Office to
discuss your circumstances with a Financial Aid Officer, who
will assist you to apply for a grant or loan. A Financial Aid
Handbook is available to give you more information.

Grants
Grants are assistance funds which need not be repaid. There are
two types at Fraser Valley College:
1. Scholarships - awarded on the basis of scholastic merit.
2. Bursaries - awarded on the basis of need.
High school students who will be entering Fraser Valley College
directly after graduation should visit their high school
counsellors to find out what local scholarships and bursaries are
available. Groups such as the Rotary Club, the Royal Canadian
Legion and the Odd Fellows often provide bursaries up to $200
for graduating students.
If you are continuing to second year at Fraser Valley College, or

are entering for the first time but not directly from high school,
you are encouraged to look through the Financial Aid Handbook
to see if you qualify for any of the more than 90 bursaries and
scholarships listed.
Loans
Loans are assistance funds which must be repaid after leaving
college. There are three major sources of loans at Fraser Valley
College:

1. Canada Student Loans - available to Canadian citizens
or landed immigrants taking 60% or more of a full
program of studies.
2. B.C. Youth Foundation Loans - available to B.C.
residents under the age of 30 who are completing Grade
XII or studying in academic, technical or vocational
fields.
3. P.E.O. Sisterhood Loans - available to women who are
high school graduates or equivalent and who are
enrolling in career, technical or academic work at the
College.
Work/Study
Work/Study is financial assistance in the form of a salaried
part-time job while attending school.

1. College-Sponsored Jobs - a limited number of jobs, on
campus, are sponsored by various College
departments. Last year, student assistants were
employed by the Art Department, the Learning
Resources Centre, the Maintenance Division and
Student Services. The jobs vary from short-term, "on
call" positions to long-term, part-time jobs.

2. Work / Study Option - approximately 30-40 part-time

jobs (5 - 15 hours per week), offering a wide range of
employment experience, are available to students who
have qualified for Canada Student Loans and who wish
to gain paid practical experience in a job related to their
studies and / or future career.
3. Off-Campus Jobs - from time to time, employers in the
community list employment vacancies with the College.
The Financial Aid Officers actively solicit these kinds of
part-time positions for students and will help place you
in such jobs.
B.C. Student Financial Assistance Program
The British Columbia Student Financial Assistance Program,
consisting of Canada Student Loans and supplementary grants
from the provincial government, is the most popular source of
financial assistance for students attending the College. These
awards consist of approximately 2/5 grant and 3/ 5 loan.
Application Procedure:
1. Pick up a Canada Student Loan application from Student
Services or one of the regional offices.
2. Return the completed application to a Financial Aid Officer
no later than 4 weeks after the start of classes.
3. If funds are needed before the first day of classes, applications
must be submitted approximately 8 weeks in advance (by July

Refunds
University Transfer and Career Programs
For all courses except Leisure and Vocational, refunds are based
on the approximate percentage of instruction completed. For
classes offered through the semester system, refunds are made
as follows:
Refund

monthly, no refund is allowed after the second class meeting. A
full refund is allowed prior to this date.
N.B. When there are extenuating circumstances, refunds may be

authorized by an Administrative Officer.
Lab Supplies
The College, at the present time, does not assess a fee for lab
supplies. However this policy is under review and a fee may be
implemented in the near future.
Student Society Fees
At the present time the College does not collect membership fees
on behalf of a Student Society. However, it is possible that such
fees may be assessed in the near future.

Admissions
Fraser Valley College subscribes to an ''open-door'' policy. This
means that every effort is made to admit students whether or not
they have a formal high school education. Specific admissions
requirements are necessary for some programs to ensure student
success. The program descriptions in this catalogue will tell you
if the course you want has special requirements.
You can become an FVC student if you have completed the
stated prerequisites and are:
1. a secondary school graduate, or
2. nineteen years of age or over, or
3. recommended for admission by the secondary school
principal or superintendent.

Students who meet program entry requirements are admitted on
a first-come , first-served basis according to the date a completed
application is received.
A special note to foreign students: you must show proof of
landed immigrant status before registering for any FVC
program.
Any person who does not meet stated admissions requirements
may petition our Admissions Committee for special
consideration.

Some exceptions to this are:
1. College Foundations and BTSD, where you must be
seventeen years of age or over and out of school for one
year or more.
2. Vocational programs where specific requirements are
set by the Ministry of Education.
3. Leisure-time courses, where students will ordinarily be
15 years of age or over.

Academic Regulations
Some of the policies the College has established to guide
admissions and standards are listed below. For more information
about College regulations enquire at Student Services.

Registration - Student Responsibility
Students are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of
their registrations, and for meeting the stated prerequisites and
corequisites of a given course or program.

Course Challenge
Some courses at Fraser Valley College may be challenged for
credit. This means that a student who can demonstrate mastery
of course objectives may be granted credit without taking the
course.

Advance Placement
For some College courses, a student may demonstrate mastery
of a lower level course and be admitted directly to an upper level
course without completing prerequisite or corequisite courses.
Advance placement does not give the student credit for courses
bypassed, nor does it preclude the necessity of obtaining credit
for courses required by other institutions. A list of courses for
which advance placement is permitted may be obtained from
Student Services.

Course challenge is available to students who are currently
registered in credit courses at Fraser Valley College, or who have
completed one or more credits at the College within the past
three academic years. Student Services will provide a list of
courses open to challenge.

Placement Examinations
Students may be asked to take examinations which will help to
determine skill levels and aid selection of courses appropriate to
their previous educational backgrounds and abilities.
International Students
Students from countries outside Canada may be admitted to the
College if they have obtained status as Landed Immigrants
according to regulations set by the Canadian Employment and
Immigration Commission. Since the language of instruction is
English , those not proficient in both written and oral English
may be ineligible for admission if appropriate preparatory
courses are not available. A small number of well-qualified
students from foreign countries may be admitted on student
visas to enrich the cultural climate of the College.
Transfer Credit
In general, Fraser Valley College will honor credits earned by a
student at another post-secondary institution recognized by the
College. Official transcripts will indicate the number of credits
for which transfer credit is granted but will not show
course-by-course equivalence or grades.

Normally transfer credit will not be given for more than 50% of
the credits necessary to complete the requirements for a diploma
or certificate.
Recognition by the College of studies completed elsewhere does
not imply, or in any way guarantee, that the transfer credits will
be recognized by another institution. Students may be required
to complete prerequisites or other requirements for entry into a
course or program.
Transfer credit allowed for previous work in a particular subject
area does not necessarily excuse the student from meeting these
prerequisites.

10

Audit
Students may enroll in a course and participate fully but receive
no assessment of their performance in the class. A grade of
" AU" is assigned for courses taken on an audit basis. Audit
students are expected to meet the prerequisites for the courses
they are taking.
Late Entry
After 10% of a course is completed, students may enter only with
the permission of the instructor.
Prerequisites and Corequisltes
A prerequisite is a requirement which must be met before a
student enters a course or program. A corequisite is a course
which must be taken concurrently with another course if it has
not been taken previously. Students who do not have the stated
prerequisite or corequisite courses may not register in a course
having these requirements without prior permission of the
instructor.

Course Load - University Transfer
A full course load is normally 15 credits per semester. Students
are encouraged to enroll in not more than 15 credits per semester
and may not enroll in more than 18 credits without permission of
a Dean.
Defmition of a Full-Time Student
A full-time student is a person enrolled in 60% or more of the
standard course load for a given program. A part-time student is
enrolled in Jess than 60% of a standard course load.
Attendance
Students are expected to attend scheduled lectures, laboratories,
field trips , seminars and examinations unless given instructions
to the contrary.

Grades

Change of Permanent Grades

The grading system at Fraser Valley College reflects a
philosophical commitment to report achievement. For that
reason transcripts issued by FVC show only those courses for
which the student has attained a passing grade.

An instructor may change the grade of a student with the consent
of the Dean of Instruction.

An "I" (Incomplete) grade may be assigned by an instructor
when a student has not completed all the requirements of a
course but does not, in the opinion of the instructor, warrant an
" NC" or other grade.

Students given an " I" grade may earn a passing grade by
fulfilling a contract with their instructors to complete certain
assignments within a specified time, normally not more than six
weeks after the end of a course .

A '' P'' grade does not necessarily permit the student to pursue
another course for which the graded course was a prerequisite.

The College measures the workload of a student by assigning
units of credit to a course or program. In general, one credit is
defined as the equivalent of one week of full-time study. The
credit value of a vocational program is equal to the nu mber of
weeks of full-time study required to complete the program. The
credit value of a full-time university transfer or career program
which extends over one semester will normally be 15 credits . The
credits earned by successful completion of a community
education course are determined on the basis of one credit for
every 30 hours of instruction.

Dean's List

A "CR" grade is a non-competitive grade which means that the
work completed is equal to a "C" or better.

Students with outstanding scholastic records are given special
recognition when their names are added to the Dean' s List of
Distinguished Students.

An ''I'' grade means that course requirements have not been
fully met. A permanent grade is assigned upon completion of a
contract signed by instructor and student.

Diplomas

Grade-Point Average

The College only uses calculation of grade-point averages to
determine the Dean's List of Distinguished Students.
Course Withdrawal

Stude nts who withdraw officially from a course up to the last day
of instruction will receive a final grade of "W". A grade of
''NC'' (No Credit) will be assigned to students who drop out
without completing the required forms at the Student Services
office. If you decide to withdraw you are encouraged to discuss
your situation with your instructors or a counsellor.
Academic Warning

A student may be required to withdraw from a course or program
because of poor academic performance. Before this action is
taken, students are entitled to a warning and an oppc,rtunity to
improve their work in the course.

A student who successfully completes at least 60 credits of
university transfer course work will be granted, on request, a
Diploma in Liberal Arts and Science.
Upon successful completion of the minimum requirements of a
two-year career program, a student will be eligible for a Diploma
in Applied Arts and Science.
Successful completion of 60 credits from any course area will
earn a Diploma in General Studies.

Certificates

A student who successfully completes a prescribed College
program of more than 10 credits (10 weeks offull-time study or
300 hours) is eligible for a certificate. A student who completes a
prescribed program in college foundations will be granted a
College Foundations Certificate on request. For certain
programs, this certificate is considered equivalent to the
secondary school graduation diploma.

Transcripts

Statement of Program Completion

Stude nts may obtain transcripts of their permanent records by
applyi ng to the Student Services office. The first three
tra nscripts are free, if all are obtained at the same time.
Additional transcripts may be obtained for $1 each.

A student who completes a prescribed College course or program
of less than 10 credits will be eligible for a Statement of Program
Completion .

Amendment of Pe rmanent Record

Academic Appeal

A course or grade may not be deleted from the permanent
record . However, if a student repeats a course, only the highest
grade earned will appear on the permanent record.

Students may appeal academic decisions or practices of the
College which they would like to have changed. For more
information about the procedure, apply to Student Services.

11

Confidentiality of Student Records
Fraser Valley College endeavors to keep student records
confidential and away from those who would use them for other
than legitimate purposes.

Students are entitled to an official transcript of their academic
records and to an explanation of any information recorded on it.
Requests for transcripts or other information from a parent,
educational institution or community agency will not be honored
without written consent of the student.
The College will confirm or deny the following information
requested by any outside individual or organization about a
student: whether the student is presently enrolled or
confirmation of dates previously attended, program and year of
program, registration status, and certificate or diploma claimed.

Student Life
Athletics and Recreation

Special Events

Fraser Valley College students have shown a keen interest in two
kinds of sports and recreational activities: non-competitive
"life" sports and co-ed team sports.

Each year, the College sponsors a number of cultural events
featuring outstanding artists, musicians, speakers and actors.
Many of these special programs are designed to complement
regular classroom activities.

Life Sports
Many students are interested in developing skill in life-long
recreational sports they can enjoy wherever they go and which do
not require the presence of established teams or complex
facilities. They want to participate in sports that allow an
opportunity to engage in healthy physical exercise in company
with family and friends. For these students, Fraser Valley
College offers cross-country skiing, downhill skiing ,
snow-shoeing, canoeing, camping, hiking, swimming and other
forms of recreation.
Co-Ed Team Sports
Students who like team sports and who want to meet new friends
can participate in co-educational team sports such as tennis,
badminton, volleyball, floor hockey, and ice hockey .

Each fall, sports and recreation sign-up sheets are placed in the
college lounges so that students may indicate their preferences
and abilities. Organization of activities and teams is done
primarily by advisors on each campus. The types of activities
offered vary from year to yea r, depending upon student interest
and involvement. Since the College does not have its own
gymnasium, many activities are scheduled during the evening in
facilities offered by secondary schools or community recreation
centres.

While special events are generally on campus a number are
scheduled off-campus in community facilities. In addition,
College-sponsored excursions have been made to Vancouver and
other cultural centres to attend performances by top Canadian
and international performing artists.

Student Organizations
The students of Fraser Valley College recognize that many
valuable learning experiences take place outside of the
classroom. Consequently. they have organized a variety of clubs
and activities to add enjoyment to their college days. For
students who want to become involved in the institution's
decision-making processes, there is ample opportunity to serve
on college committees and task forces with faculty and staff. A
Student Activity Advisor is available in Abbotsford and
Chilliwack to help students organize successful social acit\ ity
programs.

Sometimes students don't have the necessary study skills to
successfully complete college studies. They may lack
essay-writing training, or they may not be comfortable in solving
algebraic problems. And these difficulties are often not solved in
regular classroom sessions. So students need assistance in
solving their problems, and the Learning Assistance Program
(LAP) provides that assistance.
The LAP tutoring program involves regular College faculty,
scheduled in LAP centres in both Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

16

These tutors arrange time in the centres to give individual help
to any College student who asks for assistance.
Whether the difficulty be large, as in developing speed and
accuracy in reading; or small, as in solving graph problems , the
tutors guide each student in learning how to solve the problem.
The program is free, and you can drop into Room 202 in
Abbotsford or Room 112 in Chilliwack for help . Many students
have found the LAP's help of great benefit.
In addition to the tutoring centres, the LAP offers help through
the Learning Resources Centres and Student Services.
On a regular basis , counsellors offer "classroom survival"
courses that focus on such skills as note-taking, coping with
examinations, and study techniques . Here students find direct
help with organizaing their study efforts.
As well , the Learning Resources Centres in Abbotsford and
Chilliwack each have a librarian available to help students with
the use of LRC materials. If you wish to use the LRC or Student
Services help, drop into these areas and ask for information.
The LAP is an extra-class service for you. It is free. It is an
energetic program that offers help with your study problems.
The LAP is a friendly place, and will be pleased to help you.

Community Education
Program
The Community Education program includes courses in many
subject areas which in the past were known as "adult education"
or "night school".
Community Education courses are offered on Fraser Valley
College's two main campuses and in many other locations
around Chilliwack and Abbotsford, and in community facilities in
Agassiz, Mission and Hope. The courses are offered on a
short-term or part-time basis during evenings, daytime, and
weekends.
The College wishes to serve residents of all ages and in all parts
of the community and therefore looks to local groups and
individuals for course ideas and for assistance in program
planning. It co-operates with community agencies in organizing
co-sponsored courses and encourages community participation,
as well as that of interested individuals.
The Community Education Division issues program brochures
twice each year, before the beginning of each semester in
September and January. The brochures contain lists and
descriptions of all of the part-time courses being offered in the
region. Delivered without charge to every household in the
College area, the publication contains all the information
necessary for you to enroll in a College course.
The Community Education Division is one of the most extensive
instructional departments in the College. During the 1976- 77
academic year, "Community Ed" offered over 750 workshops,
classes and seminars, for a total of more than 12,500
registrations and 250,000 student-hours of instruction.
Included in the Community Education Program are courses such
as these:

English Language Courses
Classes in spoken and written English for landed immigrants,
new Canadian citizens, and others are offered on a regular basis.
The classes are graded to suit students from those who speak no
English to those who wish to improve their written and
conversational skills.

College Foundations Courses
The College offers a limited number of academic upgrading
courses which enable students to begin studies at their present
level, proceed at their own pace, and complete the program of
their choice. Included in the foundations courses are basic
studies, mathematics and English foundations, and secondary
school equivalency courses such as Biology 11, English 11, and
Mathematics 12. The foundations program is designed
specifically to prepare students for further college studies.

Vocational Agricultural Courses
Many part-time agriculture courses are offered primarily for
persons now employed in agriculture. The courses include
Agri-Finance, Broiler Hatching, Dairy Nutrition, Farm Metrics,
Sheep Production, and Soils Sciences. As the College is able to
set up short-term agriculture courses to suit the needs of specific
groups in the area, your inquiries are invited.

Living Skills Courses
Credit Courses
University Transfer and Career courses when offered as evening
studies or in the regional centres away from the College's two
core campuses are the joint responsibility of the Division of
Instruction and the Community Education Division.

Courses in this category are usually co-sponsored with various
community organizations and take the form of workshops and
seminars designed to help adults understand human
development, and cope better with typical life crises in marriage,
parenthood, friendship, and careers.
Many courses are designed with a specific group in mind.
Special classes for senior citizens, single parents, women, and
people nearing retirement are offered.

Part-time Vocational Courses
Many business, trade and occupational courses are offered on a
part-time basis for both upgrading and pre-employment
training. These courses include Airbrake Training, Business
Mathematics, Bookkeeping, Carpentry and Construction Trades,
Drafting, Gasfitting, Legal and Medical Office Training, Trades
Qualification courses, Secretarial and Stenographic skills,
Supervision, and Welding.
Many part-time vocational courses are offered in response to
special requests by business, industry and labor. The College
has the capability to respond quickly to requests for specialized
training courses.

Cultural Events Program
The College supports and promotes the performing arts through
a series of concerts in both Abbotsford and Chilliwack. These
concerts, usually co-sponsored with local Arts Councils, are
designed to bring to this area a type of entertainment which
would otherwise not oe available. Local and nationally known
performers are featured.
Noon-hour concerts for both students and the public are also
offered periodically at both campuses, in co-operation with
student organizations.

17

Leisure Time Courses
The College also offers leisure time courses for adults in the
community to enable people to make their leisure time more
constructive and enjoyable. Many types of leisure courses are
offered throughout the year. Typical of these are arts and crafts•
painting, drawing, ceramics, and photography; languages ·
conversational French, Dutch, German and Spanish; performing
arts • dance, and instrumental music; activities • yoga, golf,
reflexology and tennis; home arts• sewing , upholstery, Chinese
cooking, and gardening.
Early registration in leisure time classes is advised, since they
may be cancelled if enrollment is too low. The direct cost of
operating these classes must be met by student fees.

Regional Offices
The Community Education Division administers the College's
regional offices in Agassiz, Hope and Mission. These offices set
up courses and deliver programs to their respective
communities. They also provide library and resource centre
services, offer counselling and program planning to prospective
students, and provide information and registration services for
students wishing to attend classes anywhere in the College
region.

Co-sponsors
The College would be unable to operate effectively without the
co-operation of many groups and organizations in the region.
Over 30 groups are actively working with the College in
co-sponsoring training and activity programs of many types.
Typical of these co-sponsoring organizations are the following:
Hope Rod and Gun Club, Chehalis Education Committee,
Coqualeetza Education Training Centre , Chilliwack Chamber of
Commerce, Abbotsford Health Centre, and Mission Community
Services.
The College is grateful to these organizations for the assistance
they provide to bring more effective programming to the people
of the Fraser Valley.

Business management today is an exciting and challenging
occupation, requiring dedication, common sense, hard work and
a sound education in many subjects and disciplines.
Fraser Valley College offers a number of programs to help an
individual become an effective manager and successful in
business:
• Business Administration Program: 2-year Diploma
• Retail Management Program: 2-year Diploma
• Fashion Merchandising Program: 1-year Certificate
• Business Administration Evening Program: Certificate

Business Administration Program
This two-year diploma program is designed to give you a solid
educational background on which to build a career in
management. It stresses practical management skills and
fundamental business theory.
In the first year of the program, you will be exposed to
fundamental principles in a wide range of business subjects; the
second year emphasizes the application of these principles to the
major business areas of marketing, production, finance and
personnel.
Transferability and Job Placement
The first year of the diploma program is equivalent to a similar
business management program offered by the B.C. Institute of
Technology, and meets BCIT' s first year requirements for three
management technologies: administration, financial or
marketing management. If you decide to specialize in any one of
these areas, you can complete the second year at BCIT and
receive a diploma upon completion of the Institute's
requirements.

Other community colleges in British Columbia offer business
management programs similar to Fraser Valley College, and in
most instances transfer is possible.
The Society oflndustrial Accountants (RIA) has granted
transferability to their program for some business courses
offered at Fraser Valley College. Some course transferability has
also been approved by the Certified General Accountants Society
(CGA) towards their program.
While no transferability has been arranged between the
Business Management Program at Fraser Valley College and the
Commerce programs at UBC or SFU, you may complete
first-year requirements for either of these programs at Fraser
Valley College, as their first year consists of arts and sciences
courses which can be taken through FVC's University Transfer
Program. For further information, please consult Student
Services.

Upon successful completion of the requirements of the two-year
program, you should be equipped for many management
training positions or junior management positions in medium or
large firms, and in small businesses such as real estate
companies, farms, small retail stores and supermarkets.
Requirements for Admission
Because the Business Management Program at Fraser Valley
College is very demanding, prospective students for the diploma
program are required to have completed Grade 12. Mathematics
11 is a specific prerequisite. If you don't have these
qualifications you may apply for special consideration.
How to Apply
Student information packages are available from the Student
Services offices. An application form, detailed instructions on
how to apply and other useful information are enclosed.
Dates and Locations
To complete the program in the minimum time (two years), you
will have to start in September of each year. If necessary, you
may start the program in January; however, only a limited
number of courses may be taken then, and consequently, it will
take longer to complete the course.

First year courses are offered during the day at both the
Chilliwack and Abbotsford campuses. Courses in the second year
may be distributed between the two campuses, with some
offered in the evening only.
Fees and Costs
The cost per course is $20 each to a maximum of $100 per
semester. In addition, books and supplies cost approximately
$200 per year.

services) from resource owners to business firms, and with the
evaluation and allocation among alternative uses. Economic
models assuming perfect and imperfect competition will be

Farrier Training
Basic Program
Robert Marshall, R.S.S. (Worshipful Company ofFarriers)
The light horse industry of Western Canada is experiencing an
unprecedented increase in the number of people interested in
horses for relaxation, recreation and business. The Farrier
Training program was established to meet the increasing need
for trained and competent persons to care for the hooves and legs
of these animals by making and fitting horseshoes skillfully.
It is expected that graduates of the basic program will have the
wish to become professional farriers. Therefore, you will be
encouraged to take the Advanced Farriers' course after
approximately one year's field experience. After that, you will be
ready to become self-employed as a qualified farrier.
Placement
The purpose of the Basic Farrier Training Program is to give you
initial training so that you are able to work competently under
the supervision of a qualified farrier.
Requirements for Admission
You must have completed Grade 10 or better to qualify for the

The prime purpose of the Fraser Valley College Fine Arts
Program is to educate those who will earn their livelihood as
professional artists, designers, and instructors. The program

culture and the world.
The Fine Arts Program offers three two-year diploma options.
These are general studies, fashion design, and graphic design
and communication. Students wishing to plan transfer programs
to the second or third year level at university. (B.A. or B.F.A.)
may do so by selecting the appropriate courses.
Students will be admitted to programs on a full or part-time
basis. Students intending to complete a Fraser Valley College
diploma should plan for full-time studies in order to meet
demands of the program.

You should be a secondary school graduate, or nineteen years or
older, or be recommended for admission by the secondary school
principal or superintendent.

In order to qualify for a diploma, you must complete 16 studio
courses (48 credits) and 4 elective courses (12 credits). Electives
must be non-studio courses.

General Studies Option

PAINTING AND PRINTMAKING MAJOR

Artistic expression is the essential concommitant of a healthy
culture; the artist's statement and understanding of the world is,
in many instances, more relevant for us than that of his
contemporaries in political or commercial life. Most of us know
the works of Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Goya, Rodin
and Degas ... but few can name the political or business leaders .
of their day.

Semester I
F.A. 111 (3)

elective (3)

Marshall McLuhan describes the artist as a perceptor of what is
happening now in society, while the rest of us "drive through life
looking in the rear view mirror''. The function of the artist,
McLuhan says, is to keep bringing the real present into the
awareness of us all.
The artist acts, simultaneously, as innovator, critic, recorder,
and commentator on our progress as a civilization.
FVC General Fine Art Studies bring out of the student the latent
capacities to express these values.
No formal restrictions are placed on the choice of courses, other
than those detailed under "prerequisites" for individual
courses. Thus, you are free to design your own program of study,
to explore several different studies and disciplines, and the
relationship between them.
However, the art department suggests, especially for second
year students, concentration in either painting and printmaking
or in sculpture and ceramics.
Transfer and Placement

Many courses required by the program are transferable to
university. Transfer to other schools of Fine Art may be possible
subject to presentation of an acceptable portfolio. Consult the
Transfer Guide on page 82.
The graduate of this program may work in community recreation
programs, in various community education programs as a
teacher of Fine Arts, in rehabilitation work, or in other positions
requiring the skill of a trained artist. Some graduates will
become self-employed artists.

Fashion Design Option
Fashion is one of the main forces in today's economy; from the
design of clothes and fabrics to the art of advertisements, the
sensitivity of the designer to public tastes both expresses and
guides the elements of our culture in which most people
participate.
The talent of the designer is not only in the traditional skills of
hand and eye, but also in the ability to think in practical design
terms. It is the task of the fashion designer to conceive ideas that
will stimulate the development and sale of the clients' products
or services, and to help the client give those ideas form in ways
that serve the public's needs and desires.
Vital to success in this field are imagination and contemporary
thinking. The curriculum of this program is designed to help you
develop these qualities.
Transfer and Placement
Many courses required by the program are transferable to
university. Consult the Transfer Guide on page 82.

So long as fashions continue changing and the public prefers to
be seen in "today's styles", there will be a need for the artist
with the special talents of the textile and fashion designer. The
ability demonstrated in your portfolio after graduation will have
the greatest effect on locating a position.
Requirements for Admission
You should be a secondary school graduate, or nineteen years or
older, or be recommended for admission by the secondary school
principal or superintendent.
How to Apply
Contact Student Services or any FVC regional office.
Dates and Location
Courses are offered at the Abbotsford campus during the regular

Graphic Design and
Communication Option
Words are only one way to communicate ideas.
Often design has greater force , clarity, simplicity, and speed
than a written or spoken message.
Developing and executing design that has this power is the task
of the graphic designer.
It is the job of this artist to conceive ideas that will make visual
statements about clients' products, services or ideas, and to
translate these designs into the most appropriate medium. This
may involve developing concepts, rendering illustrations,
preparing lay-outs, specifying appropriate typography, and
creating finished art.
Success in this field requires imagination and contemporary
thinking. The curriculum of this program is designed to help you
develop these qualities.
Transfer and Placement
Many courses required by the program are transferable to
university. Consult the Transfer Guide on page 82.

The rapidly growing marketing, advertising and public relations
fields create a continuing demand for graphic artists whose ideas
are fresh, relevant, and trend setting. The abilities demonstrated
in your portfolio will have the greatest effect on locating a
position after graduation.
Requirements for Admission
You should be a secondary school graduate, or nineteen years or
older, or be recommended for admission by the secondary school

Early Childhood
Education Option
Our society is changing, and the education of young children is

difficulties in obtaining qualified staff. As long as current
economic trends continue and families find it necessary for both
parents to be employed, the need for daycare will increase.

You must submit a medical certificate which indicates you are in
good physical and mental health, and exhibit an appropriate
level of emotional stability for working with children.

Betty Wilson, Instructor's Diploma (U.B. C.)

The main objective of the Office Careers Program is to train
students for employment in the entry level office positions most
frequently and most widely available today. Another objective is
to assist the student to recognize the importance of developing
appropriate attitudes toward work which enhance success and
job satisfaction.
The Office Careers Program features an individualized,
independent approach to learning of business skills. It is
designed to enable business students to progress through
subject matter at their own rate.
The program is beneficial for students who are experiencing
difficulty in regular business classes, those who have returned to
school after a break in their education, those who wish to
brush up their skills, and those who lack clearly established
goals and wish to explore the various career opportunities in
business.

Transfer and Placement
Offices in business, government, and industry offer many
interesting opportunities for immediate employment. The
expansion of office staffs, plus replacement of workers in
various clerical positions results in a demand for new typists,
general office clerks, file clerks, payroll clerks, bookkeepers,
stenographers, and other important employees each year.
Requirements for Admission
Completion of Grade 10 is the minimum required for all
Office Careers programs, except for the stenography and
bookkeeper programs, where a Grade 11 minimum is required.
If you have been out of the school system for more than a year
you can have other factors, such as work experience and
maturity, taken into consideration.
How to Apply
Contact the Student Services office for an Office Careers
Information Kit, which contains all the necessary information for
application to the program. You must arrange an interview with
the coordinator of Office Careers before being accepted into any
program option.
Dates and Location of Program

University Transfer
Programs
The College ensures that credits earned in the University Transfer program transfer smoothly to other post-secondary institutions in British
Columbia and elsewhere.
A transfer guide is published in this catalogue (page 99) to help you plan a program that will meet the requirements of the University of
British Columbia, University of Victoria or Simon Fraser University. The transfer guide should be used in conjunction with the appropriate
university calendar.
Students planning to continue their educational program at another post-secondary Institution should make themselves fully aware of the
requirements of the Institution they wish to attend. Consult a college counsellor for assistance.

University regulations vary with respect to transfer of credits from provincial colleges and institutes. However, the following general
guidelines are observed by most transfer institutions:
1. No grades less than 'C' are assured of credit.
2. A cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.0 is required.
3. Credit may not be granted for courses passed if the semester grade-point average is less than 2.0.
4. Students must have completed a full first year (30 credits).
5. Students may not normally transfer more than 60 credits to a university unless that institution requires a heavier course load
in first or second year. For example, Honors Science students at UBC must take 18 units in first year.
COURSE LOAD
University Transfer courses at FVC are offered through a semester timetable. For a complete transfer program, full-time students normally
enrol in 5 courses each semester for a total of 10 courses during the academic year. This is equivalent to 15 credits per semester, or a total of
30 credits for the academic year. Because SFU is also on the semester system, 30 FVC credits are equal to 30 SFU credits. However, since
UBC and UVic are operated on a timetable system where 15 units are earned for one academic year offull-time study, 30 FVC credits are
equal to 15 UBC units or 15 UVic units.

Since the demands of University Transfer courses are heavy, you are strongly urged to adjust your course load to your academic ability,
study habits, and time commitments. Students are not encouraged to enrol in more than 15 credits each semester. Special permission is
needed to undertake more than 18 credits.

University of British Columbia
Faculty of Arts
To qualify for a Bachelor of Arts degree , a student must
complete 6 credits of work in science (which may include
Mathematics or Geography). Honors students, especially those
in English and History, should try to satisfy their science
requirement within the first two years of study.
All students proceeding to the Faculty of Arts must complete
6 FVC credits in literature in addition to two FVC English
courses at the 100-level or higher. This requirement can be met
by taking two English courses at the 200-level in the second year,
or Russian 251 and 252.
Students with French 11 and French 12, or the equivalent in a
foreign language, have met the language requirement of the
Faculty of Arts. Students with French 11 or the equivalent in a
foreign language must take one more year of the language at the
post-secondary level. Students lacking French 11 and French 12,
or the equivalent in a foreign language , must take two years of a
language other than English at the college or university level. It
is not mandatory to take a language in first year but the
requirement must be completed by the end of third year.

Anthropology
Today many people are questioning our way of life and looking
for ways to change it. As a result, they are looking to other
societies for solutions to our problems; for example, to Eastern
religions and to the North American Indians.

David Wyatt, B.A. (U. of Washington) , M.A., Ph.D. (Brown
University)
Colin Ridgewell, B.Sc. (Southampton) , M.A. , (S.F. U.)

Anthropology is a way of seeing possible changes for our
society by comparing it with others. A look at life in a Pueblo
village might help us deal with the problems of life in cities. A
look at the belief in gods and ghosts on the Pacific Island of
lfaluk helps clarify the pros and cons of becoming more or less
religious .
Anthropology has three major parts. Physical anthropology
studies man's origins by looking at the apes, monkeys, other
mammals, and the record of fossils. Archaeology studies past
societies by excavating what they left behind. Cultural
anthropology investigates ways of life (like those of African
tribesmen or Balinese peasants) quite unlike our own.
At Fraser Valley College, courses will acquaint students with
what anthropologists do (like excavating archaeological sites)
and with what they have discovered about other societies and our
own.

curing, and witchcraft.
Prerequisites: none.

Biology
Living things are unique in the universe in that they maintain
and even increase their levels of organization while everything
else around is in a constant state of decay. This requires
energy, and one of the fundamental underlying concepts
uniting the fantastic diversity of living forms is the need of a
constant supply of useable energy. One major area of biology is
involved with the study of how organisms act and interact with
themselves and their environment in procuring and using this
energy.

Ken Maclean, B.Sc., M.Sc. (S.F. U.)
Renee Martin, B.Sc., Ph.D. (U.B.C.)
Henry Speer, B.A. (San Francisco State}, M.A., Ph.D.
(Princeton)

Another area is concerned with the continuity of life from
generation to generation through mechanisms of inheritance and
adaptation that have built-in allowances for change.
So biology is an "earthy" science, one based on real-life
observations, and it is the science with the most immediate
impact on our lives. Certainly the tremendous growth of
biology in this century has changed the way we perceive our role
in the world. We are beginning to realize that we are but one of
millions of species, all tied together by a biochemistry that
reveals our common ancestry and destiny.

Chemistry
Although the branches of science are inter-related, chemistry is
defined as the study of the characterization, composition,
structure, and transformation of matter.

Peter Slade, B.Sc. (Southampton), M.Sc. (S.F. U.), Professional
Teaching Certificate (B. C. Dept. ofEducation)

Economics
The study of economics is based on the assumption that human
wants are limitless, while the resources to satisfy these wants are
scarce.

Diane Maclean, B.A. (S.F. U.)

It is obvious that when there are more wants than can be
satisfied with available resources, choices have to be made.
Economics, then, is the study of how these choices are made,
and perhaps more importantly, the impact of these choices.

Who makes these choices? Households do, in their roles as
consumers, employees, and investors. Businesses do, in their
roles as employers and producers.
Sometimes wants are expressed which cannot be satisfied in the
marketplace, and then the government is charged with satisfying
these wants. Wants sometimes conflict, and then the
government may serve as an arbitrator.
Conflicts could include disputes about a just distribution of
income, about adequate protection for consumers without
putting undue constraints upon producers, about good working
conditions for employees versus management rights.
Economists try to discover how these conflicts can be resolved
with an attempt at value-free assessment of the cost and benefits
to the conflicting .parties of various possible alternatives.

Economics 100: Introduction to Labor Economics and Labor
Relations 3 credits
This course, utilizing current Canadian topics in labor economics
and labor relations, will introduce you to the basic principles of

initiate an examination of collective bargaining. In regard to
labor relations, issues such as the role of government in labor
relations, the history of trade unionism in Canada, contract
administration, conflict and its resolution (i.e. the strike,
boycotts, work-to-rule, etc.) grievances and arbitration will be
studied and discussed.

firms to consumers, the composition of that flow, and the
evaluation or pricing of the component parts of that flow. It is
concerned, too, with the flow of productive resources (or their
services) from resource owners to business firms, and with their
evaluation , and allocation among alternative uses. Economic
models assuming perfect and imperfect competition are
compared. The role of government policy in effecting the
distribution of goods and services is also analyzed. Special
consideration is given to the application of microeconomic theory
to agricultural problems, trade unions and collective bargaining ,
and poverty and discrimination.

macro-variables such as interest rates, price levels, inflation
rates, employment levels and exchange rates are established. In
answering these questions, you will be required to apply the
theoretical tools and concepts studied to major policy issues
facing a contemporary developed economy, while at the same
time realizing the limitations of these theoretical tools and
concepts. Models to analyze the effects of government fiscal and
monetary policy will be systematically developed. Topics
affecting Canada today, such as inflation, unemployment,
growth, trade , and the banking system will also be debated.

Prerequisites: Economics 110 (preferably), or

"I don't see how the study of language and literature can be
separated from the question of free speech ... You're not free to
move unless you've learned to walk, and not free to play the
piano unless you practise. Nobody is capable of free speech

English courses at Fraser Valley College are designed to give
you a great deal of practice in writing, reading, and speaking the
language. English 100 aims to improve your clarity of thought
and expression, and to increase the speed and accuracy with
which you write and comprehend prose. All the other courses
study imaginative literature (poetry, fiction, drama) with a
threefold objective: students ought to learn something about
reading literature with an eye as sensitive to underlying themes
and structures as it is to the richness of surface detail; students
ought to learn something about talking about literature in
genuinely criticaf and constructive ways; and students ought to
learn something about writing about literature clearly and with
critical insight.
There are no prerequisites for entry to first-year English courses,
but you should make arrangements to take the English
Placement Test to guide you in your choice of a first English
course.
Students who are uncertain of their skills should take English 100
first, and if success seems open to question, they should take
advantage of the Learning Assistance Program.
Students who feel confident that they do not need English 100
would be wise to begin with English 110 or 140.
Education students should take two 100-level English courses,
one of which should be English 100. Second-year students take
two courses from English 201,202, 211, 212 or 220. English
majors should consider English 201 and 202 as basic to their
continuing studies. Two 100 level courses are prerequisite for
any 200 level course. Any exceptions must be by permission of
the English Department.

Film
· 'The cinema is capable of stirring the spectator as perhaps no
other art. But as no other art, it is also capable of stupefying
him". (Luis Bunuel)

Graham Dowden, B.Sc. (Queen's), B.A. (Bristol}, M.A.
(Queen's)

Anything will stupefy you if you submit to it passively.
The academic study of cinema is based on the idea that if you are
going to be stirred you need to make an active response, and that
responding to movies, like all creative activities, improves with
practice.
Film 110 and 120 are courses in film appreciation, not film
production. The object is to discover not how to make movies but
how to experience them as richly as possible by studying theme,
technique, theory, tradition, and so on.
Some classroom time will be spent viewing a selection of short
and feature-length films, and some will be devoted to lectures on
and discussions of the films and supporting textbooks. There will
be an opportunity to see films twice.

French
In a time when international airline flight speeds approach 2000
km per hour, the cliche of the "shrinking world" is ever more
timely.

Alan Cameron, B.A. (Hons.) (Calgary), M.A., Ph.D. (U.B.C.)

We must realize the significance of the increase in international
exchange of people, resources, and ideas. Central to this fact is
the need for multi-lingual Canadian resource personnel, a need
which is reflected by the increases in enrollment in language
programs.
More people are realizing the growing importance of learning
languages, since mankind's future lies in increased international
trade and cooperation.
At Fraser Valley College we recognize the essentially bicultural
Canadian weave within the multicultural fabric of Canada and so
offer courses in French, Russian, and German with hopes of
expansion to other areas.
Because of students' enthusiasm for the oral language, one
primary goal of our modern languages courses is to develop the
students' oral command of the language. We also introduce
cultural aspects of the language to help make it '' come alive''
within the human milieu in which it is spoken.

Geography
Geography is concerned with the study of the earth as the home
of humanity.
Geographers analyze elements of the physical world and
examine relationships between places in order to develop an
understanding of the pattern and nature of human society.

Don Tunstall, Teaching Certificate, (Ardmore, N.Z.), B.A.,
M.A . (U.B. C.)
Doug Nicol, B.A. (S.F. U.). M.A. (U. B. C.)

They ask: "How are mountain landscapes created?"; "How
have the world's religions spread throughout the world?" and
numerous other questions which lead their investigations in a
variety of directions.
The College offers a wide selection of courses in an attempt to
reflect this diversity of interests within the discipline.
Most of the courses follow a lecture/ discussion format, but
where possible, field activities are incorporated as integral parts
of each course.
The physical geography courses (Geography 101 and Geography

History
History is an art - and an exciting one at that, for it is open to
interpretation.

Jack Gaston, B.A . (U. Vic.). M .A .. Ph. D. (U. Sask.)
Robert L. Smith , B .A . (Notre Dame, Nelson). M .A. (U. Vic.)

When one realizes that the elements of history are human
behavior and the circumstances surrounding that behavior, and
that these elements are obscured by the passage of time, it is not
surprising that the investigation of an historical event may yield
several plausible accounts.
Through sifting the available evidence and thinking about it, the
student can attempt to reconstruct the grandeur of monarchy,
the affairs of a fur-trading company, or the grim realities of
peasant life.
Students, like historians, will differ in their views of past events.
History courses provide a forum for discussion and debate where
these differences can be explored with a view to reaching a more
complete understanding of the past.
It is also worth noting that an acquaintance with the past serves
to heighten one's awareness of the present.

The program introduces the student to those areas of history that
encompass the roots of our North American society. Above all,
the program provides an opportunity for the student to think and
write about the past and to consider how others view history.

Mathematics
The study of science has been, and is, mainly a study of the order
of our surroundings. Man is constantly striving to uncover the
underlying laws which seem to govern the behavior of his
environment.
Rather than attempting to explain the workings of the physical
world in terms of the propertie~ of that physical world, man has
developed a system of explanation in terms of abstract ideas.

Carollyne Guidera, B.Sc., M.Sc. (S.F. U.)
Eliagh Guidera, B.S., M .S. (U. of Calif. , Berkeley), Ph.D.
(S.F. U.)
Doug McDowell, B.Sc. (U. Vic.), M.Sc. (S.F. U.) , Perm. Prof
Cert. (B.C. Ministry ofEducation)
Linda Riva. B.Math .. M .Math. (Waterloo)

Since the world of abstract ideas seems as far removed from the
physical world as one can get, man has devised an ingenious way
to offer an explanation that is independent of the observed
phenomenon.
This system of abstract ideas based on observation is called
science, and its language is called mathematics.
The language of mathematics has a precise vocabulary and an
orderly structure. Because of its order this language is
compatible with the study of science - the very study of order.
Because of its order, this language has a subtle yet powerful
strength; at the same time, mathematics is beautiful and
delicate.
A confused mind will see confusion in the world, whereas an
orderly mind will perceive the beauty and simplicity of the order
that exists in the universe. The study of mathematics is an
opportunity to develop some order in your thinking processes,
an opportunity to infuse some organization into your life.

Math 101: Introduction to College Math I 4 credits
This course, followed by Math 102, is recommended for any
students planning to major in a science, engineering or
technology program who do not have the required Grade 12
prerequisite.

This course lays the foundations for moving into the realm of
calculus.
The necessary algebraic skills are covered (manipulation of
algebraic expressions, techniques for solving all kinds of
equations, etc.). And since calculus involves working with
functions, the specialized language , notation and concepts of
sets, relations and functions are introduced.
Prerequisites: Math 11
Math 102: Introduction to College Math II 4 credits
A continuation of Math 101, which looks specifically at
logarithmic, exponential and trigonometric functions.

Additional topics may include determinants, matrices, complex
numbers, or linear programming.

Topics covered will include logic, set theory, combinatories and
probability.
This course is particularly recommended for education students
for the perspective on mathematics that it will help to develop;
and for economics and commerce students as an excellent
preparation for statistics courses.
Prerequisites: Math 11 or Math 101/102
Math 104: Introductory Statistics 3 credits
An introduction to descriptive statistics, sampling, probability,
estimates, hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression.

This course does not involve mathematical proofs of the theory
involved (no calculus is required) but it does stress an intuitive
approach to why and when the procedures can be used.
It is recommended for commerce, education, and social science
students, or anyone else who wishes to develop the ability to
intelligently evaluate published statistical data.

Prerequisites: Math 11

Prerequisites: Math 101
Math 103: Finite Mathematics 3 credits
Finite mathematics is a collection of topics which are both
interesting and useful, chosen to capture your imagination. The
aim of this course is the development of the student through the
exercise of your ability to refine thought as a logical, progressive
process and the development of your conceptual ability from the
intuitive to the very structured level of thought.

Math 111: Calculus I 4 credits
The study of calculus represents a major step in your education.

Mathematics previous to this subject dealt with the description
of static or non-changing phenomena. During the latter part of
the 17th Century, Sir Isaac Newton developed a mathematical
description which deals with changing phenomena. This
mathematics of change is now called calculus.

69

Calculus I is offered to students who wish to develop further their
mathematical ability. This course is a requirement for most
first-year science programs.
Topics include: an intuitive approach to limits, the derivative,
derivatives of polynomials, trigonometric and inverse
trigonometric functions, the application of the derivative to
graphing, maximization and minimization, and related-rate
problems.
Prerequisites: Math 12

Math 212: Ordinary Differential Equations 4 credits
Whenever an investigator attempts to make a model of a system,
whether it is one from biology, physics, economics, sociology or
psychology, in most cases that mathematical model is in the form
of a differential equation.

This course examines some methods of solving certain types of
differential equations. Topics include: first-order differential
equations , applications of first-order differential equations,
linear differential equations, Laplace transformations, series
solutions.
Prerequisites: Math 211

Math 112: Calculus II 4 credits
In Calculus I we were concerned with the determination of the
characteristics of change of a given quantity. In Calculus II
change is examined in the opposite manner: if we know the
changing characteristics of a quantity, can we determine what
that quantity is?

Topics include: derivatives of exponential and logarithmic
functions, the indefinite and definite integral, techniques of
integration, application of the definite integral to various
problems such as areas, volumes and surfaces of revolution.
Prerequisites: Math 111

Math 211: Calculus m 4 credits
The concepts of Calculus I and II are here extended to cover more
general cases. This generalization enables one to attack a much
larger class of problems.

the previous three in that more attention is paid here to proofs of
important theorems. Topics include: sequences and series,
convergence tests, vector calculus, integral theorems.

Prerequisites: Math 211 (Math 221 is also preferred)
Math 214: Analysis 4 credits
This course provides a first contact with a more analytic (careful)
approach to many of the themes used in the calculus. Topics
include: induction; limits of sequences and functions; continuous
and differentiable functions.

Prerequisites: Math 211 (Math 221 is also preferred)
Math 221: Algebra I 4 credits
This linear algebra course offers an introduction to the unique
strength of mathematics. Most of the course content is related to
matrices and vector spaces.

The approaches used reflect the flexibility of mathematics:
powerful, general results are derived, using algebraic methods,
and then applied to specific problems.

In particular the calculus of one variable is extended to cover the
calculus of many variables.

At other times the process is reversed and specific problems are
used to motivate and develop far-reaching results.

Topics include: solid analytic geometry; partial derivatives and
applications, multiple integration.

The course is needed by anyone thinking about a mathematics or
physics degree. It is useful to anyone who enjoys thinking.

Philosophy
The purpose of philosophy is to enable us to think well about the
most important questions in our lives: What do I want to
accomplish with my life? Does my life have any purpose? Do I
live in a just society? Does God really exist? How should I treat
others?

Paul Herman, B.A. (U. of Calif., Santa Barbara)

Obviously, philosophers are not the only ones who ask such
questions. It is difficult to imagine anyone who has not asked a nd
attempted to answer such questions.
The only way we can be satisfied with our answers is to find them
for ourselves. We cannot do so by memorizing the ideas of others
or by being intimidated by the 'wisdom of the ages'. We must
learn to think clearly and creatively for ourselves.
In order to think clearly, philosophy teaches methods for
analyzing problems and looking for solutions that avoid basic
mistakes in reasoning. These methods can be applied to any
problem or question.
In order to think creatively, philosophy examines some of the
outstanding original ideas of past and present so that we can
discover where our present ideas originated, and so that we can
use these ideas as a starting point for our thinking.
Since Socrates, the founder of Western Philosophy, was forced to
drink hemlock by the citizens of A thens in 399 B. C. , philosophy
has had a subversive reputation because it asks the sort of
questions that make people think for themselves.
The reputation is well deserved.

Philosophy 100: Reasoning: The Essential Human Activity
3 credits
Have you ever been unable to figure out why someone ' s
reasoning wasn't quite right? Have you ever had your own
cherished reasoning demolished by someone? Have your essays ,
exams, or Jab reports ever been torn apart for being illogical?

If so, you need this course.
Good reasoning is the basis for successful thinking and action .
Good methods of reasoning help us to examine an issue or
problem, to analyze it, to assess various solutions, and to
understand how to find the correct answer.
In order to detect and avoid errors in our reasoning, we will
examine fallacies of reasoning, different forms of argument, the
concepts of truth and validity, proof and evidence, consistency
and contradiction, definition and generalization , deduction and
induction .
Throughout the course, we will apply our methods of reasoning
to various issues , both practical and theoretical.
Prerequisites: None
Philosophy 110: Morality and Politics 3 credits
There have always been conflicts between individuals, and
between social organizations and the individuals who compose
them. What is the nature and source of these conflicts? Are they
due to human nature? What rights and obligations do individuals
have? What rights and obligations do social organizations , such
as the state, a trade union, the family, have to their members?
What are justice and freedom?

These questions, and the answers offered by classic and
contemporary authors such as Plato, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau,
Mill, Marx, will be examined in lectures, films, discussion, and
writing.
Prerequisites: None
Philosophy 120: Knowledge and Reality 3 credits
Many of the traditional problems and arguments in philosophy
can be viewed as dealing with the nature of human individuality.

Individuality is acclaimed as one of the great achievements of
Western civilization. The progress of civilization has often been
measured by how much individuality is allowed to flourish. What
is individuality? What makes me an unique individual?
In order to begin answering these questions, further questions
need to be asked : When do I have free will to express my
individuality? ¥hat is the relationship between my physical
nature - my body - and my spiritual nature - my mind? Am I
really anything more than a complicated, thinking machine?
What happens to me when I die?
Lectures, films, classic and contemporary reading, supplement
discussion and writing.
Prerequisites: None
NOTE: Students who took Philosophy 100 prior to 1978 cannot
receive further credit by taking Philosophy 120.
Philosophy 130: Philosophy of Law 3 credits
Our legal and penal systems are often severely criticized. We can
better understand these criticisms and the issues they raise ifwe
can answer a number o~ philosophical questions about the nature
of law, punishment, and responsibility.

Why do we have laws? What is a Law: is it made only by
legislature, or by judges, too?
What is the relationship of the law to morality: should the law
enforce morality?
When is a person responsible for an act and thus legally liable to
punishment? Why do we punish criminals: to deter crime, to
rehabilitate the criminal, to' 'pay back" the criminal? Is it ever
justified to break the law?
These questions will be examined through classic and
contemporary reading in the philosophy of law, lectures, films,
discussions, and writing.
Prerequisites: None

Physics
Did you ever ask yourself "Why does a rock fall?"
Great physicists from Newton to Einstein have been curious
about commonplace events. Their theories of space, time and
matter began with such simple questions as ''Why does an apple
fall? " and "Why does a magnet pull?" and "What makes a
wave move?"

Sa/ah Elkateb, B .Sc. (Aims Shams University, Cairo), M .Sc.
(Cairo University), Ph.D. (U.B. C.)

A sense of wonder has been characteristic of many artists and
scientists. A mood of wonder is a proper one in which to begin
the study of physics.
One good reason for studying physics is to satisfy our curiosity
about nature. We want to see "what happens" and "why".
A good way to find out why things behave as they do is to
perform an experiment. Experimenting means "controlling" or
keeping fixed every possible factor except the one you are trying
to study.
Now it happens that in physics the laws and regularities of
nature stand out more clearly than in many other sciences. In
physics, you will develop a feeling for the order of magnitude of
physical quantities in real experiments. In your physics class you
will learn how to observe nature closely.
The physics laboratory is a place where rather simple skills are
required, and the emphasis is on the interpretation of results
rather than measurement for its own sake.
In physics we study the more basic ideas about space, time,
motion, matter and energy. In a sense, physics is the most basic
of all the natural sciences.
To give you an idea of what physics is about, here are some of the
topics studied in the usual introductory physics course:
mechanics (how things move and how forces cause them to move
or to be at rest); sound (vibrations and waves; musical
instruments); light (nature and behavior of light; lenses and
prisms); electricity and magnetism (electric charges; circuits;
electronics); and atomic and nuclear physics (radioactivity, atom
smashing, nuclear power, cosmic rays).

Political Science
Politics is the activity by which a community determines the
direction in which it wants to move and develop, the kinds of
behavior it wants to encourage or discourage, the range of
experiences it wants to facilitate or exclude; in a phrase, politics
is the way we construct our collective ''home''.

Scott Fast, B.A. (U. of Washington), M.A. (U.B.C.)

This is a matter of no small importance.
The hope of politics is to create a home comfortable and secure,
an environment which uplifts us and allows for personal growth,
a space which entices us to be our best selves, a place we can
enjoy and love.
Our fear is that we are stuck in a world where human life is
"solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short".
Political science attempts to study what is possible for man, and
the public proce!.ses and institutions through which we seek to
realize those possibilities. Thus, political science is the study of
ends: happiness, freedom, prosperity, security; and political
science is also the study of means: public law and authority,
policy-making and administration, interest groups and political
parties, political power and compromise, political action and
public participation, political leadership and public opinion.

Credit Program

Scott Fast, B.A. (U. Washington), M.A. (U.B. C.)
Rory Wallace, B.A . (S.F. U.), M.Litt. (Edinburgh)

Power and Knowledge is a multi-disciplinary approach to the
study of our struggle to make sense of life and give order to our
world. When we examine various societies in history, we
When we examine various societies in history, we invariably find
that this fundamental quest for order is expressed
simultaneously in art, literature, mythology, religion,
philosophy, science, and in social, economic and political
structures.
In literature we share each other's personal encounter with
existence; in art and mythology we find the symbolic
expression of the ideals and agonies of each age; in philosophy
we observe descriptions of knowledge and the application of that
knowledge in life and the community; and in politics we can see
the way in which relations of power and influence structure
the future with a view to conservation or change.
When we look at these societies, we also find that the political
and economic structure dominates the context in which
individuals and the community come to express their hopes and
fears, give meaning to their lives, and seek to transform their
social and natural environments according to their
understanding of themselves and their needs. We know that an
individual's understanding of life and the world is a function of
that person's experience and that the activities which constitute
that experience are in turn a function of the given social, political
and economic order. Thus the unifying theme of the program is
the relation between power and knowledge (or consciousness),
time and change.
It is our belief that art, literature, philosophy, human

consciousness and politics are not easily separable now , and
were not in the past. It is hoped that through a program of this
nature, students will develop an integrated cultural awareness
not available through more conventional modes of study.
Upon completion, the program offers university transfer credit
for six specific courses drawn from the disciplines of Philosophy,
Art History , Political Science, and English Literature. The
program is equivalent, then, in transfer credit and work load to
six regular classes (three each semester) and represents 60% of
a typical full-time curriculum. The only prerequisite is the
successful completion of English 100, and this may be waived in
special cases where writing ability is deemed sufficient.
The offering of Power and Knowledge is contingent upon student
interest.

Psychology
Psychology is concerned primarily with understanding human
behavior.
This requires consideration of such things as biological and
physiological bases of behavior as well as of emotional,
motivational and social aspects of behavior.

Valerye A. Hunt , M.A .. Ph.D. (U.B. C.)
Ronald C. Laye, M.Sc .. Ph.D. (Alberta)
Astrid Stec, B.A. (Hons .) (Toronto), M.A. (U.B. C.)

There is no single approach to understanding human behavior
but psychologists have developed a number of theories and
concepts to explain various aspects of behavior.
A student interested in answers to such questions as "What
makes people tick?" or "How will psychology help me lead a
better life?'' will not find a simple psychological descriptions or
prescriptions but rather a deeper, more comprehensive
appreciation of the various viewpoints held by different
psychologists.

Religious Studies
"A little philosophy" wrote Francis Bacon, "inclineth man's
mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds
about to religion".
Every society has developed ethical and moral systems, and in
every society individuals ponder their relationship with the
universe and the infinite.
To understand these impulses, we study myths, rituals, symbols
and languages in the religious context. The studies are made
more vivid by field trips to various places of worship, and
intensified by marathons that zero in on the particular religion
being studied.

Russian
In an epoch when international airline flight speeds _approach
2000 km per hour, the cliche of the "shrinking world" is ever
more timely.

Alan Cameron, B.A. (Hons.) (Calgary), M.A., Ph.D. (U.B.C.)

We must realize the significance of the increase in international
exchange of people, resources, and ideas. Central to this fact is
the need for multi-lingual Canadian resource personnel, a need
which is reflected by the increases in enrollment in language
programs.
More people are realizing the growing importance of learning
languages, since mankind's future lies in increased international
trade and co-operation.
At Fraser Valley College we recognize the essentially bicultural
Canadian weave within the multicultural fabric of Canada and so
offer courses in French, Russian, and German, with hopes of
expansion to other areas.
Because of students' enthusiasm for the oral language, one
primary goal of our modern languages courses is to develop the
students' oral command of the language. We also introduce
cultural aspects of the language to help make it "come alive"
within the human milieu in which it is spoken.

Russian 101: Russian Language I 3 credits
Introduces the Russian language by intensively studying the
case system and other key grammatical concepts, using various

aspects of language; the oral approach places considerable
emphasis on Russian prononciation.

Prerequisites: None

Sociology
If you have ever wondered why people sometimes do things they
"don't want to do" or don't do things they' 'want to'', sociology
may be for you.

K evin Busswood, B.A. (Hons.) (U.B. C.)
Colin Ridgewell, B.Sc. (Southampton), M .A. (S.F. U.)

If you have ever wondered why one out of every five Canadians is
"poor", sociology may be for you.
If you have ever wondered what it was about the 60's which
caused women to begin questioning their traditional place,
sociology may be for you.

Sociology offers, above all, some different and deeper ways of
understanding ourselves, our communities, and the human
world.
•'Sociologists approach the explanation of phenomena or
problems by seeking causes for them in the facts of people's
membership of social groups and in the ways in which these
groups are related to each other". (Coulson & Riddell, 1970)

Sociology 101: Introductory Sociology I 3 credits
An analysis of the basic concepts, methods and theoretical

Sociology 220: The Roles of Women 3 credits
Changes in social structure are often reflected in changes in the
roles of groups. This is perhaps most prominent today in the
re-assessment of women's roles - and of roles that are ceasing to
be defined by sex at all. This course examines these changes and
also involves students in an attempt to analyze possible future
trends.

Prerequisites: None
Sociology 230: Institutions and Social Change 3 credits
This course begins from the premise that we, as members of a
society, spend virtually all of our lives working (and playing)
within a variety of institutional structures. From birth through
infancy, childhood, adulthood and old age, our lives and
consciousness are shaped - molded - by various social forces.
Understanding how family and work affect our lives requires
both an examination of our relationship to these institutions, and
some notion of their historical development. The course will
focus on the "family" and the "work place " with some attention
paid to religious, educational and other "socializing" agencies.

Prerequisites: Sociology 101 and 102
