WESTERN/FANSHAWE COMBINED DEGREE/DIPLOMA IN MEDIA THEORY AND PRODUCTION - admission discontinued
Faculty of Information and Media Studies - Media, Information and Technoculture
Registration in this program is discontinued. Students enrolled in the program as of September 1, 2016 will be allowed to graduate upon fulfilling all requirements of the program by August 31, 2021.
Admission Requirements
Completion of all first year requirements with no failures. Students must have an average of at least 68% in 5.0 courses, with a mark of at least 65% in each of Media, Information and Technoculture 1020E or Media, Information and Technoculture 1021F/G and Media, Information and Technoculture 1022F/G, and Media, Information and Technoculture 1025F/G. At least 1.0 course must be selected from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities or the Faculty of Science.
Module/Program Information
Structure of the Program
In the first year of the program, students must be formally admitted to the Faculty of Information and Media Studies in the Media Theory and Production (MTP) program.
Approximately forty students will be admitted to second year of the MTP program. Students will be evaluated for admission based on their academic standing by FIMS. Academic standing is the best indicator of success for this type of program so portfolios or supplementary application forms are not required. Entry to the program is competitive by stream. Attainment of the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission.
In the second, third, and fourth years, students are registered in the collaborative program and are registered in courses at both institutions. Upon successful completion of the collaborative program, students will receive both a BA in Media, Information and Technoculture from Western and a diploma from Fanshawe College in their chosen stream.
MTP is not designed to be “equal” with MIT. It is a unique program which allows students to complete a Fanshawe diploma and a BA (three year) degree from Western at the same time. MTP is not part of the modular structure at Western and must be completed within a prescribed timeframe. MTP cannot be combined with other modules, such as minors, double majors or certificate programs.
The MTP Program is designed for students who want to have a solid academic background along with a particular media-related skill set. The intent of the program is to allow graduates to move into media-related areas of employment upon completion of the degree and diploma. As such, the MTP program is not an entry mechanism to university-level graduate programs.
Note: Students who entered the program prior to September 1, 2015-2016 should consult the Academic Calendar in the year in which they were admitted to the program for their program requirements. Past Academic Calendars can be viewed at http://www.westerncalendar.uwo.ca/Calendars.html.

Progression
Progression and Graduation Requirements
Once admitted to second year of the collaborative program, students must meet progression and graduation requirements for both the degree and diploma programs. To progress in the degree portion of the collaborative program, students must attain at least a 68% average in each academic session. In addition, students must achieve a minimum overall weighted average of 68% in all degree-credit courses being used towards the MTP program requirements.
Note: Students in the MTP program are not required to fulfill University breadth requirements for graduation purposes. This exemption does not, however, apply to Honours Bachelor degrees, and students who intend to upgrade to Honours are strongly recommended to complete the breadth requirement within their MTP program.
Failure to Meet Progression or Graduation Requirements
A student who fails to meet the progression requirements in any year must withdraw from the program. Students who fail to meet the progression requirements for the MTP Program may select an alternate degree program at Western provided they have met the admission average and have successfully completed any prerequisites. Students wishing to withdraw from MTP and apply for an MIT module may submit an application to transfer for one of the 10 spots available for senior Western students. Spaces are limited and there is no guarantee that transferring into MIT will be an option. Students who would like to continue in the diploma program should consult with Fanshawe about the possibility of transferring. Credit is not transferable to other faculties or programs should the student fail to meet the MTP progression/graduation requirements. The four Fanshawe streams in the program will make similar accommodations so that students have sufficient courses to achieve the Diploma in each stream. Students who are considering a complete withdrawal from the MTP Program are expected to meet with Academic Counselling staff in FIMS and Fanshawe to ensure that the appropriate paperwork is submitted for both institutions.
Dean's Honour List
MTP students will be considered for the Dean's Honour List in all years of the collaborative program. Adjudication will be based on having an overall 80% average on all courses taken within the academic year (September – April) and enrollment in the prescribed courseload for MTP at Fanshawe.
Graduation "With Distinction"
Students who have achieved an overall average of 80% with no grade lower than 70% on the entire program with no failed courses will receive the designation "With Distinction".
