Musing about master's degrees...

electriclandOK, so should I head for a master's in planning, I have once again missed the deadline for most schools (York being the happy exception... although my dad, who once taught there, has been making negative muttering noises about their faculty for some time now. But their program looks v. self-guided and cool. OTOH, do I need something self-guided? I know very little about this field).
Cities I'd quite like to be in, left to right:
Vancouver - UBC
Toronto - U of T, York
Kingston (maybe... well, it's closer to Toronto than I am now anyway) - Queen's
Montreal - McGill (quite miss McGill) -- plus U de M has one if I were feeling adventurous enough to start a degree in another language, which I'm not especially
Halifax - Dal
There are others near Toronto, such as Waterloo. But I dunno. There's one in Calgary too, but I've been to Calgary.
Ponder, ponder.
On the whole, probably best to focus my efforts on those that claim they only care about your final year GPA, since my GPA from the penultimate year really does not bear thinking about.
The thought of digging up academic references is grim and terrifying... still, as I was saying to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crankygrrl, I can't have alienated all my profs, can I?

Date: 2003-03-11 09:07 pm (UTC)UVic isn't mentioned on the Canadian Institute of Planners site (http://www.cip-icu.ca/English/home.htm), so I'm guessing no, or at least if they do it's not accredited by CIP. A shame, because it sounds really nice. Mind you, accreditation is presumably not the be-all and end-all. And I'd quite like to be at a SMALLER university just for a change...
Hm. Pesky B average in final 2 years of undergrad required. Wonder if they average them together? -- I might be OK there...
...but it doesn't look like they have any programs that really call out to me unfortunately.
