Faculty Annual Report

StFX supports faculty members, departments, or schools in developing new academic credentials that are responsive to the needs of the local and broader communities.  This Guide to Creating New Academic Programs and Credentials, approved by University Senate in February 2025, guides interested parties through the steps required to create new offerings. 

The Guidelines apply to the following for-credit credentials:

• New undergraduate or graduate degrees.
• New fields of specialization (e.g., majors, advanced majors, or honours) within existing degrees.
• New areas of specialization within a degree that does not offer a major (e.g., BEd in Secondary Education) that will be recognized on the transcript .
• Introduction of a joint major (or equivalent) if one or more fields of the joint major is not already approved within the degree.
• New Diplomas: undergraduate, post baccalaureate, or graduate.
• New stand-alone Certificates: undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, or graduate (i.e., certificates that are earned independent of a degree).
• New undergraduate or graduate certificates that are earned within another degree (i.e., embedded in the degree) if they comprise 30 credits or more at the undergraduate level or 15 credits or more at the graduate level.

People considering new programs should also consult these frameworks, developed by the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission. The frameworks outline the definitions, structure, and goals for various degrees, diplomas, and certificates.
