 +I like the idea of adding AofAs to our menu - but perhaps keep it open in the event that a student wants to explore something outside of our streams.

   - Could we offer the AoA for some areas as a post-graduate diploma?  The AofA itself could be offered as a 1-year graduate diploma, for students who already have a degree in CS or similar (from another institution)?  This might be especially appealing for topics like HCI or Entrepreneurship.   - Could we offer the AoA for some areas as a post-graduate diploma?  The AofA itself could be offered as a 1-year graduate diploma, for students who already have a degree in CS or similar (from another institution)?  This might be especially appealing for topics like HCI or Entrepreneurship.
 +  - What about developing a week long or two week long intensive course that would be similar in nature to the GeoEpi course offered in OVC. That is, Vets, Lawyers, Doctors, and grad students take the course (and it's a good source of income for the OVC, at least I think it is). This could be in several areas - but data science seems to make some good sense to me. 
   - Regardless of the the choice we make, the coop stream will have to be modified to include at least one summer semester of teaching to offset a winter coop term. This will have to be applied to all programs equally, to maximize the number of students capable of doing coop.    - Regardless of the the choice we make, the coop stream will have to be modified to include at least one summer semester of teaching to offset a winter coop term.

   - Is there any reason that we cannot offer summer programs as 6 week courses?   - Is there any reason that we cannot offer summer programs as 6 week courses?
