1.1 Greetings from the Vice-Principal Academic and Dean

Welcome to the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC)! In joining UTSC you’ll take your place among Canada’s future leaders. As part of the University of Toronto, which is widely recognized as Canada’s top university, and also one of the best public research universities in the world, UTSC offers a unique opportunity for students seeking an exceptional learning experience in a supportive community environment.

UTSC undergraduate programs are unique at the wider University for their combination of rigorous academic learning and hands-on experience. Through meaningful volunteer opportunities, stimulating field courses and eye-opening international exchanges, you receive a first-hand understanding of what you are learning in the classroom, and how it applies to the world. For even more experience in your chosen field, you can apply to one of our many innovative Co-op programs, which provide invaluable knowledge from experts working in your program of study while you create your professional network.

Leading researchers at the cutting edge of their fields bring fresh thinking and current knowledge from industry and academia into the classroom. Ambitious students can contribute to research teams in search of the next big breakthrough or experience meaningful and relevant work placements with some of Canada’s top employers.

We invite you to look through this undergraduate academic Calendar with a view towards both choosing programs that will allow you to progress through your degree, as well as the courses that will allow you to progress through your program(s), and gaining a sense of the extraordinary breadth of learning opportunities on offer at UTSC.
