SPECIALIST (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY (SCIENCE) - SCSPE1203C

Academic Program Supervisor/Advisor: molecular-biology-biotechnology@utsc.utoronto.ca
Co-op Program Coordinator: coopsuccess.utsc@utoronto.ca

The Molecular Biology and Biotechnology program strives to help students construct a broad foundation of knowledge across the major disciplines of biology in the first two years of study, and combine this knowledge with an increasingly analytical and reflective approach to learning. Upon this base, students deepen their knowledge of biological processes that occur at the cellular and molecular level through course work of their third and fourth years. This is a laboratory-rich program that integrates an understanding of chemical and physical processes with our complex biological systems. Because of broad training in biology and rigorous cross-training in cognate disciplines, graduates are well-positioned to apply to professional and graduate schools or work in a broad range of government regulatory agencies, clinical or research-focused industries and other careers that require the union of strong analytical and technical skills.

The co-op option of the Molecular Biology and Biotechnology program complements and punctuates academic course work with full-time work terms in research laboratories, government, health care, or in public or private industry. These work terms help students define and refine their career and/or professional school goals. For information on fees, status in Co-op programs, and certification of completion of Co-op programs, see the Co-operative Programs section and the Arts and Science Co-op section in the UTSC Calendar.

SPECIALIST (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN NEUROSCIENCE - Cellular/Molecular Stream (SCIENCE) - SCSPE1272C

Academic Program Advisor: psychundergrad.utsc@utoronto.ca
Co-op Program Coordinator: coopsuccess.utsc@utoronto.ca

The Specialist program in Neuroscience is a research-intensive program designed to provide students with strong breadth in the major domains of neuroscience, as well as an opportunity to intensively focus on one of three streams. The Cellular/Molecular stream explores the nervous system at its most fundamental level, investigating the influence of genes, signaling molecules, and cellular morphology on the development and maintenance of brain function, predominantly through the use of in vitro techniques (e.g., immunohistochemistry, patch clamp).

This is a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program that combines academic studies with paid work terms in the public, private, and/or non-profit sectors. The program provides students with the opportunity to develop the academic and professional skills required to pursue employment in these areas, or to continue on to graduate training in an academic field related to Neuroscience upon graduation.

In addition to their academic course requirements, students must successfully complete the additive Arts & Science Co-op Work Term Preparation courses and a minimum of three Co-op work terms.

Enrolment in the Program is limited, and takes place in two stages.

Stage 1:
Students may apply to Stage 1 after successfully completing a minimum of 4.0 credits, including the following courses: BIOA01H3, BIOA02H3, CHMA10H3, [CHMA11H3 or CHMA12H3], PSYA01H3, and PSYA02H3. Students must have a CGPA of 2.75 or higher to be admitted to the program. Application for admission will be made to the Office of the Registrar through ACORN, during the Limited Program application periods. When applying, note that the Subject POSt code for Co-op Stage 1 is SCSPE1072C. For more information on applying to limited enrolment programs, please visit the Office of the Registrar website.

Stage 2:
To complete the program, students must choose one of the three available streams. Students who have successfully met the enrolment requirements of their chosen stream will be admitted to the Specialist Neuroscience Stage 2 category. Application for admission to a Stage 2 stream will be made to the Office of the Registrar through ACORN, during the Limited Program application periods.

Before applying to their chosen stream, students must:

1. Complete a minimum of 10.0 credits including all Stage 1 course requirements, [MATA29H3 or MATA30H3], and the Neuroscience Foundations courses which include BIOB10H3, NROB60H3, NROB61H3, [PSYB07H3 or STAB22H3], PSYB55H3, PSYB70H3;

2. Complete 1.0 credit in Stream Foundations courses from the following list*:

SPECIALIST (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT - Entrepreneurship Stream (BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION) - SCSPE2432R

Academic Director: S. Ahmed E-mail: mgmtss@utsc.utoronto.ca
Assistant Director: P. Brown E-mail: mgmtcoop@utsc.utoronto.ca

The Specialist (Co-operative) Program in Strategic Management is a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program that combines academic studies with paid work terms in public and private enterprises. Depending on their needs and abilities, students work in areas such as accounting, public administration, auditing, communications, economic development, finance, human resources/personnel, information systems, marketing, policy, strategic planning and entrepreneurship.

At its most fundamental level, effective strategic management is about understanding and successfully managing strategic interactions with other firms and individuals. Strategic interactions take place whenever our fortunes depend not only on our own actions, but also on the actions of our rivals (and vice versa). In these instances, our optimal actions – and those of our partners and competitors - are inextricably connected. How should we think about these interactions and formulate an action plan?

The Specialist Program in Strategic Management - which includes a Management Strategy Stream and an Entrepreneurship Stream - will give students the skills to address this essential question. Integrating tools from economics and other management disciplines, students will gain a profound understanding of business and corporate strategy and their sub-disciplines, and/or entrepreneurship.

Overall, as a Strategic Management specialist students will develop an ability to identify, simplify, and analyze highly complex business problems, to strategize implementable solutions, and to articulate the key elements of their strategic reasoning in a simple, compelling and engaging way to a non-expert audience. Indeed, the strategic mindset that students will gain from this specialty will help them successfully navigate the stormy waters of business, whether they plan a career as a management consultant, economic consultant, manager in private-sector, public sector and non-profit organizations, investment banker, or entrepreneur. Both streams have a non-co-op and a co-op component. Co-op students should see the section regarding work term requirements for specific details on courses required before each work term.

Enrolment Requirements

Enrolment in this Program is limited.

1. Students applying directly from high school are admitted on the basis of academic performance. They must have completed Grade 12 English and Grade 12 Calculus.

2. Students requesting admission after the first year must request ONLY ONE Management Co-op Subject POSt on ACORN. Students may apply at the end of the Winter semester and/or at the end of the Summer semester. Application for admission will be considered only for the round during which the student has made the Subject POSt request.

The minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for Program admission is calculated for each application period, and is based on University of Toronto courses only. Normally, the minimum CGPA requirement for Co-op Programs will be higher than for non Co-op Programs. Decisions are made when all grades have been received.

Applicants must submit a resume and covering letter to the Management Co-op Office during the limited Subject POSt request period outlined on the Office of the Registrar's website. For information on what to include in your resume and covering letter, visit the Management Co-op website. An interview may also be required.

CGPA Requirement to Remain in the Program
Students whose CGPA falls below 2.5 will be placed on probation; Students whose CGPA falls below 2.3 will be removed from Co-op, and students whose CGPA falls below 2.0 will be removed from all BBA programs. A student may request reinstatement to the non Co-op Specialist Program only if they complete at least 2.0 credits (none of which can be designated as CR/NCR) in the following session and raise their CGPA to at least 2.0. This opportunity will be provided only once.

Most internal admissions to Management Co-op will be done at the end of the Winter semester. Based on availability, a small number of students who apply at the end of the Summer semester may be admitted.

Program Requirements
Students must complete the program requirements as described in the Specialist Program in Strategic Management.

To compete for a work term a student must maintain a 2.5 CGPA, and must have completed:

1. For the first work term:
a) 7.0 credits, including: MGEA02H3, MGEA06H3, MGAB01H3, MGAB02H3, MGHA12H3, MGMA01H3, MGTA38H3, and MATA34H3. However, [[MATA29H3 or MAT30H3 or MATA31H3 or (MATA32H3)] and [(MATA33H3) or MATA35H3 or MATA36H3 or MATA37H3]] may also be used to satisfy the calculus requirement.
b) The Management Co-op Advancing Your Career Exploration (AYCE): [COPB11H3 and COPB12H3] or COPB10Y3.

2. For the second work term: 9.0 credits.

3. For the third work term: 11.0 credits.
