SPECIALIST (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT - Management Strategy Stream (BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION) - SCSPE2432P

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.

Course Guidelines for Students Admitted to B.B.A. Co-op Programs Directly from High School
Students must complete the following courses in their first year of study: MGEA02H3, MGEA06H3, MATA34H3, MGAB01H3, MGAB02H3, MGHA12H3, MGMA01H3 and MGTA38H3.

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.

Students must have completed the following courses (or their equivalent): MGEA02H3, MGEA06H3, and MATA34H3. However, [[MATA29H3 or MATA30H3 or MATA31H3 or (MATA32H3)] and [(MATA33H3) or MATA35H3 or MATA36H3 or MATA37H3]] may also be used to satisfy the calculus requirement. None of the courses listed above (or their equivalent) can be designated as CR/NCR. Of the total credits that students have completed when they apply, at least 4.0 credits must be in University of Toronto courses that have been graded (i.e., not designated as CR/NCR). Students may apply until they have completed up to 10.0 credits. Students who have completed more than 10.0 credits will not be considered for admission to the Program.

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.

Co-op Work Term Requirements
All Co-op students must take MGTA38H3 prior to the commencement of their first work term. Students are advised to consult regularly with the Academic Director, or the Program Advisor if they have questions regarding course selection and scheduling. It is, however, the student's individual responsibility to ensure that they have completed the correct courses to make them eligible for each work term and that they have correctly completed program and degree requirements for graduation.

Students who apply after the first year and are successful in receiving a June offer to any Management Co-op program will be expected to complete a Co-op Advancing Your Career Exploration (AYCE) course beginning in the third week of June, and continuing throughout the summer.

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, MATA34H3. However, [[MATA29H3 or MATA30H3 or MATA31H3 or (MATA32H2)] 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.

SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN ARTS MANAGEMENT - Field Placement Stream (ARTS) - SCSPE1180

ACM Program Manager: acm-pa@utsc.utoronto.ca

While a majority of the academic work in the program is based on the not-for-profit arts model, the skills that UTSC’s arts management students develop are transferable skills: critical thinking, organizational development, marketing, fundraising, public relations and public policy can be applied to many fields, and graduates may eventually opt to work in for-profit cultural industries such as commercial music, film and television, or even non-arts sectors that require similar abilities. For further information, please visit the Arts Management website.

The Field Placement Stream of the program is designed to enhance the students’ understanding of Arts Management through substantial exposure to its practice in a minimum of two 300-hour not-for-credit placements.

Enrolment Requirements
Enrolment in the program is limited and entry is competitive. Admissions are granted on the basis of applicants' academic performance, background in one or more of the arts, and demonstrated interest and potential ability in Arts Management as discerned through an interview. For the Field Placement Stream, students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, both overall and in Arts Management-specific courses.

Program Requirements
This program requires the completion of a total of 15.0 credits. Students complete a core of 6.0 credits in Arts Management courses, 1.5 credits in Management courses, 6.0 credits in one or more arts discipline(s), and 1.5 credits specific to either the Standard Stream or the Field Placement Stream.

Students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA), both overall and in Arts Management-specific courses: 2.5 for the Standard Stream and 3.0 for the Field Placement Stream.

SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN COMPUTER SCIENCE - Information Systems Stream (SCIENCE) - SCSPE0455

Supervisor of Studies: R. Pancer (416-287-7679) Email: pancer@utsc.utoronto.ca

Program Objectives
This program provides a working knowledge of the foundations of computer science: modern computer software and hardware, theoretical aspects of computer science, and relevant areas of mathematics and statistics. It also imparts an appreciation of the discipline's transformative impact on science and society. The program prepares students for further study and for careers in the computing industry. It comprises four streams with different emphases:

The Information Systems Stream has a similar focus as the Software Engineering Stream, but it provides additional exposure to certain aspects of business management. It is of special interest to students wishing to pursue careers in technical management but who have a deep interest in the technology.

The structure of the program requirements allows one to easily switch streams until relatively late in the program. Consequently, these streams should not be viewed as rigidly separated channels feeding students to different career paths, but as a flexible structure that provides computer science students guidance in their course selection based on their broad (but possibly fluid) interests.

Enrolment Requirements

Enrolment in the Specialist in Computer Science (all streams) is limited. Students may apply to enter the program after completing 4.0 credits, and must meet the requirements described below:

1. Students already admitted to the UTSC Year 1 Computer Science admissions category:

Required Courses:

Students must have passed the following CSC and MAT courses: CSCA08H3, CSCA48H3, [CSCA67H3 or MATA67H3], MATA22H3, MATA31H3, and MATA37H3.

Required Grades:

Students that meet all of the following requirements will be admitted to a CS Specialist POSt*:
a. A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 2.5 over the following courses: CSCA48H3, CSC/MATA67H3, MATA22H3, MATA31H3, and MATA37H3;

SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN CONSERVATION AND BIODIVERSITY (SCIENCE) - SCSPE1150

Supervisor Email: biodiversity@utsc.utoronto.ca

This program presents a foundation for understanding how ecology and evolution shape organismal features (from morphology and physiology to behaviour) and the structure and function of communities and ecosystems. Ultimately these processes determine the broad patterns of organization of life on earth and biodiversity. The challenges to biodiversity are daunting. Habitat destruction, biological invasions and climate change are causing loss of species and disruption of ecosystems worldwide. Graduates are trained to understand and actively seek solutions to these problems. This program will show how ecological and evolutionary perspectives can be used to understand and predict the outcome of dynamic interactions among organisms, populations, species, and communities. Students will be well trained to take positions in government agencies, consulting firms or NGO's, able to continue with graduate studies in science for academic careers, or able to pursue careers in business or law related to environmental issues, stewardship and sustainable development.

Note: This program was formerly known as the Specialist in Biodiversity, Ecology & Evolution (BSc).

SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE (SCIENCE) - SCSPE0371

This program was formerly known as Specialist in Environmental Biology. Humans are considered to be the dominant force shaping nearly all of Earth’s biotic and abiotic patterns and processes, including those within the world’s atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Many scientists now suggest that anthropogenic impacts on the environment are so pervasive, that they have moved Earth into a novel geological epoch called “The Anthropocene”: a time in Earth’s 4.6 billion-year history where humans are the dominate force shaping the environment. In the Specialist program in Global Environmental Change students will gain a deep understanding of: 1) the fundamental environmental processes occurring within Earth’s spheres; 2) how humans are profoundly influencing these processes at local and global scales; and 3) how anthropogenic changes to Earth’s environment are both unfolding rapidly, and unique in the context of Earth’s history. The program entails learning these themes through a comprehensive mix of: 1) core and advanced scientific courses; 2) applied environmental skills courses; and 3) undergraduate environmental research opportunities.

SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN INTEGRATIVE BIOLOGY (SCIENCE) - SCSPE1030A

Supervisor Email: integrative-biology@utsc.utoronto.ca

The Integrative Biology program allows students to pursue a specialist program built on a broad, multi-perspective approach towards understanding biological complexity. This program provides students with a solid foundation in core biological areas (cellular and organismal biology, ecology and conservation, genes and development) and builds on this knowledge base in third and fourth years. A key advantage to this program is that it allows students to pursue specialization in more than one area at the same time, providing students with a broad understanding of biology. Many of the biggest issues facing today’s planet require scientists that are capable of bringing different and complementary perspectives to look for solutions, and this program provides the coursework and training to help undergraduates build this knowledge base. Students who are interested in careers in conservation biology, ecology, environmental sciences, cellular/organismal biology, as well as ones interested in careers in medicine and other health professions, will benefit from this program.

Enrolment Requirements
Students apply to the Specialist Program in Integrative Biology after completing a minimum of 4.0 credits, including 1.0 credit in Biology (excluding BIOA11H3), 1.0 credit in Chemistry, and 0.5 credit in Mathematics (excluding MATA02H3) or Statistics and with a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 2.0.
