SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN INTEGRATIVE BIOLOGY (SCIENCE) - SCSPE1030A

Academic Program Supervisor: 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, BIOA12H3), 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.

SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN MATHEMATICS - Comprehensive Stream (SCIENCE) - SCSPE11659

Supervisor of Studies: Prof. Michael Cavers michael.cavers@utoronto.ca

Program Objectives
This program provides the student with a sound foundation in the main areas of mathematics, and some exposure to computer programming and statistics. It comprises three streams: Comprehensive, Statistics, and Teaching, each serving a more specific goal.

The Comprehensive Stream provides a broad and deep knowledge of mathematics at the undergraduate level. It is the recommended program for students who plan to pursue graduate study in mathematics, but it is also suitable for other career paths.

Enrolment Requirements

Enrolment in the Specialist Program in Mathematics (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 Mathematics admissions category:

Required Courses:

Students must have passed the following CSC and MAT courses: CSCA08H3, CSCA67H3, MATA22H3, MATA31H3, and MATA37H3.

Required Grades:

Students that meet all of the following requirements will be admitted to a Mathematics Specialist POSt* of their choice:
a. A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 2.5 over the following courses: CSCA67H3, MATA22H3, and MATA37H3; and
b. A final grade of at least B in two of the following: CSCA67H3, MATA22H3, and MATA37H3.

*Students must select one stream of the Mathematics Specialist.

2. Students admitted to other UTSC Year 1 admissions categories:

Students that have been admitted to other CMS admissions categories (Computer Science or Statistics) or any other of the UTSC Year 1 admissions categories are eligible to apply for a Mathematics Specialist POSt. Admission will be based on academic performance in the required A-level courses, identified above. The admission requirements change each year depending on available spaces and the pool of eligible applicants, and students are cautioned that there is no guarantee of admission; as such, students are strongly advised to plan to enroll in backup programs.

For more information about the admission requirements, please visit the following CMS webpage.

Program Requirements
The Program requirements consist of a core 15 courses (7.5 credits), common to all streams, and additional requirements that depend on the stream, for a total of 26-27 courses (13.0-13.5 credits).

The structure of the programs allows for easy switching between streams until relatively late. Consequently, these programs should not be viewed as rigidly separated channels feeding students to different career paths, but as a flexible structure that provides guidance to students in their course selection based on their broad (but possibly fluid) interests.
