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.

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:

SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT - Entrepreneurship Stream (BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION) - SCSPE2432Q

Academic Director: S. Ahmed, Email: mgmtss@utsc.utoronto.ca

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, you 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.
