The Arts & Science Co-op Programs offer co-op across 12 academic departments for students pursuing a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree. Co-op programs combine academic studies with paid work experience (two or three work terms - depending on your area of co-op Specialization or Major). Work terms are four, eight, or twelve months in duration and can be in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), across Canada, or internationally. There are over 30 program streams to choose from across the Arts & Science disciplines. For information about the benefits of Co-op, program areas, co-op fees and services, and work term opportunities, please visit the Arts & Science Co-op website: https://utsc.utoronto.ca/artscicoop/

Full Year/Trimester Programming

The Arts & Science Co-op programs operate on a trimester schedule, featuring three terms (Fall, Winter, and Summer) in each calendar year. Students work or study in all three terms for four years or until graduation requirements are met. Each Arts & Science Co-op program requires eight four-month terms of study and two or three work terms (depending on co-op program of study). Students normally begin with three to five study terms (Fall, Winter, and Summer), then alternate study and work terms. Students always conclude their degree with a study term.

Program Requirements

Co-op students follow the course requirements of one of the Specialist or Major programs offered by the Arts & Science Co-op Department. Students are advised to consult regularly with the Academic Program Supervisor or Advisor if they have course selection and scheduling questions. 

For questions about Co-op courses and work term sequences, students can contact the Co-op Student Success & Program Coordinator.

It is the students' responsibility to ensure they have completed the correct courses to make them eligible for each work term and they have correctly completed program and degree requirements for graduation.

Status in Co-op Programs

Status in an Arts & Science Co-op program will be determined at the end of each session (Fall, Winter, and Summer) for students who have attempted at least 4.0 credits since beginning their studies at UTSC or in other Arts and Sciences Divisions at the University. Students with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.5 or higher are considered in good standing.

  • Students whose CGPA falls below 2.5 will be placed on probation.
  • Students may clear probation by achieving a CGPA of 2.5 or better in the next study session. Where the CGPA is below 2.5 but above 2.3, and the sessional grade point average (SGPA) is at least 2.5, students may be granted a second probationary semester.
  • Students must clear their probation within a maximum of two study sessions in order to remain in a Co-op program.
  • Students on probation in the Co-op program may not apply for a work-term until they have successfully cleared their probation. However, if a student's CGPA falls below 2.5 after having secured a co-op work-term through the recruitment process, the student will be permitted to complete the work term but must clear probation before being permitted to participate in the next recruitment process.
  • Students whose CGPA falls below 2.3 will be removed from the Co-op program.

For information on fees in Co-op programs and certification of completion of Co-op programs, see the 6B.5 Co-operative Programs section in the Calendar.

SPECIALIST (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (SCIENCE)

Academic Program Advisor: S. Calanza susan.calanza@utoronto.ca
Co-op Program Coordinator: C. Dixon coopsuccess.utsc@utoronto.ca

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 Comprehensive Stream provides a broad and balanced exposure to the discipline. It is the stream best-suited for students planning to pursue graduate study in computer science, but it is also suitable for other career paths.

The Software Engineering Stream places a greater emphasis on the engineering side of the discipline, including computer systems and core applications.

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 Entrepreneurship Stream includes a solid core of computer science and software engineering, while exposing students to the framework and the methodologies that underlie the development of innovative technology ideas into viable commercial opportunities. Enrolment into the Entrepreneurship stream will be limited to highly qualified and motivated students, and preference will be given to students enrolled in the Specialist (Co-op) Program.

Note: the Health Informatics Stream has been suspended to new enrolments and will be fully closed effective with the 2020-21 academic year.

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 (Co-operative) program in Computer Science (all streams) is limited.

Current Co-op Students:
Students admitted to a Co-op Degree POSt in their first year of study must request a Co-op Subject POSt on ACORN upon completion of 4.0 credits.

SPECIALIST (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN CONSERVATION AND BIODIVERSITY (SCIENCE)

Academic Program Supervisor: biodiversity@utsc.utoronto.ca
Co-op Program Coordinator: C. Dixon, coopsuccess.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. These processes determine the broad patterns of organization of life on earth and biodiversity, and the challenges to biodiversity are daunting: habitat destruction, biological invasions and climate change are causing loss of species and disruption of ecosystems worldwide. In this program, students are trained to understand and actively seek solutions to these problems. This program will also show how ecological and evolutionary perspectives can be used to understand and predict the outcome of dynamic interactions among organisms, populations, species, and communities, Graduates will be well trained to take on positions in government agencies, consulting firms or NGOs, to pursue careers in business or law related to environmental issues, stewardship and sustainable development, or to continue with graduate studies in science for academic careers.

The co-op option of the Conservation and Biodiversity program complements and punctuates academic course work with full-time work terms in the various governmental or non-governmental conservation agencies, in labs or in public or private industry. These work terms help students define and refine their career and/or professional school goals. For information on admissions, fees, work terms and standing in the Program, please see section 6B.5 (Co-operative Programs) or the Arts and Science Co-op section in this Calendar.

Enrolment in the program is limited.

SPECIALIST (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN NEUROSCIENCE (SCIENCE)

Academic Program Advisor: A. Lawson psychundergrad.utsc@utoronto.ca
Co-op Program Coordinator: C. Dixon 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.
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 and Course requirements.

Students will choose one of the following three streams:

A. Systems/Behavioural: this stream examines the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour and how brain circuits work together to analyze external stimuli, internal biological states, and past experiences in order to coordinate appropriate responses, predominantly through the use of in vivo approaches in behaving subjects (e.g., optogenetics, chemogenetics).

B. Cellular/Molecular: this stream explores the nervous system at its most fundamental level, investigating the influence of genes, signalling 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).

C. Cognitive: this stream focuses on understanding the neural basis of human cognition (e.g., language, memory, attention, decision-making) predominantly through the use of patient neuropsychology and neuroimaging techniques (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG)).

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 two Co-op work terms.

Enrolment Requirements

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 Scientific Foundations courses: BIOA01H3, BIOA02H3, CHMA10H3, CHMA11H3, [MATA29H3 or MATA30H3], 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. 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. Applications for admission to a Stage 2 stream will be made to the Office of the Registrar through ACORN in March/April and June/July.

Before applying to their chosen stream, students must:

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

They must be completed in sequence, and fall into three categories: Co-op Preparation courses (COPB50H3 & COPB51H3) are completed in first year, and cover a variety of topics intended to assist students in developing the skills and tools required to secure a work term; Work Term Search Courses (COPB52H3, COPC98H3, & COPC99H3) are completed in the semester prior to each work term, and support students while competing for work terms that are appropriate to their program of study, as well as preparing students for the transition into and how to succeed the workplace; Co-op Work Term courses (COPC01H3) are completed during each semester that a student is on work term, and support students’ success while on work term, as well as connecting their academics and the workplace experience.

Co-op courses are taken in addition to a full course load. They are recorded on transcripts as credit/no credit (CR/NCR) and are considered to be additive credit to the 20.0 required degree credits. No additional course fee is assessed as registration is included in the Co-op Program fee.

For information on fees, status in Co-op programs, and certification of completion of Co-op programs, see the 6B.5 Co-operative Programs section or the Arts and Science Co-op section in the UTSC Calendar.

COPB36H3 - Work Term in Biodiversity and its Field Assessment

While working with a Co-op employer, students will learn how to find, identify and recognize wild species of plants and fishes (or other groups) in the Greater Toronto Area, their major taxonomic groups contributing to their local diversity, and their basic biology (including conservation status and role in local ecosystems). Students will also learn and apply best-practice quantitative methodologies to assess diversity in the field. Students will then apply this new knowledge by creating a collection, participating in regular species identification and contributing to long-term biodiversity monitoring data sets in local green areas. While in this course, students will complete co-op preparation activities to develop job search documents incorporating this work term experience.


Note: Students are enrolled in this course after enrolment in the Specialist Co-op Program in Conservation and Biodiversity and will receive support and guidance from Co-op coordinators, faculty and peers, to share and reflect upon their work term experience and performance
