The Management Co-op Programs are enriched programs that combine academic studies with paid work experience 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, and strategic planning. For information about the benefits of Co-op, the work term preparation course and fees, please visit the Management Co-op website.

Full Year/Trimester Programming

The Management 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. With the exception of the Double Degree (Co-op) programs that require nine (9) four-month terms of study, each Management (Co-op) program requires eight (8) four-month terms of study and three work terms. 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 programs offered by the Department of Management. In the first two years of study, most students will follow a common core curriculum of studies (please refer to the detailed requirements in the Management Co-op programs). Students are advised to consult regularly with the Department of Management if they have questions regarding course selection and scheduling. It is, however, the student's individual 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 a Management 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 to be in good standing.

  • Students whose CGPA falls below 2.5 and above 2.29 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 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 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 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; students whose CGPA falls below 2.0 will be removed from all B.B.A. programs. A student may request reinstatement to a Specialist Non-Co-op 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.

Requirements to Remain in the Double Degree Co-op Programs

Students must satisfy both of the following two requirements:  

  1. Students must maintain a CGPA of 2.5 or higher. Students whose CGPA falls below 2.5 will be placed on probation. Students on probation will be reinstated to the Double Degree program 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 2.5. Students who cannot get out of probation in two consecutive sessions, or whose CGPA falls below 2.3, will be removed from the Double Degree Co-op Program. But they can remain in the Double Degree non-Co-op Program or enroll in BBA Specialist Program in Management and Finance non-Coop or the BSc Specialist Program in Statistics, Quantitative Finance stream non-Co-op provided that the CGPA is 2.0 or above.  
  2.  Students must achieve a CGPA of at least 2.5 over the following courses: CSCA67H3, MATA22H3, and MATA37H3. These three courses must be taken by the time students complete 10.0 credits. Each course may be retaken once for the purpose of meeting these requirements. Students who do not meet this requirement by the time they complete 10.0 credits in the DD program will have the opportunity to move to the Co-op BBA Specialist Program in Management and Finance if their CPGA is 2.5 or higher, or the non-Co-op BBA Specialist Program in Management and Finance if their CGPA is 2.0 or higher but falls below 2.50.

Assistant Director: P. Brown E-mail: mgmtcoop.utsc@utoronto.ca

The Specialist (Co-operative) Program in Management and Accounting 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.
This Program is designed for students interested in acquiring a concentrated core of accounting and related knowledge that is required to become a professional accountant. It provides a solid foundation to prepare students to become Chartered Professional Accountants after graduation. In addition, the Program provides students with the personal and professional attributes necessary to build a successful career in senior management.

This Program encompasses topics such as introductory to advanced financial and managerial accounting, assurance, taxation, economics, and finance. There is also a range of more advanced electives that cover topics and competencies that incorporate critical thinking and ethical decision making.

The Program operates on a trimester schedule, featuring three semesters (Fall, Winter and Summer) in each Calendar year. Students work or study in all three semesters for four years, or until graduation requirements are met. The Program requires eight four-month semesters of study and three four-month work terms. 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.

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.

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 website. For information on what to include in your resume and covering letter, visit the Management Co-op Office website. An interview may also be required.

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.

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.

If those courses are taken at UTSC, they would be in either Language (LGG) or French (FRE) courses. For courses taken at UTSC, student language skills will be assessed by the Department of Language Studies before being formally placed in the course. The intent of the requirement is to have gained some proficiency in a foreign language; students should ideally take 2.0 credits in one language or at least 1.5 credits in the same language. Students may, with the permission of the MIB Academic Director, take 1.0 credit in one language and 1.0 credit in another.
If courses are taken elsewhere, they should be courses in language proficiency, or if the student already has some proficiency in the language in question, the course should be in the literature of that language and delivered in that language.

Complementary Elective Courses (optional)
The following are some courses from other departments that can be used to complement the Specialist Program in Management and International Business. Students may want to consider these courses as potential electives. Please note that some of these courses require prerequisites which are not included in this program:

Planning your Co-op Work Terms & Academics:

Enrollment in a Co-op program requires careful planning of both academics and work terms. Students should consult their Co-op Program Coordinator and Program Advisors, as well as review the standard co-op sequences and course maps provided during Advancing Your Career Exploration (AYCE).

Co-op Work Term Requirements:

Students must successfully complete three Co-op work terms, totaling 12 months in duration. This can be fulfilled through three separate four-month work terms. Following each work term, students are required to critically reflect on their experiences through designated reports, assignments, or presentations that aim to deepen their learning and connect insights gained on the job to their academic studies. Alternative work term lengths and sequences, including longer work terms, may be approved by the Management Co-op Office, provided the total duration meets or exceeds the minimum requirements.

Students must be available for work terms during the Fall, Winter, and Summer semesters, and are required to complete at least one of their work terms in either the Fall or Winter semester. As a result, students must also take courses during the Summer semesters.

Eligibility Requirements for Co-op Work Terms:

First Work Term – Students must:

Second Work Term – Students must have completed at least 9.0 credits and maintain a CGPA of at least 2.50.

Third Work Term – Students must have completed at least 11.0 credits and maintain a CGPA of at least 2.50

Co-op Course Requirements:

Co-op students complete the following Co-op-specific courses in addition to their academic program requirements. These courses have no credit weight and are considered additional beyond the 20.0 required degree credits.

Co-op Preparation Courses (Completed in First Year):


Co-op Work Term Courses:

Students must complete:

  • COPC71H3 – Management Co-op Work Term 1
  • COPC80H3 – International Co-op Work Term

  • COPC80H3 – International Co-op Work Term (in addition to the required international co-op work term listed above)

Co-op work term courses should not be taken concurrently with academic courses. Exceptions require consultation with the Management Co-op Office.

Additional Work Term Courses:

After successful completion of the three required work terms, students interested in pursuing additional work terms require approval from the Management Co-op Office. Additional work terms are subject to an additional Co-op fee.

  • COPC74H3 – Management Co-op Work Term 4
  • COPC75H3 – Management Co-op Work Term 5

In some cases, a student’s final required work term may be extended, resulting in a combined third and fourth (or fifth) work term. These extended terms follow the standard work term approval process.

International Work and Study Term Requirements
Students are required to complete at least one work term outside of Canada. The location of the international work terms will vary according to student interest, availability of positions, practicability and safety of an area, as well as established international relationships.

Students are also required to complete one study term outside of Canada, typically in their third year with an approved partner University and may be required to complete some of the program requirements during this time. Although scholarships may be available, students are expected to budget for the additional costs of studying abroad.

For information on fees and status in Co-op programs, and certification of completion of Co-op programs, please see the Co-operative Programs section or the Management Co-op section in the UTSC Calendar.

SPECIALIST (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING (BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION) - SCSPE2432N

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 Management and Marketing 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.

This Program gives students the perspective of the overall organization and beyond. In addition to the company focus, Marketing also ensures that students take an external orientation by having an in-depth understanding of the competition and the consumer. While developing a good understanding of all the issues involved in developing a marketing strategy, the student will learn to implement the tools of marketing tactics.

The Program operates on a trimester schedule, featuring three semesters (Fall, Winter and Summer) in each Calendar year. Students work or study in all three semesters for four years, or until graduation requirements are met. The Program requires eight four-month semesters of study and three four-month work terms. 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.

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 in this Program is limited.
