The Department of Human Geography offers pre-professional programs for students interested in career paths that may be city-related. Students acquire a combination of conceptual, methodological, and critical skills relevant in a variety of professional fields including city planning, real estate development, transportation, housing, community development, urban governance, and city management. The Specialist, Major and Minor programs in City Studies are multidisciplinary: they are designed to give students the opportunity to see how they might apply ideas about cities from the social sciences and kindred disciplines in their field of professional interest. The programs also offer preparation for students interested in pursuing graduate education in a field of study related to cities.
Guidelines for first-year course selection
Students intending to complete a program in City Studies should take at least 1.0 credit from the courses listed in Requirement 1 of the Specialist Program in City Studies within their first 4.0 credits.
Guidelines for Major Program Completion
The City Studies curriculum has three areas of concentration: (1) City-Building, (2) Community Development and (3) City Governance.
Students are welcome to take courses in more than one area of concentration and are encouraged to take at least three of the City Studies core courses, CITB02H3 Foundations of City Studies (required for all Specialist, Major and Minor students in City Studies), CITB01H3 Canadian Cities and Planning, CITB03H3 Social Planning and Community Development, CITB04H3 City Politics, or CITB08H3 Economy of Cities. These core courses cover foundational concepts of the program and are considered essential preparation for upper-level courses.

Notes:
1. It is Department policy that students without the prerequisites will be removed from the course. Students should carefully check the prerequisites required for particular B-and C-level courses.
2. Some upper-level courses (e.g. SOC and MGE) are part of limited enrolment programs, with first preference in these courses going to students enrolled in the associated programs.
Service Learning and Outreach
For an experiential learning opportunity that also serves others, consider the course CTLB03H3 (Introduction to Service Learning), which can be found in the "Teaching and Learning” section of the Calendar.
City Studies Programs
SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN CITY STUDIES (ARTS)
The Specialist program in City Studies (BA) will provide students with the skills and knowledge they will need to pursue specialized training at the graduate level in fields like public policy and municipal governance, urban planning, community development, as well as other city-focused fields of studies. Students in the Specialist program will also have the opportunity to develop the in-depth theoretical and conceptual knowledge in applied urban studies, quantitative and qualitative research and GIS skills, practical skills such as project management, facilitation and community consultation, and communication skills needed to succeed in a wide variety of urban professions. Students are encouraged to discuss the selection and sequencing of courses with the Program Advisor or Associate Chair (City Studies).
Enrolment Requirements
Enrolment in the Specialist is limited. Students may apply to enter the program after they have completed at least 4.0 credits, including the courses listed under Requirement 1 of the program.
Admission is based on overall academic performance and grades in the courses in Requirement 1 of the program; students must achieve a minimum CGPA of 2.5. For students applying with more 8.0-10.0 credits, admission will be on the basis of CGPA in all City Studies (CIT) courses taken. Decisions regarding program admissions will be made only twice a year, in May and August, by the City Studies Supervisor of Studies, and will be based on student requests submitted to the Registrar through ROSI.

MAJOR (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN CITY STUDIES (ARTS)
Co-op Contact: askcoop@utsc.utoronto.ca
The Major (Co-op) Program in City Studies 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 City Studies upon graduation.
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
The minimum qualifications for entry are 4.0 credits, plus a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5.
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 and must meet the minimum qualifications for entry as noted above.
Prospective Co-op Students:
In addition to requesting the program on ACORN, prospective Co-op students (i.e., those not yet admitted to a Co-op Degree POSt) must also submit a Co-op Supplementary Application Form, which is available from the Arts & Science Co-op Office website. Submission deadlines follow the Limited Enrolment Program Application Deadlines set by the Office of the Registrar each year. Failure to submit both the Supplementary Application Form and the program request on ACORN will result in that student’s application not being considered.
Program Requirements
Students must complete the program requirements as described in the Major Program in City Studies.
Co-op Work Term Requirements
Students must satisfactorily complete two Co-op work terms, each of four-months duration. To be eligible for their first work term, students must be enrolled in the Major (Co-op) Program in City Studies and have completed at least 10.0 credits.
In addition to their academic program requirements, Co-op students complete up to four Co-op specific courses. These courses are designed to prepare students for their job search and work term experience, and to maximize the benefits of their Co-op work terms. They cover a variety of topics intended to assist students in developing the skills and tools required to secure work terms that are appropriate to their program of study, and to perform professionally in the workplace. These courses must be completed in sequence, and 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.
Co-op Preparation Course Requirements:
1. COPB50H3/( COPD01H3) – Foundations for Success in Arts & Science Co-op
- Students entering Co-op from outside of UTSC (high school or other postsecondary) will complete this course in Fall or Winter of their first year at UTSC. Enrolment in each section is based on admission category: Typically, students in Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics enroll in the Fall semester while all other Arts & Science Co-op admission categories enroll in the Winter semester however this may vary year to year.
- Current UTSC students entering Co-op in April/May will complete this course in the Summer semester.
- Current UTSC students entering Co-op in July/August will complete this course in the Fall semester.
2. COPB51H3/( COPD03H3) – Preparing to Compete for your Co-op Work Term
- This course will be completed eight months in advance of the first scheduled work term.
3. COPB52H3/( COPD11H3) – Managing your Work Term Search & Transition to Work
- This course will be completed four months in advance of the first work scheduled work term.

- This course will be completed four months in advance of the second scheduled work term.
5. COPC99H3/( COPD13H3) – Integrating Your Work Term Experience Part II
- This course will be completed four months in advance of the third scheduled work term (for programs that require the completion of 3 work terms and/or four months in advance of any additional work terms that have been approved by the Arts and Science Co-op Office.
Students must be available for work terms in each of the Fall, Winter and Summer semesters and must complete at least one of their required work terms in either a Fall or Winter semester. This, in turn, requires that students take courses during at least one Summer semester.
