The design of the curriculum in Management is guided by our mission statement, which follows:
"The mission of the Division of Management at the University of Toronto at Scarborough is to provide our students with the best pre-professional undergraduate management education in Canada. With special emphasis on our co-op model of education, we aim to provide a coherent set of learning experiences that simultaneously teaches management skills and develops the capacity to think analytically about managerial, economic and societal problems and opportunities. Our faculty will engage in nationally and internationally recognized research which advances the frontiers of knowledge, serves the interests of our community, and brings new insights to our students. We will improve our students' current and future experiences by building and maintaining close links with private and public sector organizations, by helping students to bridge the gap between education and employment, and by providing a continuing and lively connection among current and former students of the Division."
The University of Toronto at Scarborough offers the Bachelor of Business Administration degree to students who complete one of the Specialist Programs in Management. We also offer a Co-operative version to the Management Program and a Certificate in Business.
The University of Toronto at Scarborough Management Programs offer a wide range of elective courses. University of Toronto at Scarborough students who wish to take courses at the St. George Campus for which comparable courses are not available at Scarborough should be aware that courses at the St. George Campus are also subject to limits on enrolment.
Admission to graduate studies leading to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree is open to all qualified graduates (fifteen or twenty course degrees) regardless of the subjects or disciplines studied at the undergraduate level. Students contemplating graduate study would be well advised to include MGTA02 in their undergraduate Program. They should also consider strengthening their preparation for graduate work by taking courses in such areas as Economics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology.
Limited enrolment: Because of pressures of demand for places, it has been necessary to place enrolment limits on most Management courses including those given in the summer session, and on admission to Programs. Information on how to apply for admission to a Program and to limited enrolment courses will be available prior to the end of classes in April.
Prerequisites:
Students are responsible for ensuring that they have the prerequisites
for all Management courses. Students who knowingly or unwittingly
register for courses for which they do not have the necessary
prerequisites will be denied access to those courses.
There are two Specialist Programs in Management,
one with Co-op options, which are described below.
All B-, C- and D-level Management courses are restricted
to students in Management Programs. Restricted courses are available
on the STS to Program students only. Management Program students
includes degree, certificate and special students in Management.
In the following courses no exceptions will be made to the restrictions:
MGTB03, MGTB05, MGTB06, MGTB23, MGTB24, MGTB29, MGTC03, MGTC04,
MGTC09, MGTC60, MGTC74. In other upper-level Management courses,
instructors may sign in non-Program students if there is
space and if the students have the prerequisites or permission
of the instructor. This form of admission would take place at
the first class of each course.
Each year a total of 260 students are admitted to
the Specialist Programs in Management (including Co-operative
studies.) There are three possible ways to be admitted to the
Specialist Programs. (Students interested in Co-op should also
refer to additional application information in the following Co-op
Programs section).
Up to 180 students will be admitted directly from high school, on the basis of academic performance. Applicants interested in the Specialist Programs in Management must have completed OAC English I and OAC Calculus.
In the first year, they will take the courses required
for the Program of their choice (see the following paragraph).
In order to remain in the Program students must maintain a G.P.A.
of 1.6 or higher after having attempted at least 4 full-course
equivalents and a G.P.A. of 2.0 or higher after having attempted
at least 8 full-course equivalents. Co-op students must maintain
a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.50 throughout the Program.
Applicants for the Specialist Programs in Management must have completed (or be in the process of completing) MGTA02, ECMA02 and MATA27 (MATA26 may also be used to satisfy the calculus requirement.) Students who took ECMA03 may be able to enter the Management Program once they have completed MATA27.
Admission of students during second year (that is, until they have completed up to 10 full courses) will also be on the basis of all grades received. Students who have completed more than ten full-courses will not normally be considered for admission to the Programs.
Students applying at the end of first year or during the second year will be considered together for a total of approximately 80 places in the Specialist Programs.
Subject to enrolment limits, a student admitted
to any of the Programs will have access to the full range of offerings
in the Division. Specific Program requirements are listed below.

The Management Co-operative Program is a work-study
Program which combines academic studies with work experience in
public and private enterprises. Students learn through both studies
and practical experience.
Co-op students will follow the course requirements
specified in the Specialist in Management Program which is described
later in this section.
Full Year/Trimester Programming
The Management Co-op Program operates 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.
Admission to the Co-op Program
Students should also refer to additional detailed information about admissions to Programs in this division presented earlier in this Calendar section. Once the University of Toronto in notified of the application, candidates are sent information on how to download the co-op supplementary application from our admissions website. To be considered for the first round of selection, applicants must return the co-op supplementary application by March 1; the final deadline is April 1. Therefore it is essential that applicants submit the initial OUAC application at least six weeks prior to these dates.
Note that enrolment in the Program is limited. Admissions
are granted on the basis of applicants' interest and potential
ability in Management, and accomplishment and grades in both verbal
and quantitative studies.
Fees
Every student in a Co-operative Program is required
to pay additional fees as established by the University.
Work Terms
This Program requires eight four-month terms of study
and three work terms over a four year period. In addition to the
twenty full-course credits needed for graduating, extra credits
will be awarded for the work terms. Students normally begin with
three to five study terms (fall, winter and summer), then alternate
study and work terms, and conclude with a final eight months of
study. Work terms are arranged and scheduled by the Co-operative
Programs Co-ordinator but must be won by students in competition
with Co-operative students from this and other Universities. During
work terms students gain experience in a wide range of departments
within government, business enterprises or public agencies. 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.
Curriculum
In the first two years of study all students follow
a common core of studies (please refer to the detailed requirements
in the Management Program). Students are advised to consult regularly
with the Program Supervisor on course selection and scheduling.
It is however the students' 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.
To maintain standing in the Program, to be eligible for a work term, and to receive specialist certification upon graduation, a student must
- maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.50
- receive a satisfactory evaluation for work term
performance and work term reports.
To compete for a work term a student must be in good standing in the Program and must have completed
- for the first work term: seven full-course equivalents, including ECMA02, MGTA02, MGTB05 & MGTB06 & CSCA02 & MATA27, and the Introduction to Management Co-op Tutorial
- for the second work term: nine full-course equivalents
- for the third work term: eleven full-course equivalents
Introduction to Management Co-op Tutorial
During their first year of registration in the Program,
students will participate in a co-op tutorial. The tutorial is
designed to prepare students for the co-op work term experience.
Presentations, group exercises and individual assignments will
prepare students for the placement process, and help them to develop
the skills necessary to identify and secure placement most suited
to their goals and interests. The tutorial is taken in addition
to the 20 full credit degree requirements. There are no additional
fees associated with the tutorial. Satisfactory completion of
the tutorial is required before students commence work terms.
Evaluation of work term
Performance on each work term is evaluated by both
the employer and the Co-ordinator. Students must submit for evaluation
a report for each work term which integrates knowledge gained
during the work term with academic study already completed.
Course credit of 0.5 full-course equivalent is granted
for each four-month work period. Work term credits COPC07H are
in addition to the 20 full-course degree requirements and are
graded on a credit, no credit system. There are no additional
fees for work terms.

How regulation, privatization and globalization are affecting today's managers.
Most major management issues and business opportunities involve government (domestic or foreign) at some level -- whether as lawmaker, customer, partner, investor, tax-collector, grant-giver, licensor, dealmaker, agent, door-opener, friend or enemy.
