MAJOR (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN CITY STUDIES

Graduates will receive an Honours B.A. degree wherein they must combine the Major (Co-operative) Program in City Studies with one of the following:

Major Program in Anthropology
Major Program in Economics for Management
Major Program in Environmental Science
Major Program in History
Major Program in Human Geography
Major Program in Political Science
Major Program in Sociology
Major Program in Studio
Major Program in Women's Studies

The Program is intended to complement the chosen academic discipline and to give students the opportunity to see how they might apply ideas from that discipline in their field of professional interest. The Major (Co-operative) Program in City Studies combines academic studies in various disciplines with work placements in private enterprise, the public sector, or non-governmental organizations. It includes all of the requirements of the Major Program listed above, viz., 7 full credits as specified. In addition, students must successfully complete the non-credit course "Introduction to Humanities and Social Sciences Co-op" and two work terms. For information on admissions, fees, work placements and standing in the Program, please see the Calendar section Co-operative Programs: General Information, page 71.

Work Terms

Students must satisfactorily complete two work terms, each of four-months duration. To be eligible for the first work term, students must have completed at least 10 full credits, including 5 full credits as a UTSC student. These must include at least one full credit drawn from each of areas I (Introduction to Social Science Thought), II (Fundamentals of City Studies), and III (Methods). They must also have completed the Introduction to Humanities & Social Sciences Co-op Tutorial. Students are advised that being available for work terms during fall and winter may increase the variety of work available, and this in turn requires students to take courses during at least one summer session.

CITD01H3 City Issues and Strategies

An independent studies course open only to students in the Major Program or the Major (Co-operative) Program in City Studies. The instructor chooses a case study, and within this, students choose their own topic and method of investigation. Team work is encouraged, but students submit individual reports.
Prerequisites: Students will have already completed all program requirements (1) Introduction to Social Thought, (2) Fundamentals of City Studies, and (3) Methods.
