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 credit 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. Management Program students includes degree, certificate and non-degree students in Management. There will be no exceptions.
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 Grade 12 or 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 GPA of 1.6 or higher after having attempted at least 4 full-credit equivalents and a GPA of 2.0 or higher after having attempted at least 8 full-course equivalents. Co-op students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.50 throughout the Program.
Applicants for the Specialist Programs in Management must have completed (or be in the process of completing) MGTA02, [[ECMA02Y or ECMA04H & ECMA06H] and MATA27 (MATA30H/31H & MATA35H/MATA36H/MATA37H may also be used to satisfy the calculus requirement.) Students who took [ECMA03 or ECMA01H & ECMA05H] 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 credits) will also be on the basis of all grades received. Students who have completed more than ten full-credits 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. 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 admission, fees, work placements and standing in the Program, please see the Calendar section Co-operative Programs: General Information, page 71.
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. The Program requires eight 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, and conclude with a final eight months of study.
Curriculum
Co-op students will follow the course requirements specified in the Specialist in Management Program which is described later in this section. 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.

- for the first work term: seven full-course equivalents, including [ECMA02Y or ECMA04H & ECMA06H],, MGTA02, MGTB05 & MGTB06 & CSCA02 & MATA27, and the Introduction to Management Co-op Tutorial
