Green Path Program

The University of Toronto Scarborough Green Path program comprises four parts:

  1. A 12-week summer residential experience on the U of T Scarborough campus
  2. A 12-week Academic Preparation program, completed during the residential period
  3. A University of Toronto half-credit course: “Exploring Inter-Cultural Perspectives in Academic Contexts”
  4. For students who successfully complete the Academic Preparation program, admission to a four-year degree program at U of T Scarborough.
