What it isComputer Science I is an introductory computer science program where you learn programming, algorithms, and core computational concepts. It differs from some other programs because it includes a mandatory co-op component, giving you paid work experience in tech roles alongside your studies. This program suits students who want hands-on industry experience early and are curious about whether computer science matches their strengths before committing to upper-year specializations.A combined degree that lets you study both arts and commerce side by side, rather than picking one. You take courses in subjects like history, English, or environmental studies alongside business, accounting, and management courses. This dual approach suits students who want business skills and professional preparation but also value deeper knowledge in humanities or social sciences.This is a one-year foundation program designed for international students whose secondary education doesn't directly align with Ontario's Grade 12 system. You take introductory courses in subjects like English, math, computer science, psychology, or geography while improving your English language skills, then progress into a regular University of Toronto bachelor's degree. It suits international students who need time to adjust academically and linguistically before starting a standard degree program.
