What it is	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.	You study both mathematics and business administration together, learning quantitative methods, statistics, and economics alongside accounting, management, and strategy. Unlike a straight math or business degree, this combination trains you to apply mathematical reasoning to real business problems. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work terms, giving you practical experience in finance, analytics, or operations. This program suits people who want technical skills for business careers rather than pure mathematics or general business management.
