Collaborative Specializations
Collaborative specializations emerge from cooperation between two or more graduate units, thereby providing students with a broader base from which to explore interdisciplinary areas of study and research. The University of Toronto offers more than 40 graduate collaborative specializations, providing students enrolled in participating degree programs an additional multidisciplinary experience as they complete their home degree program.
Students must be admitted to, and enrol in, one of the collaborating graduate units and must fulfill all the requirements for the degree in the home unit and any additional requirements of the collaborative specialization. Each is designed to allow a focus in the area of specialty. Upon successful completion of the program, the student receives a transcript notation.
A collaborative specialization normally requires students to:
- complete a core academic activity (such as a core course)
- participate in activities and seminars offered by the collaborative specialization
- incorporate the disciplinary focus of the collaborative specialization into any final research requirements of the home degree programs.
