Applied Data Science Minor (Science Program) - ASMIN0160

More than at any other time in our history, we are living through a paradigm shift in how we think about data. Advances in computing power, algorithms for data modeling and machine learning, coupled with unparalleled access to vast quantities of data has transformed disciplines across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The Minor in Applied Data Science will help students learn fundamental data science methodologies drawn from computing and statistics and provide opportunities to apply these methodologies to datasets, problem domains, and explorations in many disciplines of study in Arts & Science. Understanding the human and ethical contexts and communicating results of data science methodologies will appear in courses throughout the program.

The minor is designed to complement programs in other areas with opportunities for data science applications (see program requirements for pertinent programs). This program is designed to be accessible to students who have never done any computer programming or statistics before, or who haven’t taken high school or university calculus. All skills necessary to succeed in the program are taught in our courses. Most students who are interested in this program should start by choosing one of our three introductory, interdisciplinary data science courses: EEB125H1, GGR274H1, or ENG286H1, which introduce data science skills such as computer programming, statistical reasoning, and data visualization within the context of a particular discipline. Students then proceed to take a suite of key computer science and statistics courses that reinforce and extend these skills, with an emphasis on applications to real-world problems. Finally, in later years students will choose from a wide variety of courses drawn from across the Faculty of Arts & Science. These upper-year courses will provide the opportunity to discuss and analyze the human contexts of data science, and to apply data science methodologies in discipline-specific contexts.

Enrolment Requirements:

This is a limited enrolment program. Students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet the requirements listed below to enrol.

Asian Canadian Studies Minor (Arts Program) - ASMIN2728

The Minor in Asian Canadian Studies is an interdisciplinary program focused on understanding and productively engaging with the social, political, historical, economic and cultural conditions that lead Asian Canadians to come to understand themselves as such, and thus what it means to be Asian Canadian. The program addresses how Asian Canadians have participated in the making of their own communities and contributed to the building of contemporary Canadian society. It is concerned with issues of social, political and ecological justice, especially with regards to historical and contemporary exclusion, violence and rupture. In addition, the program addresses Asian migration, hybridity, globality, movement, displacement and diaspora, particularly as they unfold in Canadian and Turtle Island contexts. Conversations about cultural and political agency and responsibility are key, as are conversations about relationships, especially with Indigenous and Black communities and individuals. Some of our interdisciplinary courses connect students with local communities, and every course provides opportunities for students to pursue a choice of research interests. Together we critically investigate and add to knowledge for and about Asian Canadians.

The category "Asian Canadian" is widely understood to refer to people in Canada of East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and West Asian ancestry.

Students choose from an array of courses in Asian Canadian Studies; and take additional courses related to the larger contexts of Asian Canadian Studies. The Minor in Asian Canadian Studies is easily combined with other disciplines, such as Anthropology, Art, Economics, English, Geography, History, Political Science and Sociology, as well as with interdisciplinary studies such as Contemporary Asian Studies, Diaspora and Transnational Studies, Critical Studies in Equity and Solidarity, East Asian Studies, South Asian Studies, and Near Eastern Studies.

Students will be encouraged to take full advantage of the opportunities available through the Canadian Studies Program, including its journal, ImagiNATIONs, produced by and for undergraduate students and its annual undergraduate student conference. The Canadian Studies Student Union is a focal point for social as well as academic pursuits, and is open to students pursuing a Minor in Asian Canadian Studies.

Biological Physics Specialist (Science Program)

The Biological Physics specialist program focuses on the physical principles that underlie the organization of complex biological systems. How do cells use energy input to complex and dynamic molecular structures? How do cells overcome noise to transmit information and measure molecular concentrations on the nanoscale? How do millions of cells in the immune system coordinate precise responses to viruses and bacteria? How do neurons in the nervous system transmit and process information? How does blood flow through a beating heart? Biological Physics deals with problems at the interface of Physics, Molecular Biology, and Physiology, and covers the full range of scales, from the molecular, to the organismic. Students in this program will be trained to think rigorously and quantitatively about a wide range of interdisciplinary problems, will be well prepared to work in a variety of fields such as medicine and biotechnology, and will be ready to undertake graduate work in the fast-emerging field of Biological Physics and its related specialties including Immunology, Physiology, Neuroscience, and Bioengineering.

The program is offered as a partnership between the Departments of Physics, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Immunology, and Physiology (referred to as "partner departments"). All students take the Core courses in Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Biochemistry, and Chemistry. The Core also includes specialized courses in Biological Physics ( PHY331H1, PHY431H1) and a third-year laboratory course from one of the partner departments. Students then choose one of four Streams (below) consisting of additional courses from the partner departments.

Data Science Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE1687

The field of Data Science is a combination of statistics and computer science methodologies that enable ‘learning from data’. A data scientist extracts information from data, and is involved with every step that must be taken to achieve this goal, from getting acquainted with the data to communicating the results in non-technical language. The Data Science Specialist program prepares students for work in the Data Science industry or government and for graduate studies in Data Science, Computer Science, or Statistics. Students in the program will benefit from a range of advanced courses in Computer Science and Statistics offered by the University of Toronto, as well as from a sequence of three integrative courses designed especially for the program.

The Data Science Specialist program comprises three fundamental and highly-integrated aspects. First, students will acquire expertise in statistical reasoning, methods, and inference essential for any data analyst. Seconds, students will receive in-depth training in computer science: the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures for handling large amounts of data, and best practices in software design. Students will receive training in machine learning, which lies at the intersection of computer and statistical sciences. The third aspect is the application of computer science and statistics to produce analyses of complex, large-scale datasets, and the communication of the results of these analyses; students will receive training in these areas by taking integrative courses that are designed specifically for the Data Science Specialist program. The courses involve experiential learning: students will be working with real large-scale datasets from the domain of business, government, and/or science. The successful student will combine their expertise in computer and statistical science to produce and communicate analyses of complex large-scale datasets.

Skills that graduates of the program will acquire include proficiency in statistical reasoning and computational thinking; data manipulation and exploration, visualization, and communication that are required for work as a data scientist; the ability to apply statistical methods to solve problems in the context of scientific research, business, and government; familiarity and experience with best practices in software development; and knowledge of current software infrastructure for handling large data sets. Graduates of the program will be able to demonstrate the ability to apply machine learning algorithms to large-scale datasets that arise in scientific research, government, and business; create appropriate data visualizations for complex datasets; identify and answer questions that involve applying statistical methods or machine learning algorithms to complex data, and communicating the results; present the results and limitations of a data analysis at an appropriate technical level for the intended audience.

Enrolment Requirements:

This is a limited enrolment program. Students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet the requirements listed below to enrol.

For students admitted to Arts & Science in the Year 1 Computer Science (CMP1) admission category:

Variable Minimum Grade
A minimum grade is needed for entry, and this minimum changes each year depending on the number of applicants. At least 20 spaces will be available each year for students applying from Year 1 Computer Science (CMP1) within 12 months of beginning their studies:

* STA130H1 is restricted to first-year students, therefore students are strongly encouraged to take STA130H1 in their first year. STA261H1 will be used in place of STA130H1 for program admission purposes if a student has not completed STA130H1 or if they have completed both STA130H1 and STA261H1 by the time they are being considered for admission.

To ensure that students admitted to the program will be successful, applicants will not be considered for admission with a grade lower than 70% in CSC110Y1, MAT137Y1, and STA130H1/ STA261H1, or lower than 77% in CSC111H1.

Focus in Computer Vision (Major) - ASFOC1689L

(3.5 credits)

The Focus in Computer Vision (Major) has the same set of requirements as the Focus in Computer Vision (Specialist).

Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that can see. As a science, the goal of computer vision is to understand the computational processes required for a machine to come to an understanding of the content of a set of images. The data here may be a single snapshot, a video sequence, or a set of images from different viewpoints or provided by medical scanners.

The computer vision focus introduces students to the study of vision from a computational point of view. That is, we attempt to clearly define computational problems for various steps of the overall process, and then show how these problems can be tackled with appropriate algorithms.

Students who wish to pursue computer vision should have an understanding of linear algebra and calculus of several variables. Moreover, they should be solid programmers and have a good understanding of data structures and algorithm design. These basic tools are required in order to first pose computational vision problems, and then develop and test algorithms for the solution to those problems.

Focus in Green Chemistry

Consult Professor A. Dicks, Department of Chemistry.

The Focus in Green Chemistry provides students with the opportunity to emphasize green chemistry as part of any chemistry specialist or major program they are enrolled in. An understanding of green chemistry principles is integral to meeting several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs: https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals), particularly those centered around affordable energy, climate action, clean water and sanitation, responsible consumption and production, and good well-being. As such, green chemistry broadly concerns the design and redesign of products and processes to reduce their impact on human health and the environment. This focus will be attractive to students who wish to combine courses that cover principles of toxicology, reaction metrics, safer chemicals/solvents, pollution prevention/recycling, catalysis, and energy efficiency.

Scientific computing studies the world around us. Known and unknown quantities are related through certain rules, e.g. physical laws, formulating mathematical problems. These problems are solved by numerical methods implemented as algorithms and run on computers. The numerical methods are analyzed and their performance (e.g. accuracy, efficiency) studied. Problems, such as choosing the optimal shape for an airplane (to achieve, for example, minimal fuel consumption), finding the fair price for derivative products of the market, or regulating the amount of radiation in medical scans, can be modelled by mathematical expressions and solved by numerical techniques.

Students wishing to study scientific computing should have a strong background in mathematics—in particular calculus of several variables, linear algebra, and statistics—be fluent in programming, and have a good understanding of data structures and algorithm design.

Focus in Theory of Computation (Major) - ASFOC1689R

(3.5 credits)

Why is it easy to sort a list of numbers, but hard to break Internet encryption schemes? Is finding a solution to a problem harder than checking that a solution is correct? Can we find good approximate solutions, even when the exact solutions seem out of reach? Theory of Computation studies the inherent complexity of fundamental algorithmic problems. On one hand, we develop ground-breaking efficient data structures and algorithms. On the other, we have yet to develop good algorithms for many problems despite decades of effort, and for these problems we strive to prove no time- or space-efficient algorithms will ever solve them. While the field has seen some successful impossibility results, there are still many problems (such as those underlying modern cryptography and security) for which we do not know either efficient algorithms or strong lower bounds!

This focus takes a rigorous, mathematical approach to computational problem-solving: students will gain a deep understanding of algorithm paradigms and measures of problem complexity, and develop the skills necessary to convey abstract ideas with precision and clarity. Many of our students go on to graduate studies and sophisticated algorithmic work in industry. This focus has natural ties with many branches of mathematics and is the foundation of many computer science fields. Consequently, our students often apply their theoretical knowledge to other fields of interest.

We advise you to take CSC240H1 and CSC265H1, the enriched versions of CSC236H1 and CSC263H1, because these courses are particularly well-aligned with the goals of this focus and will best prepare you for advanced theory courses. However, students who have already taken CSC236H1/ CSC236H5/ CSCB36H3 or CSC263H1/ CSC263H5/ CSCB63H3 are also welcome to enrol in the focus.

Peace, Conflict and Justice Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ1228

The Peace, Conflict and Justice at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy is an interdisciplinary academic program that focuses on conditions, causes and effects of conflict, peace, and justice. In this program, students analyze socio-political conditions and policies, economic and cultural phenomena, historical events, and empirical research related to peace, conflict, and justice. Students also have opportunities to assess, conceptualize, and generate solutions that pave the way for conflict resolution, promote peace, and achieve greater justice. The topics of study are diverse, including the study of peacemaking and peacebuilding, human rights, legacies of war, interstate war and intrastate conflict, violence in protests and collective action, ethnic conflict, inequities in social policies such as health, gender, and education. Students select from a wide range of core and elective courses related to PCJ. The program has a strong emphasis on collaboration and teamwork through involvement in hands-on, real-life experiential learning. Moreover, students strengthen their research skills through training in various research methodologies. Our academic program allows students to understand issues of peace, conflict, and justice at multiple levels - local, national, regional, and global. Students interested in this program may consider pursuing a double major in related fields, such as International Relations, Political Science, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Anthropology, History, Environmental Studies, Indigenous Studies, Diaspora and Transnational Studies, Ethics, Society and Law, and Women and Gender Studies.

Enrolment Requirements:

While we welcome students with diverse experiences, this is a limited enrollment program that can accommodate a limited number of students.

Science, Technology, and Society Minor (Arts Program) - ASMIN2743

The Minor in Science, Technology, and Society is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the different ways science and technology shape modern society and, in turn, how society shapes science and technology. From the food we eat to the way we conceive family relations or our obligations to future generations, our daily practices and our beliefs are increasingly influenced by scientific research and its applications. In turn, politics, public opinion, moral beliefs and cultural practices affect scientific and technological development. Courses in this program address such topics as science and values, science-related policy and politics, ethical uses of technology, scientific revolutions and controversies, modeling and communication of scientific research, and knowledge transfer from research to commercial and societal applications.

Specialist in Pharmacology and Biomedical Toxicology (Science Program) - ASSPE2340

Pharmacology and Biomedical Toxicology are complementary sciences, and the Pharmacology and Biomedical Toxicology Specialist combines the requirements of the two distinct specialist programs. The Specialist program integrates knowledge of pharmacology – the understanding of the therapeutic properties and clinical applications of externally administered chemical substances in the whole body and the mechanisms of their actions and interactions with their intended targets, while biomedical toxicology examines the harmful effects of exogenous chemicals on the health and behaviour of individuals and society, addressing drug safety and the adverse consequences of chemical exposure. Biomedical toxicology includes understanding the safety/toxicity of a wide array of chemicals (pharmaceutical preparations, herbal products, natural toxins and environmental contaminants) with a focus on their effects and adverse consequences on human health.

Both Pharmacology and Biomedical Toxicology are integrative life sciences which build on the core foundational disciplines of the basic life sciences and the prominent role each science plays in society. A comprehension of the biological mechanisms of action and potential uses of chemicals are key to career success in the fields of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and nursing. The Specialist program prepares students for a variety of job opportunities following its completion as well as for further study in graduate research or professional programs such as Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. (Note: Students interested in professional programs should contact the respective faculties to inquire about specific transfer credits.) Graduates of this rigorous program will have access to an impressive variety of job opportunities in either research-based or non-research-based careers, including scientific research in research institutes and in universities, positions in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical industries, forensic science, nutrition and food sciences, government or consulting agencies. Students learn about both basic and clinical pharmacology and biomedical toxicology through lectures, tutorials, small group sessions, laboratories and independent research projects. The senior research project course enables students to gain valuable research experience while working under the supervision of an individual faculty member in either a laboratory-based or a non-laboratory-based setting.

Enrolment Requirements:

This is a limited enrolment program. Students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet the requirements listed below to enrol.

Variable Minimum Grade or Variable Minimum Grade Average
A minimum grade/minimum grade average in required courses is needed for entry, and this minimum changes each year depending on available spaces and the number of applicants. The following courses or their equivalents must be completed:

Students who have completed 4.0 to 7.5 credits can apply directly to ASSPE2340 using the following courses:

BIO120H1 and BIO130H1
( CHM135H1, CHM136H1)/ CHM151Y1
1.0 credit from ( MAT135H1 and MAT136H1)/ MAT137Y1/ MAT157Y1/ ( PHY131H1 and PHY132H1)/ ( PHY151H1 and PHY152H1)

Students who have completed at least 8.0 credits and who are already enrolled in ASSPE2340 have the option of remaining in the program until completion or may enrol themselves in ASSPE2082 or ASSPE2573 on ACORN.

Students who have completed at least 8.0 credits but who are not already enrolled in ASSPE2340 must apply using the following courses:

BIO120H1 and BIO130H1
( CHM135H1, CHM136H1)/ CHM151Y1
1.0 credit from ( MAT135H1 and MAT136H1)/ MAT137Y1/ MAT157Y1/ ( PHY131H1 and PHY132H1)/ ( PHY151H1 and PHY152H1)
PCL201H1

To ensure that students admitted to the program will be successful, applicants with a final grade lower than 65% in each course, or a combined grade average lower than 75% in these required courses will not be considered for admission. Please note that obtaining this minimum final grade or minimum grade average does not guarantee admission to the program. The underlying numeric final mark in each of your courses required for program enrolment will be used by the relevant academic unit to determine your eligibility.

Applications from students lacking numerical grades in one or more of the specified prerequisites, or students applying in their second or later years, may be considered on the basis of their entire academic record and the availability of space in the program. In addition to applying through ACORN, students applying in their second year or later are asked to please contact the department directly at undergrad.pharmtox@utoronto.ca, specify which program you would like to be considered for, and provide your student number. Please consult the Arts & Science Program Toolkit for more information on program enrolment.

Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP)

Students in this program have the option to request enrolment in the Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP) stream. Students can apply for the ASIP stream after Year 1 (Year 2 entry) or after Year 2 (Year 3 entry, starting Fall 2024).

Statistics Major (Science Program) - ASMAJ2289

Statistical Science encompasses methods and tools for obtaining knowledge from data and for understanding the uncertainty associated with this knowledge. The purposes of the undergraduate programs are to: (1) equip students with a general framework for obtaining knowledge from data; (2) give students skills that they are able to flexibly apply to a variety of problems; and (3) to provide students with the ability to learn new methods as needs, data sources, and technology change.
The Major in Statistics gives students a broad understanding of the statistical methods and computational and communication skills appropriate for effective statistical problem solving. The successful student will also acquire a general understanding of the role of mathematical thinking to support the development and evaluate the properties of statistical methods. While the Major is designed to complement study in an area of application of quantitative methods, students in the Major may choose to have a greater focus in probability and statistical theory through elective courses.
