Collaborative
Programs
The University of Toronto advertises "Collaborative
Graduate Programs" in a number of areas. It is important
to note that students cannot be admitted to any Collaborative
Graduate Program until after they have been recommended for
admission by a graduate department which then become their
"home" department.
Students for whom Sociology is the "home" department
are required to satisfy all the Sociology requirements for
their graduate degree in addition to the requirements of their
collaborative program.

Collaborative
Program in Addiction Studies
The Program
Commencing in 1992, the School of Graduate Studies at the
University of Toronto has offered a unique Collaborative Program
in Addiction Studies. The purpose of the program is to develop
and integrate graduate training in the multidisciplinary field
of the use and misuse of psychoactive substances. The following
ten graduate departments participate in the Program: Anthropology,
Community Health, Information Studies, Institute of Biomedical
Engineering, Institute of Medical Science, Pharmacy, Pharmacology,
Psychology, Social Work and Sociology. Collaborating agencies
are the Addiction Research Foundation and the Canadian Centre
on Substance Abuse.
Requirements
Students in the Collaborative Program must be registered in
the School of Graduate Studies, through one of the departments
participating in the Program. The Program includes students
who are in a doctoral program or a master's program which
requires a thesis, the subject of which must be a topic in
the field of alcohol, tobacco and other psychoactive substances.
Students in non-thesis master's programs may receive credit
for a practicum or directed research project dealing with
some aspect of psychoactive substances. All students are required
to take the multidisciplinary core course, plus one other
course from a list of approved courses or a directed reading
course under the superivison of a participating faculty member.
Upon successful completion of the Program, transcripts issued
by the School of Graduate Studies denote a specialization
in Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Psychoactive Substances.

Calendar of the School of Graduate Studies, pp. 233-4.
Introduction
Canada's first interdisciplinary Collaborative Program in
Ethnic and Pluralism Studies offers students an interdisciplinary
specialization at either the Master's or Doctoral levels.
The graduate departments of Anthropology, Geography, Industrial
Relations, History, Centre for the Study of Religion, Sociology
and the faculties of Nursing and Social Work contribute courses
and supervise graduate research. Students must apply to and
be registered in one of these participating departments or
faculties and their programs of study must be acceptable to
both participating units and the Collaborative Program. Upon
successfully completing program requirements, in addition
to the Master's or Doctorate in their area, students receive
a specialization noted on their transcripts as: "Completed
Collaborative Program in Ethnic and Pluralism Studies."
Program Objectives
This program's objective is to expose students to diverse
approaches in interdisciplinary research on ethnicity and
pluralism. Students can learn and profit from research done
in several areas. The program is also constructed to provide
a broad framework for the systematic study of ethnicity.
Expertise in the study of ethnicity and pluralism is greatly
valued by social agencies, consulting firms, hospitals, civic
organizations and other institutions dealing with issues that
include: immigration and immigrant adjustment, attitudes towards
diverse cultures, minority group conflicts, Native peoples
and cultural diversity policies. Since much of the current
research being done by various agencies in this area is already
interdisciplinary, the specialization will provide the student
with better skills and opportunities to be engaged in such
research after graduation.
General Requirements
Candidates for the degree Master of Arts, Master of Industrial
Relations, Master of Science in Nursing, Master of Social
Work and Doctor of Philosophy must be accepted by the participating
department or faculty under their regulations. Ethnic and
Pluralism program requirements can be met concurrent with,
or in addition to, departmental or faculty requirements.
