TYP Course Descriptions

Click on the left hand side to view a description of the courses you will take during your year at the Transitional Year Programme.

Some of the courses are offered within the university itself, and include other Undergraduate Students. You will receive credit for these courses toward your degree at the University of Toronto when you complete the TYP year.

In addition to your TYP courses, you will choose one of three full-year course options offered by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. These will also provide you with one credit toward your degree once you complete the program. These are listed under the Faculty of Arts and Science Courses page.

Summer credits are optional half courses, and are available after you complete the TYP program. They will count toward your degree - but you must get permission from your advisor before you take the course. Summer courses are typically harder than other courses because the summer term is shorter, even though the same amount of material is covered when they are offered throughout the September - April school year.

Note: For All courses that have an H designation, such as TYP006H1S; these are half-year credit courses, and are typically completed in half the year. The H is followed by an F or a S. These stand for Fall or Spring.

All courses that have a Y designation, such as ABS201Y1Y, are full year courses. They typically start in September and end in June. They are also followed by a letter, but in most cases this will be Y (meaning that they are offered throughout the full year.)
