Just south of Yorkville and east of the Annex,

the Victoria College campus is located in the north-

east corner of the University of Toronto (St. George)

One way that we ensure a personal education in first year is to have every incoming Vic student enrol in a small course where you will get to know your classmates and engage directly with senior faculty. You will develop, from the very beginning, good habits of critical thinking, intellectual curiosity and persuasive expression.

Page 7: Victoria College viewbook

First Year at Vic At Vic, we work hard to make your education personal.

Every first-year student is required to enrol in a seminar course. These limited-enrolment courses, offered through the Vic One Hundreds, Arts & Science First-Year Seminars, and our highly successful Vic One program (p.13–15) are designed to give you the opportunity to get to know fellow students and faculty members, engage in interactive academic discussion and hone your written, oral and teamwork skills.

Vic One Hundreds Seminars Vic One Hundreds is an initiative that gives first-year students the oppor-tunity to participate in small classes of no more than 40 students. Taking a Vic One Hundreds seminar will provide you with the opportunity to interact with distinguished teaching faculty and a gateway to, and foundation for, subsequent studies.

Faculty of Arts & Science First-Year (199) Seminars Each Faculty of Arts and Science college sponsors a number of First-Year Seminars for students across the Faculty. The seminars focus on discussion of issues, questions and controversies surrounding a particular discipline or topic in a small-group setting.

“Small seminars are the perfect antidote to large lecture classes. For a newly admitted student to participate in a small class on a subject of personal interest to a professor is a remarkable opportunity. Teaching small seminar classes has been among my most rewarding times with students.”

“Considering that my other lectures in first year were composed of anywhere from 50 to 500 students, it was nice to be able to see familiar faces every week in my small seminar and to interact directly with my professors from day one.”

Vic One Our renowned first-year program aims to stimulate, encourage and refine intellectual curiosity.

In Vic One, we place talented and engaged students in seminar courses of no more than 25 students, working closely with accomplished, senior professors. Research opportunities and a weekly series of guest lectures by noted scholars, thinkers, artists and industry leaders round out the Vic One experience.

Named after distinguished alumni of Victoria College, the streams of study include:

The Northrop Frye Stream for Humanities Named for one of the world’s foremost literary scholars, this stream offers students the opportunity to examine people and concepts from across a wide range of historical periods and cultures that have shaped the human experi-ence. Students will employ the methods and theories of great thinkers, poets and writers in order to better understand social and cultural phenomena.

The Norman Jewison Stream for Imagination and the Arts Students will have the opportunity to expand their artistic interests through hands-on exploration of various media. They will discover how the arts play an integral role in both individual and social life. Norman Jewison is a world-renowned film director, founder of the Canadian Film Centre and former Chancellor of Victoria University.

The Lester B. Pearson Stream for Social Sciences Named for Canada’s 14th prime minister and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, the Pearson stream allows students to use in-depth research methods and primary sources to examine individuals, issues and events that have shaped public life, public policy, and international relations in the modern era Students will develop insight into the collective consciousness of significant moments in the formation of contemporary society.

The Egerton Ryerson Stream for Education Through group discussion and practicum placements, students in the Ryerson stream will explore the philosophical, historical and cultural aspects of education. Students are encouraged to consider the importance of education in contemporary society. This stream is named for the founder of Ontario’s public education system and first principal of Victoria College.

“Vic One is an environment of discovery and contemplation that encourages creativity and focuses less on marks. The program offers a unique model for learning, one that has transformed my way of thought and has defined my first year at U of T.”

Yannay Khaikin HigH ScHool: Tanenbaum CHAT, Toronto, Ontario ProgramS of Study: Biology, History and Philosophy of Science and Technology

Page 9: Victoria College viewbook

The Arthur Schawlow Stream for Math and Physical SciencesStudents will take a multidisciplinary look at the physical sciences, scientific progress, and the environment in which science is performed and advanced today. Students are encouraged to think about our social responsibilities and the philosophical questions that have shaped our approach to science. Arthur Schawlow, Nobel laureate, was best known for the co-invention of the LASER.

The Augusta Stowe-Gullen Stream for Life Sciences Students will use science, statistics and the arts to deal with the relation-ship of the health and life sciences to human experience. As part of a year-long project, students will be mentored as part of the development of a major grant proposal. This stream is named for the first woman graduate of a Canadian medical school, who graduated from Victoria in 1883.

Page 10: Victoria College viewbook

Academic Programs at Vic Among the Faculty of Arts & Scienceʼs programs are a number of interdisciplinary programs offered by and at Victoria College.

Literary Studies Students analyze literary texts and other media, and are encouraged to study in more than one language. By examining different technologies through which cultural forms have evolved, students explore existing and new links between literature and historical, cultural, political, social, and psychological forces.

Material Culture With a focus on the study of tangible things, students engage in research projects which originate with studies of artifacts and incorporate cross-insti-tutional dialogues with scholars and stewards of material culture. Students work with curators and other professionals to analyze the social and cultural relevance of objects as a way of understanding a culture or society.

Renaissance Studies Many aspects of our modern world have their origin in the Renaissance: our emphasis on the study of human affairs; our irrepressible interest in the exploration of the universe, in science and in medicine; the institutions of church and state as we know them today. The program examines changes in art and literature, in social and political development, and in technology and science which transformed European concepts of the individual, society, and the world.

Semiotics and Communication Studies Semiotics is the science of communication and sign systems. The program examines natural and artificial languages, as well as non-verbal communica-tions. Students in the program look at the development of sign systems and examine the major areas in the culture of the modern world.

Vic Two To extend the challenging environment and dynamic classroom interaction of the Vic One program, Vic Two is a series of upper-year multi-disciplinary seminars in a variety of areas including political science, creative writing, the arts, and the sciences. Seminar topics vary but are meant to complement disciplinary studies and give students an opportunity to apply foundational knowledge through interactive dialogue.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Concurrent Teacher Education Program The Concurrent Teacher Education Program (CTEP) integrates undergradu-ate study and teacher training over five years. Students complete two degrees simultaneously: an Honours Bachelor of Arts (H.B.A.) or Science (H.B.Sc.) and a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. Vic CTEP is designed for students who intend to teach at the primary/junior level (K-6).

Education and Society Students interested in education explore topics such as child and adolescent development, equity and diversity, communication and conflict resolution. Students enjoy hands-on experience in classrooms and are strongly encour-aged to explore international placements. Students completing the minor are well prepared for applying to professional programs in education.
