An excellent way to gain research experience is through a supervised study course. Offered in the majority of programs, these courses allow upper-year students to conduct an extensive examination of the literature on a selected topic or perform laboratory and/or fieldwork in their area of study. Students must obtain the permission of the academic unit to study their topic of interest and locate a professor who agrees to supervise them. Consult the Arts & Science Academic Calendar or speak with an advisor in your academic unit. https://artsci.calendar.utoronto.ca
