Together with more than 50 appointed faculty members, 40 staff, over 300 industry and community partners annually, and a global alumni network exceeding 14,000 U of T Scarborough Management and Economics graduates, we are proud to guarantee that 100% of Management students complete one or more WIL experiences priorto graduation.
