The Academic Bridging Program enables many mature students who are at least 20 years of age to pursue degree studies at the University of Toronto. The courses in the program are designed for students who have been away from formal education for some time and are intended to bridge the gap between a student’s prior secondary education and the requirements of first year university courses. They feature study skills, essay writing skills, library research skills and the methodology of the specific academic discipline involved. Students are admitted by Woodsworth College to one of three Academic Bridging courses: ENG 185Y (Introduction to the Study of Literature), JWH 100Y (Canadian History), and JWU 100Y (Contemporary Canada).
