Overview
The graduate programs listed above; in collaboration with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, and the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit; participate in the Collaborative Program in Addiction Studies at the University of Toronto. The purpose of the program is to develop and integrate graduate training in the multidisciplinary field of addictions, an area that includes the use and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and psychoactive substances, as well as gambling and other addictive behaviours. Master's programs requiring a thesis, practicum, or research paper, and Doctor of Philosophy programs are included. Upon fulfilment of the program requirements, transcripts issued by the School of Graduate Studies will denote completion of the Collaborative Program in Addiction Studies.

Degree Programs
Master’s Degrees
Minimum Admission Requirements
- Applicants must apply to and be admitted to both the Collaborative Program and a graduate degree program in one of the collaborating departments.
Program Requirements
- Students must meet all requirements of their home department in terms of course work and thesis work, or equivalent.
- Master's students in the collaborative program are required to take PAS 3700H Multidisciplinary Aspects of Addictions, plus 0.5 full-course equivalent (FCE) selected from the list of approved courses presented below or an approved directed reading course.
- The student's thesis must deal with a subject in the field of addictions. The thesis is supervised and evaluated in the same manner as others in the home department, but normally involves, as appropriate, supervisory and examining professors from other disciplines represented in the collaborative program. In collaborating departments that do not require a thesis, a practicum or major research paper will be accepted instead of a thesis, as long as the topic or focus is directly related to addictions. In collaborating departments that do not have a thesis or equivalent requirement, students must take a third 0.5 FCE from the list of approved electives.
