THIS IS U OF T:

THE BEST OF BEING BIG...
U of T’s size means we can bring you not only the best professors but also the greatest variety of programs and activities.

We offer more academic programs than any other university in Canada:
• More than 800 undergraduate programs

Education Supplement. The other seven universities? Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, Cornell, University of California Berkeley and University of California Los Angeles
• We publish more science research than any public university in North America

...COMBINED WITH THE BEST OF BEING SMALL
In order to provide the best possible environment for your study, U of T is broken down into many smaller learning communities:
• At the St. George (downtown) campus, undergraduate students belong to either one of seven colleges (for arts & science students) or one of the smaller faculties such as applied science & engineering (4,000 students), music (500 students) or physical education & health (500 students). Student numbers at the colleges range from 1,600 to 6,300
• U of T Scarborough and U of T Mississauga campuses are smaller than the St. George (downtown) campus,both physically and in terms of their student populations (about 10,000 each).
U of T’s unique combination – we are large and diverse enough to allow you to create your unique learning experience and small enough to help you feel at home.
