University of Toronto

The University of Toronto is an internationally significant, top-ranked, accredited research university with undergraduate, graduate and professional programs of excellent quality. The university's graduate school, of which OISE is its largest part has been ranked number one in Canada by MacLean's magazine for the past eight years. There are 400,000 University of Toronto alumnae around the world.

"Across a staggering range of disciplines, the University of Toronto is one of the leading research universites in North America. Only Harvard publishes a greater number of scholarly papers. Put simply, from the standpoint of overall excellence in scholarship, no post-secondary institution in Canada is close to the University of Toronto...

When the Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) asked scholars at different universities to rank order each other, our peers placed us 9th in the world - and top among Canadian universities. In fact, the University of Toronto is one of only five universities peer-reviewed in the top 16 in every field considered by the THES. The other four were Berkely, Oxfrod, Cambridge and Stanford.
