Profile

Established in 1967, the University of Toronto Mississauga is the second largest division of the University of Toronto, numbering 15,166 undergraduate students, 848 graduate students, and over 2,300 full time employees. Famous alumni include Dr. Roberta Bondar, filmmaker Richie Mehta, writer/poet Dionne Brand, and Twitter vice-president Kristine Stewart, among others.


U of T faculty received almost 25% of Canada's prestigious research awards over the last 20 years, although they represent only 7% of all Canadian professors. UTM's faculty members have collectively won more Ontario Colleges and Universities Faculty Association (OCUFA) awards for teaching excellence than any other college or organization at the University. Multi-campus opportunities: The Mississauga campus offers many programs and courses identical to those at the St. George (downtown Toronto) campus while others are unique to UTM. Returning students wishing to select courses at the University's other campuses may do so with relative ease, and students regularly use the inter-campus transit to be part of the best activities, performances, tournaments, lectures, and events on all three U of T campuses. Mississauga is conveniently located only 30 kilometres west of downtown Toronto.

Sports

Student athletes interested in the Varsity Blues intercollegiate sport program are encouraged to contact the coach(es) of the sports in which they wish to compete. Our coaches are excellent resources for information on specific sports as well as the university. They can tell you more about our program, explain the college and faculty system, discuss program options and get you in contact with a myriad of other experts who can answer any questions they themselves cannot. They can also get you in touch with current and former Varsity Blues athletes who can tell you about their own experiences while at U of T. A list of coaches and contact information can be found on the Varsity Blues try-outs page.
