About the school

Since its foundation in 1967, the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) has come a long way. Back then, it started with a modest cohort of 155 students and a faculty of 28 members. Today, UTM has emerged as the second-largest department within the University of Toronto. Its dynamic community now includes over 15,200 undergraduate students, 900 graduate students, and 3,400 reliable full and part-time staff.

This remarkable institute is an epicentre where various fields like management, science, technology, and more, intersect to encourage the next generation of leaders and creators.
