The Faculty of Arts and Science is a division of the University of Toronto (U of T) which offers arts and science teaching and research institutions. With almost 22,000 undergraduate and 3,000 graduate students, Arts and Science represents over half the student population on the downtown campus.

Overview

The Faculty of Art Science hosts 73 per cent of the university's undergraduates and one third of graduates who pursue degrees in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. The faculty has 800 professors who teach some 2,000 courses arranged in 300 undergraduate and 70 graduate programs hosted by 29 departments, 16 centres and institutes, and seven colleges. The Department of Economics has been previously ranked as one of the top 25 worldwide economics faculty rankings, placing 23rd and 18th during the years (1995–99)[1] and (2004–08)[2] respectively. The Department of Philosophy ranked 15th overall in the English-speaking world and 1st in Canada in the Philosophical Gourmet Report.[3] The Department of Sociology ranks among the top 10 in North America. In the 2010 Academic Ranking of World Universities, the Department of Computer Science placed first overall in Canada, and ranked 10th worldwide.[4]

For the 2012-2013 entrance year, Arts had an entry average of 86.6% and Science had an entry average of 88.8%. Commerce had an entry average of 91.7%.[5][6] For professional and graduate studies, admission is competitive. For 2011-2012, programs such as public policy and global affairs accept about one-tenth of applicants, though they do not have standardized admissions test requirements.
