About Graduate Studies in Geography

The University of Toronto's Department of Geography is one of the oldest and largest departments in North America. Founded in 1935, the department is now present on three campuses: The St. George Campus in downtown Toronto, the Mississauga Campus and the Scarborough Campus.

The department provides graduate students with the opportunity to collaborate with scholars (faculty and students alike) working in a very wide range of areas in both the social and natural sciences. Tremendous potential exists for crossing disciplinary boundaries. Our research clusters include: Cities and Everyday Life; Nature, Society and Environmental Change; Political Spaces; Climate Processes and Climate and Carbon Cycle Modeling; Earth Surface Processes and Hydrology; Paleoclimate and Biogeography.

Our graduates have an impressive record of professional success, accepting positions as university faculty members, researchers in government and non-profit organizations, and knowledge workers more generally in both the public and private sectors.
