The School of Graduate Studies (SGS) is responsible for the oversight of all graduate programs in the University of Toronto. This includes developing and implementing appropriate regulations and operating procedures for admissions, programs of study, and completion of degree requirements.
General Admission Requirements
Master's Programs
- An appropriate bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, with a final-year average of at least mid-B from a recognized university.
Doctoral Programs
- An appropriate master's degree, or its equivalent, with an average of at least B+ or demonstrated comparable research competence.
- Some departments admit directly to the doctoral program from a bachelor's degree for highly qualified candidates (minimum average A- required).
Many graduate units (departments, centres, and institutes) have higher minimum requirements than the minimum SGS requirements. As we receive many more applications each year from excellent candidates than we have placements available, meeting the minimum admissions requirement does not necessarily guarantee admission.
