In a category of your own
When you apply to U of T Mississauga, you choose from one of these 13 admission categories. That gives you the first-year flexibility to explore what works best for you – before you enter your program of study as a specialist, major, or minor at the end of your first year.
You may only select one admission category when applying to the University of Toronto Mississauga. If you are interested in more than one program below, we recommend applying to the one that best represents your academic goals, or if you can't decide between the two, choose the one with the most prerequisite subjects or highest grade requirement.
