University of Toronto Scarborough

The University of Toronto Scarborough (also known as U of T Scarborough or its abbreviation UTSC) is one of the three campuses of the University of Toronto, located in the Scarborough district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was established in 1964 as Scarborough College, a constituent college of the Faculty of Arts and Science. The college expanded following its designation as an academic division of the university in 1972. The campus is set upon suburban parkland next to Highland Creek, 22 km (14 mi) east of the St. George campus in downtown Toronto. It is the smallest of the university's three campuses in terms of enrolment but the largest in terms of land area.

Academics of the campus are centred on a variety of undergraduate studies in the disciplines of management, arts and sciences, whilst also hosting limited postgraduate research programs. Its mental health studies program was the first to be offered in the nation. The campus is noted for being a major provider of cooperative education programs at the university, as well as the Bachelor of Business Administration degree. Through affiliation with the adjacent Centennial Science and Technology Centre of Centennial College Morningside Campus, it also offers enrolment in joint programs.

The original building of the campus, the Andrews Building, was internationally acclaimed for its architectural design. The Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, a public sports facility, and Dan Lang Field, home to the baseball team of the Toronto Varsity Blues, are also situated on the Scarborough campus. The campus has traditionally held the annual F. B. Watts Memorial Lectures, which has hosted internationally renowned scholars since 1970.
