Founded in 1959, and located in Toronto, one of Canada’s largest and most multicultural cities, York boasts two city campuses: Keele and Glendon (York’s bilingual campus). Together the campuses are spread over 550 acres and accessible via public transit, vehicle, biking and walking.

Osgoode Hall Law School, Canada’s pre-eminent law school, is also one of York’s professional schools,
and is the largest and oldest common-law law school in the country. York is recognized for its leadership in liberal arts, business, law, environmental studies, education and fine arts and offers unique programs including Canada’s only Space Engineering program.
