The School of Graduate Studies (SGS) is the graduate school at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada. It is the largest graduate school in Canada with more than 20,000 full-time students, [4] and offers master's and doctoral programs through most of the university's divisions and academic departments at all three campuses: St. George, Mississauga, and Scarborough. [5] SGS is affiliated with Massey College, an incorporated college that serves as a residence and community space for graduate students located at the St. George campus in downtown Toronto. [6]
