Woodsworth College, named after politician and clergyman James Shaver Woodsworth (1874-1942), is a college within the University of Toronto. It is the largest college in the Faculty of Arts and Science on the St. George Campus. It was founded in 1974.
The College was originally founded to serve part-time students exclusively, specifically adults pursuing continuing education studies. Since 2000, Woodsworth has embarked on 'direct entry,' where students are accepted directly from high school.
Its first student residence replaced the site of the University's old Graduate Student residence, at the corner of St. George Street and Bloor Street.
The College is known for its Criminology program and its close ties with the undergraduate Commerce program.
