Currently, 4,100 students and 100 faculty make their academic home at University College, one of several National Historic Sites at the University of Toronto.

UC offers a number of distinct programs and courses within the University of Toronto. These include programs in Aboriginal Studies, Canadian Studies, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, Drama, Peace and Conflict Studies, and Sexual Diversity Studies.

UC prides itself both on academic excellence and its openness to diversity; the College's motto is "Promoting and Celebrating Diversity".
