Student Diversity

We look forward to tracking the evolution of Osgoode’s student body and over time this data will allow us to establish clear benchmarks and goals with respect to accessibility and inclusion. While these numbers reflect important values about how law school ought to reflect the broader community, and are a source of genuine pride, they also demonstrate that there is important work left to do to make the Law School truly inclusive.View the latest Entering Class Survey.
