What is the purpose of the "notable departments" list on this page? It seems kind of gratuitous, it's just a list of the school's departments with no explanation as to why these are notable. I know that the computer science department is renowned, but I know that from prior knowledge. A bit of explanation as to why CS/chemistry/math/etc are actually "notable" would add a lot to this page, I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.34.163 (talk) 18:04, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Axad12, thank you for the reply and for considering these edits. I have a conflict of interest because I am an employee of the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto.

I should also note that since my initial request above, we received the latest postgraduate enrolment numbers and they are now 4,700 rather than 4,750 as indicated in my initial request. You can see the updated By the Numbers page for confirmation. 174.91.211.213 (talk) 15:47, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
