Where would be good school to study mereology at the graduate level? I'm not looking for any school with specifics in mind, given that I already understand the options available by wanting to find a good program in just general mereology. Thank you for your time.

It depends on what you want to do with your knowledge of mereology. The Department of Philosophy at the University at Buffalo (State University of New York) is a world center for research on applications of ontology to artificial intelligence and informatics, and much of their work is based on various theories of mereology. For further information, link to "Areas of Study: Ph.D. with a focus in Ontology" (where you'll also see an old photo of me if you scroll down the page :-) That page also has links to the National Center for Ontological Research.
