What it isCivil engineering teaches you how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like bridges, roads, dams, and water systems. You'll study structural mechanics, materials, surveying, and environmental impact alongside math and physics. This program includes a mandatory co-op placement, so you'll work on real projects while you study, which suits people who learn best by doing and want practical experience before graduation.This program lets you earn a Bachelor of Arts in one of ten humanities or social science subjects, then move directly into a Master of Business Administration without reapplying. The co-op component means you alternate between study and paid work terms in business settings throughout both degrees. It suits people who want deep knowledge in a humanities field but also need business skills and real workplace experience before graduation.Humanities I is your first year of study in the liberal arts, where you explore human culture, language, history, and society through subjects like English, history, drama, and linguistics. You take a range of courses across these fields to discover what interests you before specializing in a particular discipline in later years. This suits students who are curious about how people think, communicate, and organize themselves, but aren't yet certain which humanities subject to focus on.
