| What it is | You study the creative and technical side of designing buildings and spaces, learning to sketch ideas, understand how structures work, and use design software. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning to real projects with architecture and design firms. It suits people who enjoy solving visual problems, thinking in three dimensions, and want hands-on experience before committing to a full architecture degree. | You study how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like roads, bridges, water systems, and buildings. Civil engineering differs from architecture because you focus on the structural and technical side — materials, safety, and how things work — rather than aesthetics and design. This program includes a co-op work term, so you'll get hands-on experience at engineering firms or construction sites alongside your classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy math and physics, like solving practical problems, and want to build things that serve communities. | International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work. |
