What it is	You study how cars and vehicles are designed, built, and manufactured, combining mechanical engineering with hands-on problem-solving. The co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at engineering companies alongside your classroom learning, giving you real industry experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want practical engineering skills and are willing to extend their studies to fit in work semesters.	A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.	A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.
