What it isGeneral Engineering is a broad first-year program that covers the fundamental principles of engineering — mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science — without specializing in one branch like civil or mechanical. After first year, you choose a specific engineering discipline to focus on. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with engineering employers, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students interested in engineering but unsure which specialty appeals to them, or those who want to build practical skills alongside their degree.You study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.A Bachelor of Arts is a three-year undergraduate degree where you study humanities and social sciences rather than sciences or professional fields. You choose a major from subjects like English, history, philosophy, or geography, and take electives across the range offered. It suits students who want broad knowledge in how people, societies, and ideas work, without committing to a specific career path at the start.
