| What it is | General 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 science subjects like biology, chemistry, or physics alongside accounting and finance courses, learning how to apply scientific knowledge to financial decision-making and business problems. Unlike a straight science degree, you're required to complete paid work terms with employers throughout your studies, alternating between school and jobs. This suits people who want a science background but are drawn to business applications and need real-world work experience before graduating. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
