| What it is | This program combines studio art, architectural design, and materials science to explore how buildings and spaces are created and experienced. You'll study drawing, design principles, and the physical properties of construction materials alongside art history and theory. It suits students who want to work creatively with built environments — whether designing buildings, creating installations, or working in architectural practice — rather than pursuing fine art or architecture alone. | 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. |

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.
