  • NEW: All Engineering program applications require an online video interview. You will receive more information after you apply.
  • An Admission Information Form is also required. We will send you instructions when we acknowledge your application.
  • Also considered: Involvement in extracurricular activities in school or community, evidence of interest in engineering and strong performance in mathematics, science or engineering-related competitions.

Marks onlyYes
  • Supplementary Application Form (SAF) required.
  • An SAF helps us get to know you better. What is your story? We welcome students with varied lived experiences and whose activities demonstrate learning and/or leadership potential beyond their academic records. The SAF is a space for you to tell us about your life, interests, and goals for attending U of T Scarborough. We are looking for engaged students of any background who will bring leadership, passion, and diverse perspectives.
  • At the University of Toronto Scarborough, we welcome students with varied lived experiences and whose activities demonstrate learning and/or leadership potential beyond their academic records. We believe strongly that every applicant should be given an equitable opportunity to join our learning community. Please fill out the SAF to the best of your ability so we can get to know more about who you are and what you have learned from your experiences (rather than simply listing how many extracurricular activities you have participated in). Your responses will be read by university staff with a diverse set of backgrounds and an anti-discriminatory lens.

What it isA program in which you study how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems. The BCS degree focuses more on the theory and mathematics behind computing, while the BA allows you to combine computer science with other subjects. Both paths prepare you for software development, systems design, or related technical roles, and include paid work terms through co-op so you gain real experience while studying.This program teaches you how to manage engineering projects and operations by combining business decision-making with technical knowledge of systems, data analysis, and software. Unlike a straight engineering degree, it focuses equally on the management and optimization side of engineering work, drawing from fields like operations research and artificial intelligence. It suits students who are strong in math and science but interested in leadership roles, problem-solving with data, and working on real problems through mandatory paid work terms.You study the theory and practice of building software, designing systems, and solving problems with computers. Carleton's program lets you focus on specializations like artificial intelligence, games, or software engineering, and includes a co-op stream where you alternate between classroom and paid work terms. This suits students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are interested in both the technical and applied sides of computing.You study the fundamentals of running organizations and making business decisions, covering areas like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at real companies, giving you direct experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want practical business skills and a chance to test different roles before choosing a specialty.
