The programs

Six ways in — all of them employable

Compare all programs →

Business, health, technology, and design — every program in the faculty leads somewhere specific, and every program page tells you the tuition, the admission bar, and the honest outcomes up front.

Business

Business Administration

Bachelor of Business Administration · 4 years

The generalist degree that refuses to be generic: a live small-business consulting project every single year, plus concentrations in marketing, finance, or people & operations.

$8,900/yr domestic* September + January intakes

Health

Nursing

Bachelor of Science in Nursing · 4 years

Clinical placement in first year — not third. Four years, 1,400+ placement hours, and a simulation hospital wing you'll know like your own kitchen.

$9,800/yr domestic* September intake

Health

Health Informatics

Bachelor of Science · 4 years

For people who want to fix health care without a stethoscope: clinical data, hospital systems, and privacy — the fastest-growing quiet career in health.

$9,200/yr domestic* September + January intakes

Technology

Software Engineering

Bachelor of Software Engineering · 4 years

Ship real software from second year: co-op is standard, not optional, and the capstone is built for an industry partner who shows up to your demo.

$10,200/yr domestic* September + January intakes

Technology

Data Science & Analytics

Bachelor of Science · 4 years

Statistics you can defend, code you can ship, and a domain minor — health, business, or civic data — so your analysis is always about something.

$9,600/yr domestic* September + January intakes

Design

User Experience Design

Bachelor of Design · 4 years

A studio program, not a lecture program: 18 hours a week at the wall, real users in the testing lab from second year, and a graduating portfolio show that employers actually attend.

$9,400/yr domestic* September intake

The campus

Yes, it actually looks like this

A 1912 quad, a river trail out the back door, and a dining hall with a reputation to protect. Walk the whole campus in seven stops on the virtual tour — or come see the elms in person on a Friday-morning tour.

Next steps

Three ways to get closer

Weekly campus tours

Fridays 10 a.m., rain or shine — led by current students, no script, ask anything. Book a spot or just show up to the Welcome Centre.

Fall Open House

Saturday, November 14, 2026 — every school open, faculty on hand, residence rooms to poke around in, and the dining hall proving its point.

Shadow a student

Admitted applicants can spend a class day paired with a current student in their program. Offered October through March.
