Lots of Choice

Canada has over 90 universities and more than 150 colleges ranging from small liberal arts schools to major research institutions including undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs. Canadian universities are degree granting institutions (BA- PhD) and offer the same training as 4 year American colleges. Canadian colleges offer diploma and certificate programs similar to an American junior college. Colleges also include technology institutes and art programs.

A great way to enhance your degree is with a co operative work program or international exchange. Co operative programs are available at some Canadian schools and give the student the opportunity to work in a field related to their degree while earning credits. An international exchange is a great way for the student to experience a different culture while earning credits toward their degree. Most Canadian universities have partner schools around the world. To learn more about international exchange contact the international office at your school of choice.

Going to school isn’t all about studying. Some of the most important lessons are learned outside the classroom. All Canadian schools offer extra curricular activities. Joining a club or a team is a great way to get involved and meet people. Many schools also have sports teams. Some sports teams may be at the competitive varsity level while some may be non competitive intramural teams. Whatever you decide just be sure to get involved
