Founded 1957. Pioneered Canadian co-operative education — most undergraduate programs alternate study terms with paid work terms in industry. Subject focus: computer science, engineering, mathematics.

We list institutions whose accreditation we have verified against a recognized national or international accrediting body. Listing does not vouch for any specific program's recognition by destination-country regulators, individual admissions outcomes, or post-graduation credential transferability.

When you click through to a university's website, you are interacting with that institution's admissions process under their terms. Our responsibility ends at pointing you to a verified-accreditation institution.
