Accounting

• The Accounting major provides excellent preparation for an exciting career as a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA). Our program is accredited by CPA Ontario and students who complete all required courses are eligible to enter the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP). Accounting graduates can also complete the first four modules of the CPA PEP at Ontario Tech University by obtaining the graduate diploma in Accounting during the summer following graduation. CPAs have a vast range of career opportunities in every industry and sector of the economy, including senior management positions. You will acquire the most up-to-date knowledge a CPA needs, including the skills and abilities required to pursue the CPA designation.

Gain the skills and knowledge required to address global issues of escalating energy consumption and declining resources.

Individuals interested in this specialization will apply directly to Nanotechnology and Clean Energy through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre using application code DSG.

If you're interested in applying to the Nanotechnology and Clean Energy (Co-op) specialization, apply via OUAC code DGC.

The Nanotechnology and Clean Energy specialization within the Physics program is designed to meet the urgent demand for graduates with the knowledge and skills to address global issues of escalating energy consumption and declining resources. It emphasizes alternative and conventional energy, with a particular focus on the application of nanotechnology to developing clean energy solutions.

Students will learn the scientific principles underlying the field of nanotechnology along with the development of novel and economical means of generating and harvesting energy, while simultaneously minimizing the environmental impact.

Is social media changing the world for better or worse? How do smartphones shape the way we think and behave? Can popular culture create and challenge stereotypes? Why are ads so effective at persuading people to buy?

In a time in which communications and digital media is ubiquitous, Communication and Digital Media Studies is a cutting-edge program designed to provide you with a strong foundation in scholarly, civic, and professional knowledge and skills pertaining to the roles, practices and impacts of communication and digital media in society.

You will learn about the fast-changing communication environment in which we live, explore the social and cultural impacts of many media and technology, and hone professionally relevant communication skills. You will develop specialized knowledge about how a range of media forms like TV shows, films, video games, wearables, smartphones, tablets, blogs, social networking platforms and search engines are changing the world. You will become a strong communicator who is able to present your ideas in a variety of forms such as research essays, case studies, journals, blogs, digital stories, mini-TED Talks, debates and videos.

Experiential learning

• A limited number of fourth-year students are granted an opportunity to participate in a learning experience with a community organization. The practicum course consists of 100 hours of fieldwork, several in-class seminars and a set of academic assignments. 

Energy supply, medicine, agriculture, national security, manufacturing and resource-based industries are all examples of where the use of radioactive materials or radiation-generating machines are an essential part of operations. Radiation is also used to study materials and matter on the atomic scale. Our curriculum is a combination of fundamental radiation science, technological methods and applications to prepare you for a successful career.

Our programs are designed in consultation with key industry representatives, and will provide you with necessary theoretical and applied skills to meet employers' needs. 

Experiential Learning
We offer a wide range of optional internship and co-op opportunities to help you gain valuable, relevant work- experience to promote networking and lifelong career success.

Learning Environment
Students have access to new, modern buildings, libraries and innovative labs including: 

• Corrosion and Electrochemistry Laboratory
• Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Research Centre (ERC)
• Environment Radiation Laboratory
• High-Performance Computing and Visualization Laboratory
• Nuclear Simulation Laboratory
• Radiation Protection Laboratory
• Scientific Instrumentation Laboratory 

The Electrical Engineering program focuses on the design and development of electrical and computer technologies and their component parts. The integration of electrical components into complex systems is also studied. You can choose the Smart Grid specialization or follow the comprehensive program. 

Foundation Year
All Engineering students begin with a common foundation year, regardless of the program of study. During the foundation year, you will learn about the various Engineering programs available.

This program has an interdisciplinary focus, weaving together physiological, sociological and epidemiological perspectives on major health issues. 

Two specializations are offered:-
Human Health Science:-
You will learn the fundamental areas of science related to human health and disease, including anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, microbiology and neurophysiology.
Public Health:-
Public health considers health from the perspective of communities, from a neighbourhood to national and international levels. You will learn about the health status of populations, inequities in health, determinants of health and illness, strategies for health promotion, disease and injury prevention, health protection, and factors that influence the delivery an use of health services.
