The four-year Bachelor of Building Science (Honours) degree program is designed to give you a broad knowledge base of building environments. It covers all facets of building design, construction, human comfort and sustainability. It is Canada`s only Bachelor of Building Science program.

If you have an Advanced Diploma from Architectural Technology or Civil Engineering Technology you may be eligible to enter the third year of the program. See Application/Admission Information for details.

The small class sizes of the program allow you and your peers to form tight-knit working groups and build effective communication skills necessary to succeed in the industry. You spend approximately one third of your time working in labs, developing your skills. You also have the opportunity to gain industry experience from site visits, professors who are actively working in the field, and a mandatory cooperative education (co-op) semester.

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
