Earlier this month, the
University and Career Exploration Leaders explored the costs of university
education in Canada. We made three important discoveries:
1) The cost of university
varies greatly, depending on the university, and on the specific program of
study. This is especially true for international students who are faced
with much higher tuition fees than Canadian citizens.
2) That in many cases,
international student tuition and fees are expected to increase. Which
means that Bodwell students entering university in the future may pay much
higher fees than students did just a few years ago.
3) That the total costs
of university studies depends greatly on the decisions that students (and their
parents) make. This not only includes decisions about which university to
attend and which program to study, but also decisions about where to live (in
Vancouver or Halifax, in university residence or in off campus housing etc.),
decisions about course load (number of courses per year), and decisions that
determine the length of time at spent at university (many students take 5 years
or more to complete an undergraduate degree in Canada).
One of the guiding
principles of the University and Career Exploration Leaders program is that the
best way to learn about universities is to go directly to the source. So
here are a few web site links to help you explore for yourself university costs
at three of Canada's leading universities: U of Toronto, UBC and U of Alberta.
University Tuition and
Fees Examples
This is a large document,
but it provides a very good understanding for how the tuition planning process
at U of T works.
This is a great website
to explore tuition and other fees at UBC.
This shows you the fees
per course at U of Alberta.
