Not quite sure what you want to take in Engineering? The School of Engineering offers you choice with Undeclared entrance. You will be given the opportunity to decide how you want to create the ultimate university experience.

Want to do a minor? Do not worry about deciding to do a minor yet, but to answer your question yes you can do a minor. Engineers do minors in almost every program the University offers ranging from a minor in Business, Arts, and French to show you a few of your potential options.

Are you concerned that if you choose the Undeclared option you might not be able to get into your program of choice? The School of Engineering has designed our Undeclared option without a capacity constraint on all non co-operative education programs that we offer once you have been accepted into the program. We strongly suggest for students that want co-op, to apply directly into a program from high school. Co-op spaces are limited to availability and change from year to year.

CO-OP:

If you wish to pursue co-op, it is recommended you apply to the co-op stream of the major you are most interested in directly from high school, rather than selecting the Undeclared Entry, as placements in the co-op stream are limited.

Obtaining a co-op position through in-course application is challenging due to competitiveness and high demand for the co-op stream.

Victoria - Undeclared Student

Victoria
Undeclared Entry

Given the University of Guelph's engineering reputation, I was nervous, however, very excited once I received my acceptance. Unsure about what stream of engineering I should go into, the general first year courses allowed me to find the things I was most interested in as well as talk to older students, faculty, academic advisors and professors about deciding on the one that was for me. The flexibility of the program allows me to pursue a varsity sport which was also extremely important to me in my decision. I chose to begin my path in the Environmental Engineering discipline and have loved every minute since!
