Top 20 Degree Programs in Ontario

Last weekend 118,000 people attended the Ontario Universities Fair at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. When I attended last year, it was very obvious to me what the popular universities are just by assessing the number of individuals at each booth. However, I was curious to know what the popular programs were.

So here are the top 20 degree programs for high schools students, by application volume, in Ontario for 2011 (the application numbers are in brackets):

1.     Arts (131,551)

2.     Science (80,559)

3.     Business Administration (58,664)

4.     Engineering (32,641)

5.     Physical and Health Education (16,484)

6.     Fine and Applied Arts (12,807)

7.     Nursing (12,129)

8.     Other Degrees (8,595)

9.     Education (8,096)

10.   Mathematics (5,538)

11.   Other Administration (4,233)

12.   Social Work (4,220)

13.   Family and Consumer Study (3,743)

14.   Environmental Studies (3,655)

15.   Journalism (3,383)
