List of Civil Engineering Universities in Canada

Civil engineering deals with the construction of man-made structures, such as buildings, roads, bridges and canals. Engineers in this discipline work in the design, building and maintenance of these facilities. Civil engineering students in Canada have many opportunities to earn four-year, master's and doctoral degrees in civil engineering, thanks to university programs throughout the country.

Ontario

No province has more universities with civil engineering programs than Ontario. In Toronto, the province's largest city, students can attend the University of Toronto. There are plenty of options outside Toronto, including the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University, both in Kingston; Carleton University and the University of Ottawa, both in Ottawa; and McMaster University in Hamilton. Three more programs can be found at schools in Windsor, Waterloo and London.

Quebec

For Canadian students seeking a degree program in civil engineering, Quebec's capital of Montreal offers three well-regarded options. Concordia University offers the program, up to a doctorate, through its Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering. McGill University also offers programs up to the doctoral level, as well as École Polytechnique de Montréal. Outside Montreal, other schools in Quebec offering civil engineering courses include Université de Sherbrooke in Sherbrooke and Université Laval in Sainte-Foy.

East Coast

There are options for civil engineering degrees on the east coast of Canada. Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, provides classes in its Department of Civil Engineering, all the way up to a doctorate. The Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's provides its civil engineering coursework under the umbrella of the Department of Engineering and Applied Science. In New Brunswick, students can take courses at the University of New Brunswick at Fredericton.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan

In Manitoba, civil engineering students can head for the province's largest city, Winnipeg, and attend the University of Manitoba. In Saskatchewan, students go to Saskatoon, where they can attend the University of Saskatchewan. Both schools have departments of civil engineering.

Alberta and British Columbia

The best options in Canada's westernmost lower provinces are in each province's largest city. The University of Calgary provides coursework in its Department of Civil Engineering. The University of British Columbia, located in Vancouver, also has a Department of Civil Engineering.
