Question university fees question

Hi all, I have a question about tuition fees in Ontario.

Could you guys please tell me how much you pay a semester, for how many courses, university and program??

Thank you in advance!

The average fee for an undergrad BA is usually about $500/course, give or take.

So for a normal BA, 5 courses/semester, you are looking at $2500/semester, and $5000/year. I do believe these prices are 'regulated', and are some what standard.

Engineering courses pay more, and I have friends who pay between $5500-$8000/year depending on university, and actual program.

Its 4300/term (5 courses, co-op fee) for ECE engineering at Wloo.

Management (Commerce) @ U of T = ~$8000/yr.

Tuition fees for Arts & Science programs will start increasing in September. Up until now, they have been regulated. Commerce, computer science, and engineering fees have been deregulated for sometime.

My courses I take through CGA Ontario (the professional body for CGAs in Ontario) are approx. $450-$550, depending on the course.

Honors Business Administration @ western = $16,000 per year.
Program was deregulated about 5 or 6 years ago because technically it starts in your third year, after 2 years of studies in another undergraduate area. You still end up with a BA in business though...

Is this an Ivey HBA?


Posted by Skipper on Mar-02-2006 17:32:

Yes


Posted by c2lancas on Mar-02-2006 17:35:

Ah a name brand HBA

Don't get me wrong, it's a good program and 5-10 years ago was worth the premium in terms of job opportunities, but now I'd say you get the same recognition with a BComm from Queens or York.

I agree, the recongnition across the country would be probably be equal, but the extra 8g is partially because of the name (who knows maybe you get a fancy calculator).

University of Western Ontario - Undergraduate Engineering : 7 000 $ for the year (ie two 4 month terms)

THANK YOU

Quckie fact..

Management and Computer Science degree fees are de-regulated. So universities can charge as much as they want.

UofT charges just over $600 for 1/2 credit for management, and about $550 for comp-sci I believe. Hence, at at 5 credits, you're looking at $6000 + misc fees of $500-$1000 (ie co-op registration fee, admin fee, etc)

EDIT: I believe the "reasoning" for this is that when you graduate, you make more cash. so you should pay more when you study. What a croc of bull.

The only calculator you get is the one on the OSAP website telling you how long it will take to repay your student loan.

Doesn't it technically work out to the same thing though? I believe Arts & Sci undergrad at Western is a bit cheaper than U of T (~$4500/year). So 2x4500 + 2x16000 = 33000 @ Western. 4x8000 = 32000 @ U of T.

btw these fees are simply fucking crazy

I have a question for you guys, is it fair for an Ontarian student to study abroad, let say in the UK, at Ontarian rates, if UK students can do the same when they come to Ontario?

A kind of exchange program, where students from different countries could study a couple of semesters somewhere else at the rate their paying in their home province?

Well thats very difficult to keep fair. I think that could work for all regulated tuition programs, but not deregulated programs.

Deregulated programs can charge whatever they see fit as mentioned above, and this will vary from one uni/college to another. That means that one student could go on exchange for less than another student based on what they were paying before, yet still be in the exact same program.
