About these numbers
Graduation, employment and retention come from the Common University Data Ontario tables published by the Council of Ontario Universities, the same year for every school so they can be compared: graduates of 2021 two years later, students who started in 2015 finishing by 2022, and students who started in 2021 coming back for second year. Where a school is missing from those tables, its own figure is used and its year is shown.
Tuition and the official admission ranges come from each university's own fee schedules and program pages. Tuition is first year, tuition only, for students from Ontario.
Admission averages "reported by students" are the median of offers shared by Ontario applicants in the r/OntarioGrade12s admissions spreadsheet (2025-26), posted by u/Regular-Database9310 on r/OntarioGrade12s. Shown only where at least 10 students reported. They are not official and they move every year.
Pay is Statistics Canada's median for all Ontario graduates in the field, because no one publishes pay by university.
Everything is grouped by broad field of study, because that is how the government and the universities report outcomes. A specific program can differ from its field. Check the university's own page before you apply.
