Less demanding programs in Ontario universities?

Hi everyone, patiently looking through Ontario universities and their programs. Out of curiosity, are there particular programs in Ontario that are usually considered 'easier' to get into or to complete?

The term "easier" can be quite subjective, as it depends on an individual's skills, interests, and work ethic. However, if we're measuring ease in terms of acceptance rates, then there are certain programs and schools in Ontario that historically have higher acceptance rates.

For instance, humanities and social science programs generally have higher acceptance rates than programs like Engineering or Health Sciences. The acceptance rate for these programs is typically higher because they attract a large number of applicants, but the courses can still be rigorous and demanding.

Additionally, smaller universities often have higher acceptance rates than larger ones. For instance, Algoma University, Lakehead University, and Trent University often have higher acceptance rates overall compared to larger institutions like the University of Toronto or McMaster University.

However, it's important to remember that "less demanding" programs may not necessarily lead to your desired career outcome or fulfilment in your studies. It's crucial to balance future goals, enjoyment in the subject, and academic ability when choosing a program. In other words, it's typically most beneficial to choose a program based on interest and career goals, rather than perceived difficulty. It's more worthwhile, in the long run, to be in a program that you're passionate about and will perform well in because you're motivated to engage with the material. If you're dedicated and engaged, even a challenging program can be successfully completed.
