- Allied Health Sciences

- Communication and Digital Media Studies
- Criminology and Justice
- Educational Studies and Digital Technology

UOIT and Canadore are committed to providing students with flexible college-to-university transfer options, and are looking forward to more Canadore graduates pursuing undergraduate degrees at UOIT.
