How much will your salary be after graduating from a Canadian university? Well, that largely depends on your bachelor's degree — and also, sadly, your gender (the wage gap is real).

The lists below rank the top 15 bachelor's degrees based on the highest earnings five years after graduation (prior to the COVID-19 pandemic) from a recent Statistics Canada study.

Since the salaries vary by gender, the list has been divided into male bachelor's degrees and female bachelor's degrees.

Note that all salaries are based on 2017 constant dollars. Where Statistics Canada did not specify exact amounts, approximations are given based on the charts provided.
