What you study	Artificial Intelligence Computer Games Computer Science Information Systems	Artificial Intelligence Computer Animation and Visual Effects Computer Games Software Engineering	Artificial Intelligence Computer Science Finance Information Systems
What it is	You study the design, development, and theory behind computer programs and systems — from artificial intelligence and game design to information management. This program lets you do paid work terms with employers alongside your classes, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on industry experience early and are curious about how software and systems actually work in practice.	Computer Science at Windsor covers programming, systems design, and problem-solving with technology. You can specialize in areas like artificial intelligence, game development, animation, or software engineering depending on your degree choice. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain industry experience alongside your studies — a fit if you want hands-on learning and want to test career paths before graduating.	You study how to use data and statistical tools to solve problems in finance and banking. The program combines computer science, mathematics, and finance, so you learn to build models and analyze trends rather than just learning finance theory or coding separately. It includes paid work terms with employers, giving you real experience before you graduate. This suits people who want a technical, analytical career in financial institutions or companies that rely on data to make decisions.
