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.	This program lets you study mathematics while choosing how to apply it — through business, economics, statistics, artificial intelligence, or education. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you're expected to connect mathematical theory to real-world problems in fields like finance, operations, or data analysis. It suits students who enjoy math but want flexibility to explore where it leads them, rather than committing to one specialty upfront.
