What it is	This program combines computer science and business study, so you learn both how to build software systems and how organizations work. Unlike a straight computer science degree, you'll take business courses alongside your programming and technical work. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies. It suits people who want technical skills but also care about the business side of how software gets made and sold.	Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.	Arts and Humanities programs at Western let you study literature, history, languages, creative work, and visual art — subjects focused on human culture and expression rather than science or business. You can pursue a general BA, combine business with arts, earn a specialized BFA in fine art, or complete a shorter certificate or diploma. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements related to your field. This suits people drawn to writing, analysis, visual creativity, or understanding how societies and cultures work.	An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences — literature, history, languages, creative writing, drama, economics, or anthropology — with flexibility to combine subjects. The co-op option alternates your studies with paid work terms in related fields, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want a liberal arts education but also want to test out careers and build a professional network while studying.
