| 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. | You study both business and mathematics together in one integrated degree, with mandatory work terms built into your schedule. Unlike a regular double degree where you'd finish one program then move to the other, you take courses from both fields simultaneously over five years, alternating between school and paid co-op placements. This suits students who want to combine analytical problem-solving with business skills and are willing to commit to the longer timeline and work requirement. | You study computer science and mathematics together as equally important subjects, rather than taking one as your main focus. This joint honours program lets you combine theoretical math with practical computing skills in ways a single-subject program cannot. It suits students who enjoy both fields and want to understand how mathematics powers computational problem-solving. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
