What it is	You study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.	This program combines business studies with social sciences — covering how companies interact with society, economics, politics, and culture. Unlike a straight business degree, you study sociology, communication, literature, and politics alongside core business courses to understand the human and social side of organizations. It suits students interested in business who also want to explore ethics, culture, and how society shapes markets.	You study how to plan and run recreation programs, facilities, and leisure services — everything from community centres and sports leagues to tourism and event management. This program combines business skills with hands-on knowledge of how people use their free time and how organizations serve those needs. It suits people who want to work in the recreation and hospitality sector but prefer a management and planning focus over hands-on coaching or guiding.
