What it isYou 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.Sports Administration teaches you how to run the business side of sports organizations, from budgeting and marketing to facility management and event planning. You'll study both general business skills and sport-specific topics like exercise science and athlete management. This program suits people who love sports but want careers in leadership and operations rather than playing or coaching.This program teaches you how to create digital content across animation, game design, and visual media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical skills with creative and design thinking. It suits people who want to build things that people see and interact with, rather than work mainly on backend systems or theory.
