What you study	Artificial Intelligence Business Studies	Computer Animation and Visual Effects Computer Games Design	Artificial Intelligence Computer Animation and Visual Effects Computer Games Software Engineering
What it is	You study how to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to solve real business problems: everything from predicting customer behaviour to optimizing operations. This program combines computer science and business strategy rather than treating them separately, so you learn both the technical skills to build AI systems and the business judgment to know when and how to use them. It suits people who like math and coding but also want to understand how companies actually make decisions.	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.	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.
