What it isYou study computer science — writing code, building software, and solving problems with computers — while working in paid job placements throughout your degree. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between semesters of classes and semesters working at real companies, giving you professional experience alongside your education. The Management option adds business and organizational courses if you want to move toward leadership roles; the straight Computer Science path suits you if you want to focus purely on technical skills and software development.A Bachelor of Science (General) lets you study science broadly across biology, chemistry, environmental science, and related fields, choosing your own mix of courses rather than specializing deeply in one area. Unlike an honours program, it gives you flexibility to explore multiple sciences without committing to a single major or meeting the tighter requirements of a specialized stream. This suits students who are curious about science in general but aren't yet sure which direction appeals to them most.
