| What it is | Internet of Things is a program where you learn to design and program connected devices and systems that collect and share data — like sensors, smart home equipment, or industrial monitoring tools. You study both the hardware engineering and software needed to make these systems work together. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience before you graduate; the Management stream adds business and leadership courses if you want a path toward supervising teams or projects. | 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. | 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. |

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.
