What it is	You study how to build computer systems that learn and make decisions on their own, using mathematics, programming, and data analysis. This program pairs computer science fundamentals with a focused specialization in artificial intelligence techniques and applications. A co-op component lets you work terms in industry alongside your studies. It suits people who want hands-on experience applying AI to real problems while completing their degree.	You study how to design and build intelligent computer systems that can learn and make decisions, combining electrical engineering, software, and AI principles. The engineering and management option adds business and leadership courses alongside the technical work, preparing you for roles managing engineering teams or projects. This program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid industry experience. It suits students who want hands-on engineering training with real-world application and are comfortable with rigorous math and physics foundations.	You study both music and computer science as a full double degree, earning separate BA and BSc credentials in five years instead of doing them sequentially. This combines technical programming and software skills with music theory, performance, composition, or musicology depending on your choices. It suits people who are genuinely strong in both fields and want depth in each rather than a minor, and who have the stamina for a demanding combined workload.
