What you study	Computer Science Information Systems	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Mathematics Statistics
What it is	You study how to protect computer networks and systems from cyberattacks and security threats. The program combines practical networking skills with specialized knowledge in security protocols, encryption, and threat detection. It suits students who want technical IT work focused specifically on defending data and infrastructure rather than general software development or systems administration.	You study how to extract useful patterns and insights from large datasets by combining computer science and mathematics. Unlike a standalone computer science or math degree, you learn to write code, build algorithms, and apply statistical and mathematical theory specifically to solve data problems. This program suits you if you want technical depth in multiple areas and are willing to do paid work terms alongside your classes over five years.
