What it is	Artificial Intelligence Engineering teaches you how to design systems and machines that can learn and make decisions like humans do, combining computer hardware, software, and AI techniques. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, so you build real engineering experience while studying. The Management option adds business and leadership courses alongside the engineering core. This program suits students who want hands-on engineering work with AI technology and value learning in a workplace setting.	This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.	Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.
