What it isYou study how to extract useful patterns and insights from large sets of data using computer science, mathematics, and statistics. The Co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at companies throughout your degree, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. The Management option adds business and organizational courses if you want to lead data projects or work in strategy rather than focus purely on technical analysis.You study business and computer science together as one integrated degree, learning both how to manage organizations and how to build software systems. Unlike a regular business degree, you gain technical depth in programming, databases, and systems design alongside strategy and finance. This suits students who want to work at the intersection of technology and business — such as roles in software product management, IT strategy, or startup development — and who are comfortable with demanding math and coding coursework.You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.You study business fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, management, and human resources — while earning a degree from both University of Ottawa and a partner institution abroad. The dual degree means you spend time at two universities and graduate with credentials from both, giving you international experience and exposure to different business practices. This suits students who want a business foundation with global perspective and the opportunity to study and work in another country.
