What it is	Computer Science is the study of how to design, build, and understand software and computer systems. At Ontario Tech, you can choose between a straight science degree or combine it with management courses, which prepares you for roles where you lead tech projects or teams. The program includes a co-op component, giving you paid work terms at companies alongside your classes, which suits students who want real experience before graduating.	Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.	You study business management fundamentals including accounting, finance, marketing, and organizational behaviour, with flexibility to specialize in areas like human resources. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, letting you apply what you learn in real settings. This program suits students interested in business careers who want practical workplace experience alongside their degree.	You study business fundamentals combined with specialized training in human resources — how to recruit, develop, manage, and support employees within organizations. Unlike a general commerce degree, this program focuses specifically on HR strategy, workplace relations, and people management. It suits students interested in organizational leadership who want practical work experience alongside their coursework, since the co-op option integrates paid internships into your studies.
