What it isComputer 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.You study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.You study how to design, build, and troubleshoot electrical systems and devices, from power grids to circuits in phones and computers. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work in industry while you study, giving you hands-on experience alongside classroom learning. It suits you if you like physics and math, want to solve practical problems with electricity and electronics, and value real-world work experience.
