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 use data and statistics to solve business problems, combined with core courses in accounting, management, and information systems. The co-op stream builds in paid work terms at companies, letting you apply what you learn in real settings, whereas the regular stream is full-time classes. This suits you if you're comfortable with numbers and want to blend technical skills with business strategy, and especially if you want real workplace experience before graduating.You study how businesses use technology and data to operate and make decisions. This program combines commerce fundamentals with information systems, so you focus on how companies manage software, networks, and digital tools rather than just general business. It suits people who want a business career but prefer working with technology and solving technical problems within an organization.
