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.	You study business fundamentals with a focus on marketing strategy, consumer behaviour, and how companies promote and sell products or services. The co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at real companies alongside your courses, giving you workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want to understand both the broader business side and the specific marketing skills needed to launch campaigns, analyze markets, and build brands.	You study science and business together in one program, combining technical subjects like chemistry or biology with courses in marketing, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. Unlike a regular science degree with a business minor added on, this program integrates both throughout, so you learn how science discoveries become commercial products. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work placements. This suits students who want a science background but also care about bringing ideas to market or running a company.
