| 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. | This program teaches you how to create digital content across animation, game design, and visual media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical skills with creative and design thinking. It suits people who want to build things that people see and interact with, rather than work mainly on backend systems or theory. | This program trains you to teach science — biology, chemistry, or computer science — at the middle and intermediate school levels in French-language schools. You earn your Bachelor of Science and teaching qualification simultaneously by combining science courses with education coursework, rather than studying science first and then adding teacher training afterward. It suits students who are fluent in French, strong in science, and committed to teaching younger students. | This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies. |
