What it isComputer Science at Western teaches you how to write programs, build software systems, and solve problems using computers and code. You choose a focus — such as game development, managing information systems, or engineering robust software — based on your interests. The program includes paid work terms alongside your studies, letting you apply classroom learning in real jobs and build professional experience before you graduate.You earn a teaching degree while specializing in sports administration, preparing you to teach junior and intermediate students (grades 4–10) and manage school or community sports programs. Unlike a straight education degree, this program embeds business and sports science courses so you graduate qualified to teach and equipped with skills in program planning, budgeting, and athletic management. It suits students who want a teaching career but also care about sports leadership and see themselves running school teams or athletic initiatives.You study an undergraduate arts degree in a subject like anthropology, English, or criminology, then continue into a master's in business administration, all while working in paid internships throughout the program. The co-op placements let you gain real workplace experience in business and related fields alongside your coursework. This suits people who want to combine deeper knowledge in a humanities or social science area with professional business training and aren't sure whether they want to jump straight into an MBA right after high school.
