What it is	Computer 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.	Human Kinetics focuses on how the body moves, exercises, and stays healthy, with a specialization in teaching and coaching. You'll study exercise science, sports performance, and coaching methods, then apply them in school and community settings. This program suits people who want to combine science with hands-on work in physical education or coaching rather than pursue pure academic research in biology.
