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.	You study the science of human movement and fitness combined with teaching and coaching methods. This program integrates exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport psychology with practical skills in coaching athletes and leading fitness programs. Unlike a pure kinesiology degree, this one prepares you directly for careers coaching teams or instructing fitness classes. It suits people who want to work in sports, recreation, or wellness settings and learn both the scientific reasoning and hands-on teaching side.	Kinesiology is the study of how the human body moves and functions during exercise and physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics alongside sport science to understand muscle, bone, and cardiovascular systems. This program suits students interested in exercise science, athletic performance, or health-related careers who want deeper biological knowledge than general physical education offers.
