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.	This program teaches you how to manage money, investments, and financial decisions for businesses and organizations. Finance is more specialized than general commerce — you focus on banking, markets, and corporate finance rather than broader business topics. A co-op option lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms. It suits people who are comfortable with math, curious about how money moves through the economy, and want practical experience alongside their degree.	Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization.
