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 arts subjects alongside business fundamentals in a joint-major degree. This combines the breadth of humanities and social sciences with business skills like finance, management, and organizational thinking, rather than letting you focus on just one. It suits people who want a flexible foundation for careers that blend analytical and communication skills across diverse fields.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
