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 combines a degree in the social sciences with professional training as a social worker. You study human behaviour, social policy, and sociology in the first part, then move into specialized social work practice and ethics. It suits people who want both a broad understanding of society and the credentials to work directly with individuals, families, and communities facing challenges.	You study how to help people and communities solve social problems by combining practical social work skills with an understanding of policy and systems. This four-year program prepares you to work directly with clients — individuals, families, or groups facing poverty, abuse, mental health challenges, or other hardships — while also learning how social policies shape these issues. It suits people who want hands-on helping work but also care about the larger systems and laws that affect people's lives.
