| What it is | A BComp General program teaches you the core theory and practice of building software and computer systems. Unlike specialized streams, this version lets you choose your own focus area — whether that's artificial intelligence, games, web development, or something else — rather than following a set path. It suits students who want solid computer science foundations and the freedom to explore different applications before committing to a specific specialization. | Computer Engineering combines the design and building of computer hardware and software systems. You'll study circuits, processors, programming, and how to integrate them into working devices — going deeper into the physical and mathematical foundations than a pure computer science program. This admission stream requires you to complete mandatory work terms alongside your studies, alternating between school and paid engineering jobs in industry. |

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.
