What you study	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Information Systems Software Engineering	Accounting Business Studies Entrepreneurship Finance
What it is	You study how to design and build software and computing systems that solve real engineering problems. This program combines computer science with broader engineering principles, so you learn both coding and how systems fit into larger projects. You complete paid work terms alongside your studies, giving you industry experience before you graduate. It suits people who want hands-on engineering work, not just pure programming.	Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.
