What you study	Computer Games Computer Science Software Engineering	Accounting Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Finance	Accounting Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Economics
What it is	You study how to design and build software and computer systems, with options to specialize in game development. The co-op requirement means you complete paid work terms at tech companies alongside your classroom learning, giving you real industry experience before graduation. This program suits students who want hands-on technical training and the chance to build a professional network early in their degree.	You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, with options to specialize in areas like artificial intelligence applications or data management. Unlike a general business degree, this program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs with employers. It suits people who want practical workplace experience alongside their business education and are ready to commit time to both studying and working.	This program lets you study mathematics while choosing how to apply it — through business, economics, statistics, artificial intelligence, or education. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you're expected to connect mathematical theory to real-world problems in fields like finance, operations, or data analysis. It suits students who enjoy math but want flexibility to explore where it leads them, rather than committing to one specialty upfront.
