What it isYou 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.Artificial Intelligence is the study of how to design computer systems that can learn, make decisions, and solve problems with minimal human instruction. This program embeds four paid work terms throughout your degree, alternating with school terms, so you gain industry experience while learning theory. It suits students who want hands-on experience alongside rigorous training in machine learning, data analysis, and intelligent systems, and who are ready to balance classroom study with workplace responsibilities.A Bachelor of Arts is a three-year undergraduate degree where you study humanities and social sciences rather than sciences or professional fields. You choose a major from subjects like English, history, philosophy, or geography, and take electives across the range offered. It suits students who want broad knowledge in how people, societies, and ideas work, without committing to a specific career path at the start.
