| What it is | Computer Science is the study of how to design, build, and improve software and the systems that run it. You learn programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving techniques that apply across industries. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you spend time applying what you learn in real jobs alongside classroom study, which sets it apart from a straight academic stream. | Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects. | You study how businesses use technology and data to operate and make decisions. This program combines commerce fundamentals with information systems, so you focus on how companies manage software, networks, and digital tools rather than just general business. It suits people who want a business career but prefer working with technology and solving technical problems within an organization. | This program teaches you how to manage technology projects and systems within organizations. You study information technology combined with business and management skills, so you learn both how technology works and how to lead teams and make decisions around it. A mandatory co-op term means you'll work in a real IT management role during your degree, which suits people who want hands-on experience before graduating. |
