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.	You study how to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to solve real business problems: everything from predicting customer behaviour to optimizing operations. This program combines computer science and business strategy rather than treating them separately, so you learn both the technical skills to build AI systems and the business judgment to know when and how to use them. It suits people who like math and coding but also want to understand how companies actually make decisions.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.
