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 an arts subject like English, history, or mathematics alongside teacher training designed for elementary and early middle school classrooms. You complete both a bachelor's degree and teaching credentials in four years instead of five, combining academic courses with education theory and practice teaching. This suits students certain they want to teach their subject to younger students and want to finish their degree and teaching qualification together.	This program lets you earn both an arts degree and a teaching qualification at the same time, typically in four years. You choose a subject to study deeply (like English, history, or math) while taking education courses that prepare you to teach junior and intermediate grades. It suits students who know they want to teach and want to combine subject expertise with classroom training from the start, rather than doing them separately.
