What it is	This program lets you study science by mixing chemistry, physics, and other fields rather than focusing on just one. You design your own pathway through courses across multiple disciplines, so you might combine chemistry with environmental science or physics with biology depending on your interests. It suits students who want flexibility to explore where different sciences connect instead of committing to a single specialization.	You study the mathematical and programming foundations of artificial intelligence and data analysis, including how to build systems that learn from large datasets and make predictions. This program goes deeper into AI and statistics than a general computer science degree. It suits people who want to work with machine learning, data analysis, or AI systems and are comfortable with both math and coding.	You study both computer science and physics together, learning to code and build software alongside the theory and maths of how the physical world works. This combined degree lets you apply computational methods to physics problems rather than choosing one subject. It suits students curious about how computers can model and solve real-world physical phenomena.	Science One is a general first-year science program that lets you explore multiple science disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and others — before committing to a specific major. Unlike entering directly into a single science program, you take a broader range of foundational courses to discover which field best suits you. It works well for students who are interested in science but unsure which specialization to pursue.
