What you study	Computer Science	Human Biology Nursing
What it is	Computer Science I is an introductory computer science program where you learn programming, algorithms, and core computational concepts. It differs from some other programs because it includes a mandatory co-op component, giving you paid work experience in tech roles alongside your studies. This program suits students who want hands-on industry experience early and are curious about whether computer science matches their strengths before committing to upper-year specializations.	You study how to become a registered nurse, learning anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical skills through classroom and hospital placements. This four-year program combines theory with hands-on patient care experience, preparing you to write the licensing exam and work in hospitals, clinics, or community health settings. It suits people who want direct healthcare practice and can commit to shift work and emotionally demanding environments.
