What it isComputer 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.This program teaches you how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems, with courses in artificial intelligence and software engineering. You can choose to add a co-op stream, which alternates your study terms with paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want hands-on coding skills and either prefer learning theory in a classroom setting or want to test their skills in industry while studying.Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization.You study the fundamentals of running organizations and making business decisions, covering areas like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at real companies, giving you direct experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want practical business skills and a chance to test different roles before choosing a specialty.
