What it isComputer Science at Windsor covers programming, systems design, and problem-solving with technology. You can specialize in areas like artificial intelligence, game development, animation, or software engineering depending on your degree choice. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain industry experience alongside your studies — a fit if you want hands-on learning and want to test career paths before graduating.You study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation.You study an arts or media subject like drama, creative writing, fine art, or music while simultaneously completing teacher training. Unlike a regular arts degree followed by separate teacher certification, you earn both your subject degree and your teaching credential in one integrated program. This suits people who know they want to teach their artistic passion and want to combine the two paths from the start.
