What it is	Computer 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.	This program explores how science and technology shape society and vice versa — you study the social impacts of innovation, policy, ethics, and how people use technology in everyday life. Unlike a straight science or engineering program, you examine the human and social side of technical change rather than just the technical details. It suits students curious about how technology affects people and society who want hands-on work experience alongside their studies through the integrated co-op requirement.	You study how people communicate and how society works, combining media, journalism, and social analysis. Unlike a program focused only on communication or only on sociology, this joint degree lets you examine both how messages spread through society and why societies function the way they do. It suits students interested in understanding culture, institutions, and human behaviour through multiple lenses, and who want practical work experience alongside their studies.
