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 design and build computer software and systems from the ground up, combining computer science theory with practical engineering problem-solving. This is more applied and hardware-focused than a pure computer science degree, and the co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. It suits people who want hands-on experience in real jobs while learning, and who prefer the structured engineering approach to software development.Artificial Intelligence is the study of how to design computer systems that can learn, make decisions, and solve problems with minimal human instruction. This program embeds four paid work terms throughout your degree, alternating with school terms, so you gain industry experience while learning theory. It suits students who want hands-on experience alongside rigorous training in machine learning, data analysis, and intelligent systems, and who are ready to balance classroom study with workplace responsibilities.
