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 four-year program teaches you how to manage and implement technology systems within businesses — combining business strategy with information technology skills. Unlike a pure commerce degree, it focuses specifically on how companies use digital tools, data systems, and software to operate effectively. It suits students who want to work in roles that bridge business and IT, such as managing technology projects, analyzing business data, or overseeing digital transformation initiatives.
