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 is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.	A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.
