What it is	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.	This is a science degree focusing on chemistry, computer science, mathematics, or physics, studied at a military college where your academic training is combined with military officer development and physical training. Unlike a civilian science program, you're committed to becoming a Canadian Armed Forces officer after graduation, which shapes your entire experience. It suits people who want advanced science training alongside leadership development and military service.	An Honours Mathematics degree means you study pure and applied mathematics at depth over four years, with required courses in calculus, algebra, analysis, and proof-based theory. Unlike a general math program, this honours stream demands rigorous mathematical reasoning and includes optional specializations through electives in computer science, physics, statistics, or economics. It suits students who enjoy abstract problem-solving and want a foundation for graduate studies or technical careers.
