What you study	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Software Engineering	Business Studies Information Systems Management Management Studies
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.	You study how to use data and statistics to solve business problems, combined with core courses in accounting, management, and information systems. The co-op stream builds in paid work terms at companies, letting you apply what you learn in real settings, whereas the regular stream is full-time classes. This suits you if you're comfortable with numbers and want to blend technical skills with business strategy, and especially if you want real workplace experience before graduating.
