What it is	You study how to design, build, and test software systems — the programs and applications that run on computers and devices. This program combines hands-on coding and engineering theory, and requires you to do paid work terms with real companies throughout your degree, so you graduate with professional experience alongside your training. It suits people who want to solve problems with code and are ready to balance classroom learning with actual software development jobs.	You study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.	This program lets you study mathematics while choosing how to apply it — through business, economics, statistics, artificial intelligence, or education. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you're expected to connect mathematical theory to real-world problems in fields like finance, operations, or data analysis. It suits students who enjoy math but want flexibility to explore where it leads them, rather than committing to one specialty upfront.
