What you study	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Interdisciplinary Studies Music	Interdisciplinary Studies Mathematics Music	Artificial Intelligence Computer Engineering Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering
What it is	You study both music and computer science as a full double degree, earning separate BA and BSc credentials in five years instead of doing them sequentially. This combines technical programming and software skills with music theory, performance, composition, or musicology depending on your choices. It suits people who are genuinely strong in both fields and want depth in each rather than a minor, and who have the stamina for a demanding combined workload.	You study both music and mathematics as full degree programs over five years, earning separate Bachelor of Arts and Science degrees. Unlike a single major with a minor, you complete all requirements for both fields, which means substantial coursework in music theory, performance, and composition alongside calculus, linear algebra, and advanced mathematics. This program suits students who are genuinely committed to both subjects and want depth in each rather than choosing one primary field.	You study how to design and build computer systems, combining software and hardware engineering with applications like artificial intelligence. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you practical experience in industry while you study. It suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in computing and are willing to balance classroom learning with paid work semesters.
