What you study	Chemistry	Artificial Intelligence Computer Engineering Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering
What it is	Chemistry is the study of matter, reactions, and how substances interact and change. This program lets you choose between a standard four-year degree or a co-op option that includes paid work terms at companies or labs, giving you real workplace experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who enjoy hands-on experimentation and problem-solving with chemicals and materials, and who want either a direct path to further study or early exposure to chemistry careers.	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.
