What it is	A Liberal Science degree lets you study physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences without committing to a single specialization. Unlike a focused science program, this approach gives you flexibility to explore multiple science fields before choosing a direction or combining them in your final year. It suits students who are strong in science but unsure which branch appeals most, or who want a broad understanding of how different sciences connect.	You study computer science and mathematics together, learning to solve problems by combining coding skills with advanced mathematical theory. Unlike a regular computer science program, you're required to complete paid work terms with employers throughout your degree, giving you real professional experience alongside your studies. This suits students who want technical depth, enjoy both abstract math and practical programming, and prefer to earn money and build their resume while studying.
