What it is	Computer Science at Trent is a degree in programming, algorithms, and how computers work at a fundamental level. You learn to write code, solve computational problems, and understand the theory behind software and systems. This is a traditional academic program rather than a work-integrated or professional track, so it suits students who want a broad foundation in computing before deciding on a career direction.	Computer Science at Windsor covers programming, systems design, and problem-solving with technology. You can specialize in areas like artificial intelligence, game development, animation, or software engineering depending on your degree choice. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain industry experience alongside your studies — a fit if you want hands-on learning and want to test career paths before graduating.	This program combines computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical coding skills with creative design and artistic principles. It suits people who want to build things on screen and understand both the programming and visual art sides of digital production.
