What you study	Computer Science	Business Studies Design Others in Business & Administrative Studies Production & Manufacturing Engineering	Business Studies Finance Health Informatics Management Studies
What it is	You study the theory and practice of computer programming, algorithms, data structures, and software development. This program lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real-world experience while you learn. It suits people who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are comfortable juggling work and study schedules.	Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.	You study business and finance with a focus on health-care data and systems. This combines commerce training with health informatics, so you learn to analyze health-care operations and information rather than just general business. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in health-care or health-tech organizations. This program suits people interested in the business side of health care, who want practical work experience alongside their degree.
