What you study	Nursing	Computer Science Information Systems Software Engineering	Artificial Intelligence Computer Engineering Computer Science Electronic & Electrical Engineering
What it is	You study nursing, learning how to provide direct patient care, manage health conditions, and work within hospital and community health settings. Unlike a general health sciences program, nursing focuses specifically on clinical skills and the theory of caring for people across their lifespan. This program suits people who want hands-on healthcare work and are comfortable with science and human interaction.	This program teaches you how to design, build, and test software and computer systems. You learn programming, algorithms, data structures, and how computers work at a fundamental level. The co-op option requires you to complete paid work terms at companies alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate — something most computer science programs don't mandate.	Computer Engineering combines the design of computer hardware and software systems with practical work experience. Unlike a regular computer engineering program, this version requires you to complete paid work terms alongside your studies, alternating between school and industry jobs. It suits people who want hands-on experience in tech roles while earning money and building a professional network during their degree.
