What it isThis program teaches you how to design, build, and test software and computer systems. You study programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and how computers work at a fundamental level. It suits people who enjoy problem-solving and logical thinking, whether you want to work in industry, research, or develop your own applications.This program combines science courses with business studies, so you study both scientific subjects like chemistry, biology, or computer science alongside accounting, management, and economics. Unlike a straight science degree, you gain practical knowledge of how science-based industries operate and how to manage projects or companies. It suits students who want a science career but also care about the business side — whether that's starting a science company, managing research teams, or working in science-related industries.You study business and computer science together, learning both management and programming skills in an integrated program rather than as two separate degrees. The co-op component requires you to complete paid work terms alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience in tech or business roles. This suits people who want technical skills plus business knowledge and are willing to balance classroom time with multiple work placements over four or five years.
