What it is	This 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.	You study the design, development, and theory behind computer software and systems. In the co-op stream, you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to build real-world coding skills early and explore whether they prefer software development, artificial intelligence, games, or other computing specializations while earning money.	You study both business management and finance alongside advanced statistics and quantitative methods, earning two degrees instead of one. Unlike a single business degree, this program embeds rigorous statistical and mathematical training throughout, preparing you to work with complex financial data and models. It suits students who want careers in investment analysis, risk management, or quantitative finance and are comfortable with both business concepts and higher mathematics.
