| What it is | A program in which you study how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems. The BCS degree focuses more on the theory and mathematics behind computing, while the BA allows you to combine computer science with other subjects. Both paths prepare you for software development, systems design, or related technical roles, and include paid work terms through co-op so you gain real experience while studying. | You study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation. |
