What it is	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.	Smith Engineering's direct-entry computer engineering program lets you study the design and programming of computing systems from the ground up, combining software development with the electronics and electrical principles that make hardware work. Unlike applying to general engineering first, you enter this stream directly and follow a focused path in computer engineering throughout your degree. It suits students who are confident they want to build or optimize computer systems and hardware, not just write software in isolation.	You study the theory and practice of computing, from writing software and building systems to artificial intelligence and how businesses use technology. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits students who want hands-on industry exposure while learning, or who prefer the traditional full-time study path.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
