What it isComputer Science at Wilfrid Laurier Milton teaches you to design, build, and troubleshoot software and systems. Both the BA and BSc paths cover the same core material, but the BSc includes more math and science depth, while the BA offers more flexibility to study other subjects alongside programming and theory. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in tech companies. This program suits people who want hands-on technical skills and real workplace experience before graduating.You study science and business together in one program, combining technical subjects like chemistry or biology with courses in marketing, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. Unlike a regular science degree with a business minor added on, this program integrates both throughout, so you learn how science discoveries become commercial products. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work placements. This suits students who want a science background but also care about bringing ideas to market or running a company.This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field.
