What it is	Computer 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.	Data Science is the study of extracting useful insights and predictions from large amounts of data using mathematics, statistics, and computer programming. This program combines mathematics and statistics with practical business and economics applications, so you learn both the theory behind data analysis and how to apply it to real-world problems. It suits people who enjoy working with numbers and want to understand how organizations use data to make decisions, especially if you want hands-on workplace experience through co-op placements.
