What it isThis combined degree lets you earn a science undergraduate degree in chemistry or physics alongside an MBA. Unlike completing these as separate programs over many years, you finish both in an accelerated timeline by blending coursework. It suits people drawn to technical sciences who also want business leadership skills, often for roles where scientific knowledge and management overlap.Computer Science at Western teaches you how to write programs, build software systems, and solve problems using computers and code. You choose a focus — such as game development, managing information systems, or engineering robust software — based on your interests. The program includes paid work terms alongside your studies, letting you apply classroom learning in real jobs and build professional experience before you graduate.
