| What it is | You study the design, development, and theory behind computer software and systems. In the co-op stream, you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to build real-world coding skills early and explore whether they prefer software development, artificial intelligence, games, or other computing specializations while earning money. | 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. | Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field. | Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization. |
