What it isComputer Science is a four-year degree covering the design, development, and theory behind software and computer systems, with options to specialize in artificial intelligence or software engineering. The co-op stream lets you alternate between study terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. This program suits students who enjoy problem-solving and coding, and who want to build professional experience before graduating.This program teaches you how to design, build, and test software and computer systems. You learn programming, algorithms, data structures, and how computers work at a fundamental level. The co-op option requires you to complete paid work terms at companies alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate — something most computer science programs don't mandate.Cybersecurity is the study of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from attacks and breaches. You learn defensive programming, threat analysis, and security design alongside core computer science and artificial intelligence concepts. The built-in co-op placements let you apply these skills in real security roles while you study, which suits people who want hands-on experience alongside theory.
