| What it is | You study how to protect computer systems and networks from cyberattacks by learning programming, software design, and artificial intelligence techniques. Unlike a general computer science degree, this program is built around real-world security problems and includes a co-op work term, so you apply what you learn in actual jobs while still studying. It suits people who want hands-on technical experience and are interested in the growing field of protecting digital information. | A BComp General program teaches you the core theory and practice of building software and computer systems. Unlike specialized streams, this version lets you choose your own focus area — whether that's artificial intelligence, games, web development, or something else — rather than following a set path. It suits students who want solid computer science foundations and the freedom to explore different applications before committing to a specific specialization. |
