What you study	Artificial Intelligence Computer Science Software Engineering	Business Studies Computer Games Others in Business & Administrative Studies Sport & Exercise Science	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Software Engineering
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.	Sports Administration teaches you how to run the business side of sports organizations, from budgeting and marketing to facility management and event planning. You'll study both general business skills and sport-specific topics like exercise science and athlete management. This program suits people who love sports but want careers in leadership and operations rather than playing or coaching.	You study how to design and build computer software and systems from the ground up, combining computer science theory with practical engineering problem-solving. This is more applied and hardware-focused than a pure computer science degree, and the co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. It suits people who want hands-on experience in real jobs while learning, and who prefer the structured engineering approach to software development.
