The ability to create, manipulate, and speak the language of technology has become one of the most valued skillsets applicable to almost every industry. This skillset is uniquely developed when studied through the lens of the typical user: humans. When you study Computing Systems, you will bring digital tech to life, by applying theories of ethics, law and culture to develop the form and function of digital environments. This degree will prepare you to work in the ever-changing tech sector, as you also have the option to learn to code, calculate and scientifically study software applications for devices (but also you don’t have to if math isn’t your thing).

Degrees Offered:

  • B.A.

Locations:

  • Durham GTA
