Program Overview
Whether you’re interested in programming, networking or harnessing the power of big data, computer science is about connecting people and technology to solve real-world problems. You’ll learn from faculty with diverse interests – from artificial intelligence and virtual reality to cyber security and machine learning – in small classes and labs.
During your studies you’ll have opportunities to apply your knowledge in projects that have you working with community partners, not-for-profit organizations and other university faculties in ways that build your professional network and leave you engaged, confident and job-ready.
Choose to pursue a general computer science major that is flexible and allows you to create a focus that reflects your interests, or focus on one of three streams: database and interactive visualization, system and information security, or video gaming.
Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a foundational general degree that provides broad and widely applicable knowledge and abilities rather than a niche specialization. This broad base equips graduates with generalist knowledge and skills that give the flexibility and agility so highly valued in a dynamic world economy. It also offers students a solid foundation to specialize in future employment or further schooling.
General Program Information
The BSc requires students to complete 120 credits of non-duplicative coursework. The BSc emphasizes breadth and depth and has been designed for exceptional flexibility and customization. Students can complete a major and a minor, a double major, or a major and two minors. Students can choose a secondary major in an Arts or Science discipline, but the primary major must be in a Science discipline.
All newly admitted students enter the BSc program as “Undeclared.” Undeclared means a student has not yet chosen their major(s) and minor(s). Students may declare at any time after being accepted to the BSc, and typically, they declare after completing a minimum of 45 credits. The declaration period for noncompetitive majors and minors is between September 1 and February 15 and between September 1 and January 15 for competitive majors and minors. The Arts and Science Academic Advising Office will send information about majors and minors via email and newsletters; please contact the Advising Office if you require further assistance with this decision.
