The following are considered Science programs in the B.A.&Sc.:
The Minor Concentration in Computer Science is designed for students
who want to gain a basic understanding of computer science
principles. Basic computer science skills are important in many domains.
Thus, the Minor Concentration in Computer Science is useful
for students majoring in any discipline.
The Major Concentration in Computer Science represents an in-depth introduction to
computer science and its sub-areas.
The Major Concentration in Software Engineering focuses on the
techniques and methodology required to design and develop complex
software systems. It may be used to satisfy part of the requirements for a B.A.&Sc. degree.
This program does not lead to certification as a Professional Engineer.
- Possible course schedules.
