  • Arts Major Concentration in Computer Science

    • The Major Concentration in Computer Science represents an in-depth introduction to computer science and its sub-areas. Students interested in further study in Computer Science can consider taking the Supplementary Minor Concentration in Computer Science to constitute a program very close to the Major in Computer Science offered by the Faculty of Science.

  • Arts Major Concentration in Software Engineering

    • 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. degree. This program does not lead to certification as a Professional Engineer.


  • Possible course schedules.
