Bachelor of Science: Major in Computing Science

This four year program trains students in the traditional manner of computing science degrees. As students begin the first two years of this program with a broad array of science and math courses, they have a solid foundation in scientific theory and mathematics. The latter two years entail concentrated studies in both theory and practical applications within the computing science field. Computing Science students are able to assume co-op positions similar to that of BTACS (software engineers, network administrators, and database systems development managers) students or they have the option to pursue graduate studies.

Student Availability

Students in Bachelor of Science in Computing Science program are available in May, September and January for four, eight or twelve months. For more co-op student availability information, please contact the Co-operative Education Department.
