Bachelor of Computing Science (BCS)

The Bachelor of Computing Science degree consists of two years of concentrated computing studies preceded by two years of general study. It is designed for those wishing to enter a in Computing Science, or for those wishing to pursue graduate studies. The program will mainly concentrate on small to medium business environments.

The degree will:

  • Enable students in academic streams to obtain a computing science degree.
  • Allow students with a 2 or 3 year Computing Science Diploma to continue their education and obtain a Degree in Computing Science.
  • Permit students in the B.Sc. and B.A. degrees more course options, including obtaining a Minor in Computing Science.
  • Allow past students the ability to upgrade skills to maintain or enhance employability.
  • Allow employees required to upgrade their skills, but not necessarily interested in completing the degree, to take needed courses.
