Undergraduate Program
In first year students must take
COMP 1010, COMP 1020, MATH 1300
(or MATH 1310) and MATH 1500
(or MATH 1510,MATH 1520,MATH 1690), along with 18 credit hours of electives. Statistics
STAT 1000 must
be completed by the end of Year 2.
If a student does not meet entrance requirements he/she may attempt the second
year entry route. In second year she/he must register for the required courses
(COMP 2080, COMP 2130, COMP 2140, COMP 2150, COMP 2160,
COMP 2280) and obtain a minimum C+ average on 15 credit hours of these Computer
Science courses. As well, a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00 must
be attained.
Information regarding the third year entry route can be obtained by talking with a Faculty of Science advisor or the departmental advisor.
In first year students must take COMP 1010, COMP 1020, MATH 1300 (or MATH1310) and MATH 1500 (or MATH 1510,MATH 1520,MATH 1690), along with 18 credit hours of electives. Statistics STAT 1000 must be completed by the end of second year so it is strongly recommended that students take this course in first year. To be eligible to enter the Honours program a student must attain a minimum grade of B in COMP 102, a C average in MATH130 (or MATH131) and MATH150 (or MATH151,MATH152,MATH169)plus an overall grade point average of 2.50. In subsequent years the overall grade point average must be maintained at 3.00, with a minimum sessional grade point average of 2.50. No failures are permitted.
If a student does not meet entrance requirements she/he may attempt the second
year entry route. In second year he/she must register for the required Computer
Science courses (COMP 2080, COMP 2130, COMP 2140,
COMP 2150, COMP 2160, and COMP 2280) and obtain a minimum B average on these 18 credit
hours of Computer Science courses. As well, a minimum sessional grade point
average of 3.00 must be attained. Again, no failures are permitted.
Information regarding the third year entry route can be obtained by talking with a Faculty of Science advisor or the departmental advisor.
