Computer science undergraduate programs

Major

The BSc in Computer Science will give you a comprehensive understanding of computational systems and software through courses in computer science, software engineering, mathematics and technical writing.

Through the first two years of study, you will gain a strong foundation in basic computer science and mathematics, with years three and four offering more specialized courses in a variety of areas, such as AI, graphics and gaming, human-computer interaction, information visualization and cryptography. With sufficiently high standing, entrance into the Honours Program or pursuing graduate studies are options.

Data Science

Data is changing how we understand the world. Pursuing a BSc in Data Science, you will learn how to turn data into decisions that make a real impact. Build strong foundations in software, mathematics and statistics, then apply them to real problems — from tracking climate change and improving health outcomes to optimizing business strategy and sports performance. You won’t just study data. You’ll learn how to use it responsibly, creatively and confidently.
