X. Degree Programs
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
Computing and Information Science (CIS)
Department of Computing and Information Science, College of Physical and Engineering Science.
The B.Sc. Programs in Computing and Information Science (CIS) provide a solid foundation in software design and computer applications, especially in the physical and biological sciences. The Major offers substantial computing experience, as well as an understanding of both fundamental principles and modern applications. The minor provides sufficient software experience to enable significant contribution to many areas of application.
Computing and Information Science Major (Honours Program)
Students may enter this major in Semester 1 or any semester thereafter. A student wishing to declare the major must consult the Faculty Advisor. The Major requires 12.0 credits in computing, mathematics and statistics, of which 2.5 credits are CIS electives. Other electives must include at least 1.50 in science courses with at least 0.50 at the 3000 level or above. At least 1.00 credit must be in the Arts of Social Sciences, and 0.5 remaining credit in the introductory science sequence (see note in semester 2)
Semester 1
Students who are admitted deficient in one OAC/4U course in Biology, Chemistry or Physics must take the equivalent introductory course in first semester. The first-year science core in that subject should be completed by Semester 3.
