X. Degree Programs
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
Computing and Information Science (Co-op) (CIS:C)
Department of Computing and Information Science, College of Physical and Engineering Science
The 4 year Honours Program Major in Computing and Information Science is also available as a Co-operative Education Program. Three co-op work terms are required. A five year option with four work terms is also available. Please see the department's co-op academic advisor for details.
COOP*1100 must be completed in the 2nd academic semester (Winter of year 1). Students may apply for these options at the time of University admission or completion of semester 2.
Conditions for graduation are the same as the corresponding regular B.A. program. In addition, all work reports must have a grade of satisfactory or better.
Students are advised to plan their schedule of studies well in advance so that they can take all required prerequisites for later (especially 4000 level) courses. Students should note that some 4000 level courses are only given in alternate years. Failure to plan may result in the inability to take a particular senior CIS course. Recommended work terms are shown below:
