Course Description

Program Description Computer science is the study of software, algorithms and computing. Our program explores a breadth of computing fundamentals, including data structures, graphics, information visualization, human-computer interfaces, software quality, programming, artificial intelligence, databases, data analytics, machine vision and more. You can pursue the comprehensive program or choose the Data Science or Digital Media specialization. DATA SCIENCE This specialization is in response to the urgent need for data scientists capable of turning vast quantities of data into insight. You will develop the necessary problem-solving, critical thinking, analytical, computational and communication skills to meet employers’ needs. Graduates will be highly sought after in a variety of industries, including health care, finance and business consulting. DIGITAL MEDIA The Digital Media specialization covers topics such as computer graphics, information visualization, human- computer interaction, machine vision and mobile development. You will study the underlying technologies used in computer games, educational software, mobile devices and other forms of digital media through the science that informs it. This option is especially suitable for students who are directly interested in digital media or a related field. SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT If you are interested in managerial and leadership roles, consider applying for the five-year Bachelor of Science and Management (Honors) program in your upper years of study. Graduates gain a solid foundation in the key functional areas of business and management, including finance, accounting, operations, project management and marketing. In addition to their specialization, five-year Bachelor of Science and Management (Honours) program graduates also gain a solid foundation in the key functional areas of business and management, including finance, accounting, operations, project management and marketing. There is a wealth of opportunities for science graduates in industry, government, and in areas of applied science. The combination of a science degree and business and management education will give an added advantage to graduates in establishing careers within these practical fields.
