Program Description Algoma University has a reputation for having a world-class computer science program. With state-of-the-art technology and computer labs, along with small class sizes and one-on-one interactions with faculty, our computer science students are well-prepared to enter the work world immediately upon graduation.
In the computer science program at Algoma University, you will gain a strong theoretical and practical foundation in the study of algorithms, programming languages, and the design and construction of computer systems and applications. The program is primarily concerned with the overall theory and application behind the design of algorithms, programming languages, hardware architecture, systems software, application software, and tools. Students will have a solid foundation in data structure, programming, assembly language programming, computer organization, operating systems, theory, software engineering, algorithms, and computer networking. Courses are also offered in artificial intelligence, human-computer interactions, web data management, Internet tools, among others.
Students will learn how to program and code using SQL, HTML, ANSI C++, Java, and Javascript.
Our program adequately prepares students for higher education, including graduate studies in computer science and other computer-related fields. In their fourth-year thesis course, students will perfect their independent learning skills, along with their research, presentation, and academic writing skills to prepare students for advanced studies. Other courses, including those in mathematics, as well as special topics in mobile device programming and brain computer interfacing, will expand students’ knowledge and breadth of the field of computer science.
