Program Design

Students who already hold a degree in a discipline other than computer science or a diploma in computer science will be able to earn a Bachelor of Computer Science (general) or a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (B.Sc) in as little as 12 months, depending upon their previous credentials.

Classes begin in May, and accelerated courses continue throughout the spring and summer terms, before joining regular programming in the fall. Accelerated degree students can complete the program as early as April.

To be eligible, students must:

• Hold a recognized university degree or applied degree with a minimum overall average of ‘C’ or 60 percent (students who possess a previous degree must have completed no more than 18 credits in Computer Science) OR have a two or three-year college diploma in a computer science-related field with a minimum GPA of 3.00.
• Provide evidence of proficiency in English (if your first language is not English).
