Honours BSc Co-op

The Honours Bachelor Science Co-op Program is a Five Year program

1. There are two focus areas in this program: Business Focus and Science Focus. Students must choose one at the time of initial registration. For help in making this choice, contact the Chair of the Department of Computer Science.
2. Year-to-year continuation in the program requires an average of at least 70% in all Computer Science courses, and satisfactory completion of the work term assignments.
3. Students in this program are required to take at least five FCEs outside the Departments of Computer Science and Mathematical Sciences.
4. Electives from the list of program electives (see below)  must include at least three of: 4478, 4475, 4471, 4311, 4312, 4476. Additionally students seeking to satisfy a specialization in the department must choose appropriate computer science electives.
5. Students completing the Busines Focus program requirements and wishing to qualify for the Entrepreneurship Certificate in the Faculty of Business Administration must, instead of Business 1013, take as an elective a course from the following list: Business 20333013321334134253; or an alternate approved by the Faculty of Business Administration.
6. In the Science Focus at least one FCE elective from Type C courses (except Engineering)  must be at the second year level or higher, and such specified electives must not include zero level courses.
7. Students following either the Science Focus or Business Focus and wishing to pursue scientific computing should choose Mathematics 3351 and/or Mathematics 3371 and should choose the necessary prerequisites from Mathematics as part of their electives (with attention paid to Note 3 above).
