You enter into Year 3 of the four-year Honours Bachelor of Science (Computer Science major) program at the Thunder Bay campus, and can complete your degree in as little as two years. You must complete two spring/summer term courses in order to enter the fall term.  

Computer Science is a dynamic area that has and will continue to drive innovation. Therefore, a key part of our education is about the knowledge and skills needed in order to capture the new technologies of the future. The following are some of our educational aims:

• Practical experience and theoretical understanding of design methods for the specification, programming and analysis of a wide range of computing systems.
• The ability to plan and accomplish a substantial project.
• Experience in co-operative working through team projects, with their demands on the management of partners and time. 
• Skills in written and oral communication.
• An appreciation of the environmental impact of computer and network technologies and the skills to limit this impact with innovative approaches

Our Department is small enough to give undergraduate students direct access to the professors along with ample access to high-end computing equipment.  We cover a broad range of computer science material including current object oriented software development technologies, web technologies, computer security, artificial intelligence, networking and related hardware technology, computer graphics, and a range of theoretical computing topics. Additionally, we include in many of our courses examples relating to current areas of interest and employer demand such as game programming, internet applications, mobile programming  and computer security.
