General information
Graduates of this program will obtain a solid foundation in the theory and application of the principles of computer science, as well as in the cognitive capabilities and skills relating to computer science. This program also provides the opportunity for the student to develop practical capabilities and skills, such as software design and implementation, information management, risk assessment, effective deployment of software tools and system evaluation. In addition, transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, self-management and professional development are emphasized in many courses.
The Computer Science program at UOIT was developed in collaboration with leading representative from both academia and industry and is designed to meet the increasing need for graduates with the knowledge and skills in this important field.
Specializations within this degree program include Digital Media , as well as the general Computer Science degree (Comprehensive) .
Science and Management
The combination Science and Management program will consist of the curriculum from the selected science program and 10 courses in business and management that are taken in Year 5 of the regular program. Graduates will benefit from a complete science education complemented by solid accounting, finance, operations, human resources and marketing skills.
UOIT’s Bachelor of Science and Management (Honours) is available to students in any of the following regular programs:
Students in one of the Faculty of Science co-operative education programs may also complete a Science and Management combination program. The Science and Management plus co-op combination programs will take students six years to complete. Details are available within the co-operative education program pages.
Admission requirements
Applications to the Bachelor of Science and Management will be accepted in the winter semester of student’s third year of study. A minimum GPA of 2.3 is required to be eligible to apply to the program. This program may have limited space and applications are considered on a competitive basis. Successful applicants will be notified by the Registrar’s office by the end of May term of application.
