计算科学是一个快速发展的领域，产生了大量的就业机会。政府机构预测，合格人才的短缺，仅在加拿大就将有数万人。计算机科学专业的科学学士学位旨在满足CIPS（加拿大信息处理学会），ACM（计算机科学协会）和IEEE（电气与电子工程师协会）概述的培训和教育要求。这些要求反映了国内和国际上计算机行业的需求。该计划由从系统，理论和商业应用领域中选出的课程组成。它旨在培训学生应用计算，并就计算的社会，道德和法律影响对他们进行教育。
With VIU's Bachelor of Science in Computer Science you learn to develop real-world solutions through technology. Computer science impacts almost every aspect of modern living, from communication and business to the arts, climate change and more. The practical training you get with a VIU Computer Science degree prepares you for high-demand careers in British Columbia, Canada and worldwide. Computer scientists are problem-solvers who find solutions to important human challenges. Much of human activity involves decision-making that uses machine logic. From designing a moon rocket to choosing the best route through town, computers help by doing massive amounts of logical processes. And computer scientists design those processes. They are the architects of our increasingly digital world.
