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。
Computer Science is a rapidly-growing field, generating a great number of employment opportunities. Government agencies are predicting shortages of qualified computing people that will number in the tens of thousands in Canada alone. The Bachelor of Science, Major in Computer Science, is designed to meet the training and educational requirements outlined by CIPS (Canadian Information Processing Society), ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). These requirements reflect the needs of the computing industry, both nationally and internationally.<br><br>The program is composed of courses drawn from the systems, theoretical and business application domains. It is designed to train students in applied computer science and educate them in the social, ethical and legal implications of computer science.<br><br>The program has an optional co-operative education component. To be eligible, students must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 (B) or better in their Computer Science courses.<br><br>The Computer Science Major will be of interest to students wishing to enter the Information Technology industry and/or graduate studies. The Minor will primarily be of interest to students wishing to combine an additional field of study with a strong computing background.
