Bachelor of Computer Science (Optional Co-op)

Computer science isn’t just about computers; it’s about using computers to understand and solve large problems. Combatting climate change, finding cures for diseases, helping children learn - solving any of these issues can begin by studying computer science. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is part of almost everything people do from the car they drive to the movies they watch to the cell phone they use. It drives innovation in almost every area of peoples' lives. Computing professionals are the creative people who are responsible for many of these innovations. That means career options in computer science are limited only by a person's imagination. Through a mix of theory and practical experience, students will learn the fundamentals of computer science, including how to design and build software, how to develop effective ways to solve problems, and how to create new and better ways of using computers. Students will study the latest technologies and ideas in this rapidly evolving field.
