Program details
Overview
Acadia's Jodrey School of Computer Science offers several undergraduate credentials, including a Bachelor of Computer Science, a Bachelor of Computer Science with Honours, and a Bachelor of Applied Computer Science, alongside a graduate Master of Science. The Applied Computer Science track lets students specialize in areas such as software development, game development, data analytics, or mobile and ubiquitous computing, and combined programs with other disciplines are also possible. Courses are largely project-based and cover topics including artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, cloud computing, and computer security, alongside computer ethics and the social impact of technology. No prior programming experience is required to begin the program, though students who already code may be able to move ahead faster in first-year courses. The undergraduate programs carry accreditation from the Canadian Information Technology Professionals Society. Co-op placements and study-abroad terms are both available options. Class sizes are kept small, giving students closer contact with faculty. The program suits students aiming at technical roles such as software developer, data scientist, or systems analyst, as well as those who want a research-oriented path toward graduate study in computing.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: For applicants presenting the International Baccalaureate Diploma, Acadia University requires the IB Diploma including IB English with an overall score of 24 or better; a score of 30 or higher earns 30 hours of university credit. IB Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretations, SL or HL) must be completed with a grade of 4 or better; no prior programming experience is required to start the program. Applicants who have completed IB courses but do not hold the diploma are considered on their coursework, with credit given for higher-level courses graded 5, 6 or 7.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Acadia does not publish year-specific application deadlines: its live admissions pages state only that domestic and international undergraduate applicants may apply any time after September 21st, with March 1st as the priority date for entrance-scholarship consideration (decisions by mid-April); no year is attached to either date. Admission is otherwise rolling, with no separate international closing date published. The Bachelor of Education programme has its own cycle, opening October 1st, but as of September 2026 the page still shows the stale 2025-2026 cycle and no current-cycle date has been published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
