Program details

Overview

This program leads to a four-year honours degree in computer science, offered on Algoma University's Sault Ste. Marie and Brampton campuses. Coursework builds a foundation in algorithms, data structures, software engineering, computer organization, operating systems, and networking, with further study available in artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and web data management. Students can pursue specialization streams in computer game technology, data science and artificial intelligence, mobile software engineering, or XR technologies. A cooperative education stream lets students combine academic study with paid work terms, and a fourth-year thesis option allows students to complete an independent research project. Instruction combines lectures with hands-on lab work. The program suits students drawn to technical problem-solving and software creation, and prepares graduates for roles such as programmer, web or mobile developer, database developer, systems analyst, and software architect, as well as further study in computing.
