Overview
This undergraduate degree in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics builds a foundation in both the theoretical and practical sides of computing. Bishop's University offers the program as a Major, Minor, or Honours option, completed over three or four years with Fall or Winter entry, and delivered on campus. Coursework develops students' ability to solve complex computational problems, design and build software, and understand the principles underlying computer systems and networks. The program includes a Co-operative Education option for integrating work terms into the degree, along with experiential learning opportunities and undergraduate capstone open-source projects that let students apply their skills to real software projects. The program suits students aiming toward technical careers such as software development, data science, cybersecurity, or other digital-skills-focused roles, and is structured to prepare graduates for a range of positions spanning software engineering, cloud engineering, database administration, UX design, network architecture, and web development. Students who want research or industry experience alongside coursework can pursue the Honours option or the co-op stream, while those wanting a broader academic base can combine the Major or Minor with study in another discipline.
