Program details
Overview
The Computer Science Certificate at Bishop's University is offered by the Department of Computer Science in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. The one-year, undergraduate-level program is designed for students who need a basic understanding of computers, programming, and the field of computer science to expand their professional expertise. Topics covered include programming, software engineering, web design, networks, computer graphics, and artificial intelligence. The program admits students in both the Fall and Winter terms and is open to applicants from high school, CEGEP, another university, or outside Canada. As a certificate rather than a full degree, it can be completed as a stand-alone credential or alongside another program of study, helping students make fuller use of computer technology in the workplace. Full course requirements are set out in the university's Academic Calendar.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission is assessed by applicant category. CEGEP students who have completed or are completing a DEC may apply regardless of the DEC's field of study, with no specific prerequisite courses required; the estimated minimum admission average is a 24 global R-Score (25 R-Score for School of Education programs). Canadian high school applicants from outside Quebec must complete five Grade 12 level university-preparatory courses, including Grade 12 level English, three Approved courses, and one further Approved or Option course; required and approved courses vary by province. International, IB, transfer, mature-student, and other applicant categories have their own published requirements. All applicants must submit a recent transcript, and CEGEP applicants must also provide their Quebec permanent code. Meeting the posted minimum does not guarantee admission, as applications are evaluated competitively when demand exceeds available spaces.
