Program details
Overview
Cambrian College's Bachelor of Applied Computing is a three-year, seven-semester degree delivered full-time on the Barry Downe campus, which the college describes as the only program of its kind in northern Ontario. The first two years build a shared foundation in computer science principles alongside applied, hands-on learning; in the third year, students select a specialization in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, or data analytics. A paid internship semester is built into the program, giving students industry experience and professional connections before graduation. The program is listed as eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit, subject to program-specific benchmarks. Cambrian also advertises an entrance scholarship for new, full-time students starting in a September intake, awarded across the first two semesters and tied to maintaining a minimum grade point average. The program is delivered through Cambrian's School of Information Technology and suits students who want a broad computing foundation combined with a later specialization and paid work experience before entering the technology workforce. It targets students seeking a bachelor-level credential in applied computing rather than a college diploma, with graduates positioned for roles spanning software development, data-driven analysis, and cybersecurity depending on their chosen stream.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission follows Cambrian's general degree-entry rule: the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD, 30 credits) with six Grade 12 University (U) or University/College (M) stream courses, or mature-student standing. This programme's own page sets a minimum overall average of 65% across those six courses and names its own subjects: Grade 12 English (U) at a minimum of 65%, one Grade 12 mathematics course from Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Advanced Functions (MHF4U) or Mathematics of Data Management (MDM4U) at a minimum of 65%, plus four further Grade 12 U or M courses. The programme page does not publish a domestic English-language test score, matching Cambrian's stated position that it sets no college-wide test for domestic applicants. International applicants must instead meet Cambrian's published English minimums for degree programmes: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88, or PTE Academic 58. No portfolio, interview, work-experience or criminal-record-check condition is stated for this programme.
