BA/BS in Baccalauréat spécialisé en Sciences de l’informatique(4 ans) is a bachelor's degree in Computer Sciences programme taught at Collège Boréal in Sudbury, Canada. The programme runs for 9 semesters, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 16,677 per year (CAD 6,481 per year for local students).
The Baccalauréat spécialisé en sciences de l'informatique is a four-year honours computer science degree at Collège Boréal, delivered on campus over nine semesters. It builds on the same core computer science and mathematics foundation as the college's three-year general computer science bachelor's degree but extends it with additional advanced coursework in software engineering, cybersecurity, data analysis, database administration, operating systems, mobile application development, machine learning and business intelligence. Students complete a paid internship in the seventh semester and, in their final year, undertake an applied research project or capstone system that consolidates their studies. The specialized designation reflects a deeper theoretical grounding in mathematics and systems analysis than the standard three-year track. The program suits students seeking a more research- and theory-intensive computer science credential, preparing graduates for roles such as software developers, database analysts, security specialists and IT consultants who want the additional depth an honours degree provides over a general bachelor's or college diploma.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (DESO) or equivalent, including Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), a Grade 12 French course (FRA4U or FRA4M), two mathematics courses at the 3U/M or 4U/M level (or one 3U/M/4U/M mathematics course plus Physics SPH4U), and two further U or M elective courses. No minimum admission average is published for this programme. Applicants who do not hold the DESO, or its English-language credit, must submit an English-language proficiency result before admission; the programme page does not restate a score, so the college's own admission-requirements table applies: Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 6 / CEFR B2, met by IELTS Academic 5.5, TOEFL iBT/Essentials 60, or PTE Academic 40; the requirement is waived if the DESO is completed before classes begin. As at all Collège Boréal programmes, applicants whose secondary or postsecondary studies were not completed entirely in a francophone system must also meet the college's own French-language requirement: a TFEA (Boréal's internal test) score of 70%, Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 6-7, DELF/DALF level B2 (or C1/C2 DALF), TFI level B2 (score of 650), TEF level B2 (niveau 6), or TCF level B2 (niveau 4, score 400-499); those schooled entirely in French are exempt.
