Program details

Overview

This undergraduate Computer Science program is delivered on campus as an Honours degree, awarded as a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Computer Science, with a specialization requiring 120 credits or a general degree requiring 90. It runs four years, or five with an optional co-op stream beginning after second year, in which students are responsible for finding and applying to their own placements. Coursework covers high-level programming languages, discrete mathematical structures, data structures, the Linux operating system, database programming, C++, and assembly language, with a choice between a traditional Computer Science specialization and a Game Design specialization that adds courses in game design, graphics, and human-computer interaction. The program suits students with an interest in technology and computing who want practical, applied training alongside theoretical foundations. Graduates go on to work as systems analysts, consultants, database designers and implementers, web developers, and software developers, and in networking and security roles across public and private sector organizations.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Laurentian's Canadian- and international-applicant pages publish recurring annual deadlines without stating an entry year, so the dates below are each one's next future occurrence measured from September 2026. For September 2027 entry, domestic Group A (current Ontario high-school, OUAC 101) applicants face a January 15, 2027 deadline and Group B (other domestic, OUAC 105) applicants August 1, 2027; Group B's next January-entry deadline is December 1, 2026 and next May-entry deadline is April 1, 2027. International applicants must apply by June 15, 2027 (documents June 20, 2027) for September 2027 entry; the recurring January-entry international deadline next falls on August 15, 2026, already past, so no January 2027 international deadline remains open, and no May-entry international deadline is published. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing carries a February 1, 2027 deadline for both domestic and international applicants (September entry only). The Bachelor of Architectural Studies is administered separately by the McEwen School of Architecture, whose own page remains locked to the 2026-2027 (Fall 2026) cycle — OUAC deadline January 15, 2026, portfolio/statement of interest February 14, 2026 — with no Fall 2027 dates yet posted. Laurentian does not describe admission as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
