Program details
Overview
Computer Science at Mount Allison University covers algorithm analysis, computer architecture, operating systems, networks, and software design, spanning hands-on application through to underlying theory. The credential can be taken as a Bachelor of Arts, pairing computer science with arts, humanities, or social science courses, or as a Bachelor of Science, pairing it with chemistry, physics, and other sciences, each available as a major or honours; a minor combinable with any degree is also offered, along with combined majors in subjects such as economics, mathematics, physics, music, or geography. Coursework moves from programming fundamentals and computing essentials toward advanced topics like artificial intelligence and the societal role of computing, with many courses built around significant project work; specialized areas include theory of computation, cryptography, databases, graphics, and networks. Delivery is on-campus in Sackville, New Brunswick, with summer research opportunities under faculty supervision and student involvement in the International Collegiate Programming Contest and the MtA Hacks hackathon. The program is designed to suit students ranging from casual to professional computing interest, preparing graduates for roles such as software developer, network specialist, database administrator, or security analyst.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Computer Science's programme page sets no academic prerequisites of its own for a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science and defers to Mount Allison's general admission requirements. There, decisions weigh the whole applicant — academic record, leadership, level of commitment, and potential for personal growth — with the specific courses and grades required varying by the applicant's province or country and prior education. Applicants whose language of instruction was not English must meet Mount Allison's English proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 with at least 20 in each of Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing (PTE Academic 60 with no score below 51, CAEL CE 70 with no part below 60, Cambridge English B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 with no band below 169, and Duolingo English Test 110 are also accepted). Three years of Canadian secondary schooling, or 30+ credit hours at an English-medium post-secondary institution, can also satisfy it; applicants short only on language may receive conditional admission through the university's English Summer Pathway Program.
