Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is a four-year degree delivered on Mount Royal's Calgary campus. The curriculum covers computing theory, programming, operating systems, networking, artificial intelligence and machine learning, with the option to combine computing study with fields such as biology or astronomy.

Admission requires English Language Arts 30-1 at a minimum of 60% and Mathematics 30-1 at a minimum of 65%. The program suits students aiming to solve technical problems through software, algorithms and intelligent systems, preparing them for roles such as software developer, game developer, cloud developer, IT manager or user experience analyst.
