Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Science program in Computer Science, offered at Mount Saint Vincent University's Halifax campus, sits within the Mathematics and Statistics department and covers a field described by the department as rapidly changing and applied across nearly every arts and science discipline. Introductory coursework includes information technology fundamentals, business-oriented programming using an object-oriented, event-driven language, introductory algorithmic and structured programming in a high-level language, and media computing focused on manipulating images, sound, and video, alongside further courses that expand into new areas of the field. The program is positioned both for students who want computing skills as a tool to support work in another discipline and for those pursuing computer science more directly, whether as a major, minor, or through individual courses. It suits students looking to build practical programming and information-technology skills alongside quantitative coursework, whether as a primary course of study or as a complement to another arts or science program.
