Overview
This program in computing at Queen's University's School of Computing combines core computer science with elements of engineering, mathematics, psychology, and other sciences, and leads to a Bachelor of Computing degree recognized as equivalent to a Bachelor of Science in computer science. Students choose a computing major, with the option of following a sub-plan focused on artificial intelligence, fundamental computation, or security, or select one of several available specializations that combine computing with another discipline; the specific sub-plan or specialization chosen is recorded on the transcript. Optional minors can also be added to the degree. Teaching is delivered on campus at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. The program suits students with an interest in computer science who want flexibility to focus on a particular area, whether that is artificial intelligence, theoretical computation, security, or an interdisciplinary combination of computing with another field.
