Program details

Overview

The Honours Bachelor of Computer Science is a four-year honours baccalaureate degree offered at Sheridan College's Trafalgar Campus in Oakville. More than 80 percent of the curriculum consists of core computer science courses covering programming, networks, mathematics, scripting and database modelling, providing a foundation before students choose a specialization in cloud computing, data analytics, data engineering, game engineering or artificial intelligence, introduced in first year and developed through eight further courses in the chosen area. Between years three and four, students can pursue a four-month internship or a paid co-op placement of up to sixteen months with industry partners, and may also contribute to Sheridan's applied research projects. In the final year, students choose between a capstone project, typically developed with an external client or partner, and a thesis research project aimed at those planning graduate study. The program shares core courses with Sheridan's separate Honours Bachelor of Computer Science (Mobile Computing) degree, allowing students to change between the two after two years by making up two courses. It suits students who want a broad computer science foundation together with the option to specialize in a growing technical area of their choice.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent including Grade 12 English (ENG4U) and Grade 12 (U) Advanced Functions (MHF4U) or Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), plus four further Grade 12 U or M credits, all at a minimum 65% overall average; Grade 12 science, Computer Science (ICS4U) or Computer Engineering Technology is recommended additional preparation. Two semesters of postsecondary study covering the same courses at 65% overall is accepted instead, and applicants are ranked on the average of their six highest senior-level credits. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Sheridan's institution-wide English Proficiency Requirement for degree programs: IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0), TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 21), PTE 60 (no section below 57), or Duolingo 115 (no subscore below 95).

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the application opened 26 September 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and offers can go out from 1 November 2026, with portfolio- and audition-based programmes deciding later in March; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027. Winter and Spring/Summer 2027 entry use the same portal but Sheridan publishes no fixed equal-consideration date for them and reviews those on an ongoing basis. International applicants apply directly through Sheridan's own International Application Portal, not ontariocolleges.ca; the college publishes no fixed international deadline and admits on a rolling, space-permitting basis, so early application is advised for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
