Program details

Overview

The Applied Computer Science program at the University of Winnipeg leads to a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts, offered in three-year, four-year, and Honours formats, with a Minor also available. Coursework covers programming fundamentals, information management, software engineering, operating systems, net-centric computing, human-computer interaction, and intelligent systems and machine learning. Students can pursue emphases in Information Systems, Health Informatics, or Scientific Computing alongside the general Applied Computer Science stream. The four-year major incorporates team-oriented courses intended to build communication and group-work skills, including development of a software project for a local information-technology organization. Admission follows the university's general entrance requirements, with Applied Mathematics 40S or Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S expected on some routes. The program suits students aiming for technical roles in software development, systems analysis, or health-related computing, and it connects to the university's graduate program in Applied Computer Science and Society for those continuing to further study. Delivery is on the Winnipeg campus. Graduates have moved into positions such as senior application developer, reflecting the program's applied, industry-oriented character within a broader liberal arts and sciences setting.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The program page defers to The University of Winnipeg's general admission requirements and notes that Applied Mathematics 40S or Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S may be required. Applicants whose first language is not English, and who are not from an English-exempt country, must meet the university's English proficiency requirement, set out on The University of Winnipeg's own admission requirements page: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall; TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no component below 4.0 for tests taken on or after January 21, 2026 (86 overall with no component below 20 for tests taken before that date); Duolingo English Test 120; Pearson PTE Academic 58; CAEL 60 (CAEL online 70); LanguageCert Academic 67; or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 180, with results no more than two years old. International applicants apply online through the university's application portal and pay a non-refundable CAD $120 application fee, with official transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution to the Admissions Office; recommended international deadlines are June 15 for Fall (September), October 15 for Winter (January), and February 15 for Spring (May), and applying three to four months ahead is encouraged to allow time for study-permit processing.

Application Details

Start Date: September, January and May
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents and refugees) apply directly to the University of Winnipeg: for the Faculties of Arts, Business and Economics, Kinesiology and Science the suggested deadline is July 2 for Fall (September) entry, November 1 for Winter (January) entry and March 1 for Spring (May) entry; the Faculty of Education recommends March 1 for high-school and mature applicants, with a final deadline of June 1 subject to space. International applicants are advised to apply by June 15 (Fall, shown on the live page as an 'extended' deadline), October 15 (Winter) or February 15 (Spring). All of these are suggested rather than firm cut-offs: late applications may still be considered, and admission runs on an effectively rolling basis until a term is full. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
