Program details

Overview

This 90-credit undergraduate program combines a 45-credit major in computer science with two 15-credit certificate or minor components (30 credits total) chosen from other disciplines, leading to a Bachelor's degree with a Major in Computer Science. The curriculum centres on Internet software engineering, covering software development, databases, computer networks, and security, alongside communication skills, and allows up to 9 optional credits to be completed through internships or professional projects. Applicants select the computer science major during UQAR's online admission process and apply separately for the two complementary minor or certificate components that complete the degree. The program is nominally completed in three years of full-time study, preparing graduates for careers in software development, systems analysis, and information technology, or for further study in computer science.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: UQAR does not publish major-specific prerequisite courses or minimum grade/cote R thresholds for the Bachelor with Major in Computer Science.

Admitted students holding a Diplome d'etudes collegiales (DEC) with a cote R of 27 or higher qualify for a welcome scholarship, rising for a cote R of 31 or higher.
