Program details
Overview
The Certificate in Applied Computer Science at Universite TELUQ is a 30-credit, first-cycle university certificate delivered entirely online. The program covers most areas of computing practice, including programming, databases, data mining, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, networking, and management information systems. Required courses total 15 credits, with 12 elective credits chosen from five fields: data science, artificial intelligence, software and web development, networking and security, and management information systems, plus a 3-credit capstone project that integrates skills from across the program. The program suits students seeking a broad technical foundation in computing as well as working professionals looking to upgrade their IT skills. Applicants without the required mathematics background may be admitted conditionally, with a prerequisite course to complete. Courses are self-paced and can be completed from any location. The certificate can stand alone or be combined with other TELUQ certificates toward a bachelor's degree in computer science.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Applied Computer Science Certificate follows one of three routes: holding a Diplome d'etudes collegiales (DEC) or the equivalent; being at least 21 years old with one year of work experience in information technology; or holding a university diploma. All applicants must also have knowledge of college-level mathematics, including derivatives, integral calculus, and linear algebra; applicants lacking this background may be admitted conditionally, subject to completing the prerequisite course MQT 1001.
