Program details
Overview
This Honors program in Computing Science is a loosely structured degree for highly motivated students seeking in-depth study, taking advantage of the interdisciplinary nature of computing; the department works with students individually to shape their program of courses. It is one of the University of Alberta's Bachelor of Science with Honors degrees, offered by the Faculty of Science's Department of Computing Science, and is also available as a BSc Major. The Honors track embeds a research thesis project and requires students to maintain a higher academic standard than the Major program; a minor from the Faculty of Arts, Native Studies, Business, or Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences may be added, though a double major is not available. The department's research strengths span artificial intelligence, robotics, multimedia, computer games, software and database systems, machine learning, and bioinformatics. Graduates commonly pursue roles such as application developer, computer programmer, database designer, robotics engineer, software engineer, systems analyst, and video game designer.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school (or equivalent) requires five Grade 12 courses: English Language Arts 30-1; Mathematics 30-1; two of Chemistry 30, Physics 30, Biology 30, Computing Science 30 (Advanced), or Mathematics 31; and one further course from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages other than English, or Math/Sciences. The minimum average to apply to the BSc Honors program is 80%; meeting it does not guarantee admission, since places are allocated by a competitive average that varies by year. Applicants whose primary language is not English must meet the university's English Language Proficiency requirement. Admission is offered for the Fall (September) term only.
