Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, offered through the Faculty of Science at the University of Calgary, covers the theory and practice of computing, including topics such as computer graphics, human-computer interaction, information security, computational modelling, and game design. Coursework includes subjects such as computer animation and artificial intelligence. Students can pursue optional work-integrated learning through the university's Science Internship Program, taking on roles such as software developer or cloud architect, and can undertake supervised undergraduate research from second year onward. Study-abroad options are available through the university's international partnerships. Admission requires English Language Arts, Math 30-1, and an additional approved course, with requirements varying by educational background. The program is delivered on the university's main campus in Calgary, Alberta. It suits students interested in a broad range of computing specializations rather than a single fixed track, and prepares graduates for roles in technology companies, startups, the public and non-profit sectors, as well as further study or independent consulting work in software-related fields.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school (Bachelor of Science, Computer Science) requires English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, two of Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Physics 30, Mathematics 31, or CTS Computing Science 30 (5 credits) or post-secondary equivalents, and one further approved course or option. University of Calgary's program page states an estimated competitive admission average in the low 80s for Computer Science high-school and mature applicants. These figures are program-level, for the Alberta high-school direct-entry route; other curricula and international applicants are assessed on separate criteria not shown here.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date. Applications are not accepted on a rolling basis after the deadline for most direct-entry programmes, though a small number of programmes (e.g. Nursing) run further selection rounds into the summer while space remains. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
