Computer Science at the University of Saskatchewan is a Bachelor of Science program covering the theory, design, development and application of software and software systems, with course offerings touching on artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, computational modelling and computer graphics. Students may pursue three-year, four-year or Honours versions of the degree, and can shape their studies around areas such as algorithmics, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, game development, graphics, or web and software development. Entry into the Computer Science major is competitive and is decided after first year based on performance in required computer science and mathematics courses. A notable structural feature is the Computer Science Professional Internship Program, an optional 12- or 16-month paid work placement with a sponsoring employer completed before the final year of study. The program can be taken full- or part-time, with delivery at the Saskatoon or Prince Albert campuses or off-campus.

Application Details
Start Date:September, January, May and July
Application Deadline:The University of Saskatchewan does not publish fixed general application deadlines for its direct-entry undergraduate colleges (Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Dental Hygiene, Dental Therapy): admission requirements and deadlines for the 2027-28 cycle become available only once applications open on 25 September 2026, and the site gives no separate international closing date. Non-direct professional programs set their own dates instead: for September 2027 entry, the College of Law's JD opens 15 October 2026 with rolling review to a 1 February 2027 documents deadline and is not currently accepting international applicants; the College of Medicine's MD applications close 1 October 2026 for domestic (Canadian citizen/PR) applicants only; and the Nutrition program's single deadline is 15 March 2027 for both domestic and international applicants, with no late applications considered. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
