Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Computer Science Honours program covers core computing topics including programming fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, software engineering, databases, operating systems, and computer networks, supported by mathematics coursework in calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. Students can specialize in areas such as artificial intelligence, game development, multimedia, or networks and security as they advance through the four-year program; a general three-year option is also offered. A co-op stream is available, with flexible four-, eight-, or twelve-month work terms that let students gain paid industry experience during their studies. Instruction is delivered on campus at the University of Windsor through lectures and laboratory sessions. The program suits students who want a technical grounding in computer science with the option to focus on a particular specialization or gain workplace experience before graduating, and it prepares graduates for roles such as web developer, software developer, computer programmer, IT manager, and further graduate study.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Canadian high-school applicants need Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and English (ENG4U), with Calculus & Vectors (MCV4U) strongly recommended. The minimum admission average is 70%, taken across math courses; the co-op stream requires 75% overall with a 70% average in all attempted math courses. The university reports a recent entering mean average of 86%. International high-school applicants outside Canada and the US face the same course requirements, given as Grade 12 equivalents, and the same minimums, with a recent entering mean average of 82%. The programme page defers language proficiency to the university's general policy rather than stating its own scores: per the University of Windsor's undergraduate admission requirements, applicants need IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83 (writing 20), Duolingo 115, CAEL 60, PTE Academic 60, or the university's ELIP Level III at 75% or above. No portfolio or interview is stated.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Ontario high school via OUAC 101, other-Canadian-province and US applicants via OUAC 105) apply directly through OUAC; the University of Windsor publishes no fixed institutional application deadline for these routes on its registrar or recruitment pages. International undergraduate applicants are given recommended deadlines of May 1, 2027 for September 2027 (Fall) entry, September 1, 2026 for January 2027 (Winter) entry, and January 1, 2027 for May 2027 (Spring) entry, but Windsor states it will admit qualified applicants after these dates if space remains in the program, so admission is effectively rolling for both domestic and international routes. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
