You must complete a total of 288 credit points (i.e.: Twenty 12 credit point courses and Two 24 credit point courses) as follows:

Two (2) STEM Future Technology Skills Courses (24 credit points); and
Eleven (11) Core courses including two 24 credit point courses and nine (9) 12 credit point courses (totalling 156 credit points); and
One (1) Capstone course (12 credit points); and
96 credit points (e.g. eight 12 credit point Computer Science Option courses) from one of the following possible Combinations:

Combination 1: Complete Eight (8) courses from one of the Computer Science Majors listed below; or
Combination 2: Complete Four (4) courses from two Minors in the minor lists below (one minor must be from the Computer Science Minors list); or
Combination 3: Complete Four (4) courses from one of the Computer Science Minors AND complete Four (4) Computer Science Option Courses; or
Combination 4: Complete Four (4) courses from one of the Computer Science Minors AND up to 48 credit points of University Electives.
Combination 5: Complete Four (4) Computer Science option courses AND up to 48 credit points of University Electives.

Computer Science Option courses mean all courses listed within each Computer Science Major and Computer Science Minor.

University Electives can include any Computer Science Option course, or any other course on the University Electives website.
 

Rules on completion of Majors/Minors:
A major is typically 96 credit points, and a minor is typically 48 credit points.
A maximum of Two (2) Minors can be completed in this program.
Please note, a course can only be counted once in your program:

Any course completed as part of the core courses in the program, including where you are given a choice of core option courses, cannot count towards the completion of a major or minor.

If you use a course toward the completion of one minor, you cannot use that same course again to count toward another minor.

The Computer Science Major and Minor courses and cross-disciplinary Minor courses can be found at the end of the program structure. The courses in each Major and Minor need to be completed in the sequence listed.
