BCSH - Bachelor of Computer Science with Honours

Description

The BCSH degree is intended for high caliber students who typically are considering graduate studies or those who see value in working with a faculty member on research and publications. The BCSH degree is enhanced with a required CS theory course (Automata, Formal Languages and Computability), an Advanced Architecture course (being removed in 2010/10 in favour of a choice of 3000/4000 level courses), three additional Math courses and a full-year thesis course. The degree requires that all core courses (69 of 120 hrs) be completed with B- or better and a CGPA of 3.0.
