X. Degree Programs
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
Computing and Information Science (Co-op) (CIS:C)
Department of Computing and Information Science, College of Physical and Engineering Science.
The 4 year Honours Program Major in Computing and Information Science is also available as a Co-operative Education Program. Three co-op work terms are required. Recommended work terms are shown below:
COOP*1100 must be completed in the 2nd academic semester (winter of year 1). Students may apply for these options at the time of University admission or completion of semester 2. A five year option with four work terms is also available. Please see the department's co-op faculty advisor for details.
Conditions for graduation are the same as the corresponding regular B.Sc. program. In addition, all work reports must have a grade of satisfactory or better.
Electives must include at least 1.50 at the 3000 level or above. At least 1.00 credit must be in the Arts or Social Sciences, and 0.5 remaining credit in the introductory science sequence (see note in semester 2).
