Our Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Computer Science lets you combine technical training with learning in another area, typically from the Faculty of Arts. It’s an opportunity to give yourself an edge in career markets where employers often seek people who can analyze and communicate effectively as well as code.
Your first-year courses in Computer Science and Math will give you a solid understanding of the basic principles of computer science while your Arts courses will let you explore your complementary interests.
Laurier's Computer Science program exposes you to not just the software, but also to the hardware that underlies the system, giving you a fundamental understanding of digital systems and microprocessors, and an appreciation for the interaction between the hardware and the software.
While exposure to high school computer science is useful, the first-year Computer Science courses at Laurier provide you with the necessary background.
Computer Science is also offered as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree, which will further develop your strong algorithm analysis and design skills in procedural, object-oriented and low-level languages.
The combined Honours BA Computer Science program consists of 20.0 credits of which not more than 6.0 may be taken at the 100 level. A minimum of 7.0 senior Computer Science credits is required.
Program Highlights
Co-op is available (apply after first year).
All of our first- and second-year required Computer Science courses have a laboratory component where you’ll apply concepts learned in the lectures.
You can apply for the Professional Experience Program, which consists of a 12- to 16-month work term between your third and fourth years.
