Computer Science and Mathematics, and Computer Science and Statistics Program Requirements
For a BSc degree in Combined Computer Science and Mathematics or Computer Science and Statistics, students may take a Major or Honours program. These programs are not joint degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics or Computer Science and Statistics, but a single degree program composed of selected courses from each of the departments. Students opting for any of these combined programs must contact the Computer Science and Mathematics and Statistics departments, and will be assigned an adviser from each of these departments. Students considering future graduate work in Computer Science, Mathematics or Statistics must consult with their advisers prior to making their final choice of courses.
Students who wish to be admitted to one of the Combined Honours programs should apply in writing to the Honours Advisers of the departments on completion of their second year. Normally a student will be admitted to the Combined Honours program only if the student meets the following conditions:
- completion of CSC 106 (formerly 112, 212), 110, 115, 225, 230, and SENG 265
- completion of at least 10.5 units of the Mathematics and Statistics courses required for the degree
- a grade of at least B+ in all 200-level CSC courses
- a GPA of at least 6.5 in all 200-level Mathematics and Statistics courses.
Students may also enter one of the Combined Honours programs upon completion of their third year provided they have at least 4.5 units of 300- or 400-level credit from each department with a minimum GPA of 6.0. This minimum GPA of 6.0 is in all courses completed at the 300- or 400-level in the two departments.
Honours students are expected to maintain a GPA of at least 5.0 in their third year to remain in the program.
