COURSE CURRICULUM

Honours Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Computer Science from Brock University provides a solid foundation for diverse career opportunities in both industry and graduate studies. The program is designed to meet international standards, aligning with the recommendations of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), and offers a competitive curriculum comparable to top computer science programs across Canada and globally. Students are introduced to essential core topics including computer programming, algorithm design and analysis, formal computer theory, networks, operating systems, and artificial intelligence. In later years, the program offers flexibility through a range of advanced electives, allowing students to specialize in areas such as systems design, AI, and formal methods. For those interested in interdisciplinary studies, a variety of joint Honours programs are available, combining computer science with other disciplines. The program is rigorous and demands a strong aptitude for programming, mathematics, and theoretical computing. To remain in the Honours stream, students must maintain a minimum major average of 70% and a non-major average of at least 60%. This degree prepares graduates with both the theoretical understanding and practical skills necessary to thrive in the evolving field of computer science or to pursue advanced academic research.
