COURSE CURRICULUM

The Computer Science degree program at Toronto Metropolitan University begins with foundational courses in programming and computer organization, offering CPS 109 Computer Science I or CPS 106 Introduction to Multimedia Computation, CPS 213 Computer Organization I, and MTH 110 Discrete Mathematics I in the first semester. Students also choose one science course from Biology I (BLG 143), General Chemistry I (CHY 103), or Physics (PCS 110), along with a liberal studies course. In the second semester, core courses include CPS 209 Computer Science II, CPS 310 Computer Organization II, CPS 412 Social Issues, Ethics and Professionalism, and MTH 207 Calculus and Computational Methods I, plus another liberal studies course. The third and fourth semesters deepen skills with courses such as CMN 300 Communication in the Computer Industry, CPS 305 Data Structures, CPS 393 Introduction to UNIX, C and C++, MTH 108 Linear Algebra, and advanced courses like CPS 406 Introduction to Software Engineering, CPS 420 Discrete Structures, CPS 506 Comparative Programming Languages, CPS 590 Operating Systems I, and MTH 380 Probability and Statistics. Students also take open electives and liberal studies courses. In the fifth and sixth semesters, studies focus on CPS 510 Database Systems I, CPS 633 Computer Security, CPS 721 Artificial Intelligence I, CPS 616 Algorithms, CPS 706 Computer Networks I, core electives, and liberal studies. Students may choose an optional concentration from the Computer Science Group. The final year includes advanced core electives, open electives, and liberal studies courses. Some course selections have restrictions to ensure diverse learning. This comprehensive curriculum prepares students for careers in software development, cybersecurity, AI, and more.
