COURSE CURRICULUM

The Diploma in Computer Science at the University of Regina is a 60 credit hour program designed to provide students with a solid foundation in computing concepts, programming skills, and problem-solving abilities. The program includes 33 credit hours of core computer science requirements such as CS 110, CS 115, CS 201, CS 210, and CS 215, along with additional upper-level CS courses at the 300- or 400-level to develop more advanced knowledge in areas like software development, algorithms, and systems design. Students are also required to complete foundational courses in mathematics (MATH 110) and communication skills (ENGL 100), which support analytical thinking and effective communication in technical environments. Beyond core requirements, students complete 27 credit hours of elective courses, which are recommended to be chosen from mathematics, statistics, economics, or business administration to broaden career opportunities and interdisciplinary understanding. The program emphasizes practical programming experience, logical reasoning, and exposure to modern computing tools and technologies. With a total of 60 credit hours, the diploma prepares students for entry-level positions in the IT industry or provides a pathway to further studies in a Bachelor of Computer Science or related fields. It is structured to be flexible and accessible for both full-time and working students.
