Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Minor Concentration Computer Science (18 credits)

The Minor Concentration Computer Science is designed to provide the basics of computer science principles, and it make be taken in conjunction with any program in the Faculty of Arts.

For more information, see Minor Concentration Computer Science (18 credits).

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Supplementary Minor Concentration in Computer Science (18 credits)

The Supplementary Minor Concentration may be taken only by students registered in the Major Concentration Computer Science or the Major Concentration Software Engineering. There may be no overlap in credits taken for this Supplementary Minor Concentration and the Major Concentration Computer Science/Software Engineering. Taken together, these constitute a program...

For more information, see Supplementary Minor Concentration in Computer Science (18 credits).

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major Concentration Computer Science (36 credits)

This Major concentration represents an in-depth introduction to computer science and its sub-areas. Students that are interested in further study in Computer Science can combine the Major Concentration Computer Science with the Supplementary Minor in Computer Science to constitute a program very close to the Major Computer Science offered by the Faculty of Science....

For more information, see Major Concentration Computer Science (36 credits).

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major Concentration Software Engineering (36 credits)

The Major Concentration Software Engineering focuses on the techniques and methodology required to design and develop complex software systems and covers the subject commonly known as "Software Engineering". Arts students that are interested in further study in Computer Science can combine the Major Concentration in Software Engineering with the Supplementary Minor...
