3 credits at the 3000 level from courses with second digit 4 (i.e. Applications);
12 credits at the 4000 level.

In addition, students must complete AS/MATH 1090 3.0, AS/MATH 1300 3.0, AS/MATH 1310 3.0, AS/MATH 2090 3.0 and one of AS/MATH 1025 3.0 or AS/MATH 2320 3.0.

Honours Double Major BA Program

The Honours BA program described above may be pursued jointly with any other Honours Bachelor's degree program in the Faculties of Arts, Environmental Studies or Fine Arts.

Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA Programs

The Honours BA program described above may be linked with an Honours Double Major program with the Interdisciplinary program in Communication Studies. Students must take at least 42 credits in Computer Science and at least 36 credits in the Communication Studies program. Courses taken to meet Computer Science requirements cannot also be used to meet the requirements of the Communication Studies program. Students in this Interdisciplinary program must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level, including at least 12 credits in Computer Science and 6 credits in the program. For further details of requirements, see the listing for the Communications Studies Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program.

Honours Major/Minor BA Program

The Honours BA program described above may be pursued jointly with any Honours Minor Bachelor's degree program in the Faculties of Arts, Environmental Studies, Fine Arts, or with a minor in Biology, Chemistry or Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science.

Honours Minor BA Program

The Honours Minor must be pursued jointly with an Honours BA program in the Faculty of Arts.

The Honours Minor in Computer Science comprises at least 36 credits in Computer Science including:
