BA Degree Requirements

The objective of the Computer Science in Liberal Arts Program is to prepare graduates to work in a wide range of computer environments, both traditional and non-traditional. To that end, students are encouraged to combine a specialization in computer science with a specialization in another discipline. Ideally, on graduation, they will be qualified for positions in both fields, able to work comfortably within an information processing environment, in their professional field, or in both.

General Honours Program

Students must complete at least 48 credits in computer science including GL/CSLA 1925 3.00 and GL/CSLA 1927 3.00, GL/CSLA 1620 3.00 and GL/CSLA 1630 3.00 and the core courses (GL/CSLA 2001 3.00 and GL/CSLA 3215 3.00, GL/CSLA 2620 3.00 and GL/CSLA 3411 3.00, GL/CSLA 3610 3.00 and GL/CSLA 3830 3.00), plus six more credits at the 3000 or 4000 level and six more credits at the 4000 level. In addition, students must complete GL/MATH 2650 3.00 and GL/MODR 1610 3.00 before enrolling in any 3000- or 4000-level courses.

Honours Double Major Program

Students may complete an Honours Double Major Program in Computer Science. Students must complete at least 36 credits in computer science including GL/CSLA 1925 3.00, GL/CSLA 1927 3.00, GL/CSLA 1620 3.00, GL/CSLA 1630 3.00, and the core courses (GL/CSLA 2001 3.00, GL/CSLA 3215 3.00, GL/CSLA 2620 3.00, GL/CSLA 3411 3.00, GL/CSLA 3610 3.00, GL/CSLA 3830 3.00) and at least six credits at the 4000 level. In addition, students must complete GL/MATH 1930 3.00, GL/MATH 2650 3.00 and GL/MODR 1610 3.00. Candidates must check the calendar for the requirements of the other discipline in which they wish to major.

Combined Honours Program

Computer science may be combined with any other discipline taught at Glendon. Students must complete at least 60 credits in the two disciplines. When computer science is the major discipline, students must take at least 36 credits in computer science including GL/CSLA 1925 3.00, GL/CSLA 1927 3.00, GL/CSLA 1620 3.00, GL/CSLA 1630 3.00, and the core courses (GL/CSLA 2001 3.00 and GL/CSLA 3215 3.00, GL/CSLA 2620 3.00 and GL/CSLA 3411 3.00, GL/CSLA 3610 3.00 and GL/CSLA 3830 3.00) and at least six credits at the 4000 level. In addition, students must complete, GL/MATH 1930 3.00, GL/MATH 2650 3.00 and GL/MODR 1610 3.00.

When computer science is the minor discipline, students must complete 24 credits in computer science including 12 credits chosen from among the core courses.

Bachelor Program

Students in the bachelor program must take at least 42 credits in computer science including GL/CSLA 1925 3.00, GL/CSLA 1927 3.00, GL/CSLA 1620 3.00, GL/CSLA 1630 3.00, and the core courses (GL/CSLA 2620 3.00, GL/CSLA 3411 3.00, GL/CSLA 3610 3.00 and GL/CSLA 3830 3.00). 18 additional credits at the 3000 level or the 4000 level should be chosen in consultation with the department. In addition, students must complete GL/MATH 1930 3.00, GL/MATH 2650 3.00 and GL/MODR 1610 3.00.

Note: Courses GL/CSLA 1960 3.00, GL/CSLA 1970 3.00 and GL/CSLA 2915 3.00 cannot be used to meet the minimum requirements. These courses are aimed primarily at students not intending to take additional computer science courses. GL/MATH 1650 3.00 is a prerequisite for GL/CSLA 1927 3.00 and cannot be counted in the minimum requirements.
