Specialized Honours BA Program

The digital media program core is as follows:

All Specialized Honours BA degree candidates must complete one of the following streams in digital media:

Specialized Honours BA Program (Digital Media Development)

Specialized Honours BA Program (Digital Media Arts)

Notes:

  1. Six credits in COMN/STS can be used to satisfy both part of the general education requirements and the six credits in COMN/STS requirement.
  2. Upper-level credits: a minimum of 36 credits must be at the 3000 or 4000 level, at least 18 credits of which must be at the 4000 level.
  3. Additional elective credits must be completed, as required, for an overall total of at least 120 credits. Some students may be required to take more than 120 credits.
  4. * These courses require prerequisites that are not part of the program requirements.
  5. ** These six credits can be used to satisfy the humanities area general education requirement in both FFA and LE.

Graduating in an Honours Program

To graduate in an Honours program requires successful completion of all degree requirements and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.00 (C+) over all courses completed. Students must obtain a minimum of 36 credits at the 3000 or 4000 level, including at least 18 credits at the 4000 level. Of these, 12 credits at the 4000 level must be in the major.

General Prerequisites

Most 3000- and 4000-level EECS courses require the following general prerequisites, in addition to or including other course-specific prerequisites: LE/EECS 2011 3.00; a cumulative grade point average of 4.50 or better over all completed major EECS courses.

Note: the course LE/EECS 1028 3.00 (cross-listed to: SC/MATH 1028 3.00) is a major computer science course.

Courses in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science

A supplemental calendar detailing courses and topics to be offered is available from the department office in March and also on the following page under Program Information: http://www.cse.yorku.ca/cscurrent_students/undergrad_students/index.html

For the purpose of satisfying departmental degree requirements, the major credits taken outside the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science may not exceed six credits in core areas (here defined to be 1000- and 2000-level major courses, 3000-level major courses satisfying the breadth requirement and, for Specialized Honours students, any required 3000- and 4000-level major courses) and 12 credits in total.

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science does not permit any student to take more than three major computer science courses per term except in the BEng degree programs (four major courses are allowed per term) during the fall and winter terms. A lower upper limit (two major courses, three for BEng candidates) applies during the summer term. Students who work full-time are strongly advised to take no more than two major courses in any term.

Course numbering: We follow the convention that courses with 5 as the second digit of the course number may be used as Electives (with some restrictions as detailed in the University and in the Department’s supplemental calendars) but do not count as major credits. In the case of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Software Engineering Programs, 3000- and 4000-level EECS courses are divided into four areas as follows: theory and numerical computation (second digit is 1), systems (second digit is 2), software development (second digit is 3) and applications (second digit is 4).

Courses in the department typically have three class hours per week, and many also have mandated weekly or biweekly Labs for one term, for a credit value per course of 3 or 4 (indicated by course numbers ending in 3.00 or 4.00 respectively), unless otherwise indicated.
