The Honours Program in Computer Science is designed for high achieving students who would like to concentrate their studies or pursue graduate work.

Honours students must complete a larger set of CS courses than are required for the CS Major, including completing an Honours Project.

Eligibility

To be eligible for admission, students must have completed all Computer Science core courses (Computer Science 1001, 1002, 1003, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008) and obtained in these courses a grade of "B" or better, or an average of 75% or higher.
