For students registered in a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science majoring in Computer Science who are concurrently completing the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) degree, the number of credit hours required to comply with clause 3. a. of the Degree Regulation for the General Degree of Bachelor of Science will be reduced to 69 credit hours. This adjustment will be permitted only for students who are graduating with the Bachelor of Science degree (majoring in Computer Science) and the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) degree at the same convocation. In order to meet all of the requirements of both degree programs at the same time, students who are completing the joint degrees are strongly advised to follow the Suggested Program of Studies outlined below, and to seek advice from the Department of Computer Science and the Faculty of Business Administration in order to ensure that their proposed program is possible within the constraints of course scheduling and prerequisites.

Suggested Program of Studies: Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) and Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) Prior to admission to the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) program:

For the joint degrees of Bachelor of Science majoring in Computer Science and Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative), students must successfully complete a minimum of 150 credit hours in courses applicable to the degrees. To be eligible for admission to Term 1 of the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) program, an applicant must have successfully completed 30 credit hours with an overall average of at least 65% on the courses comprising those credit hours. For the Joint Degree, the 30 credit hours must comprise:

1. Six credit hours in English courses;

2. Six credit hours in Mathematics courses, which must include Mathematics 1000;

3. Economics 2010 and 2020;

4. Business 1000;

5. Computer Science 1710;

6. Six additional credit hours in Science electives. Following admission to the Joint Program, the curriculum is as set out in the table below.

Please refer to the calendar entry for the Faculty of Business Administration for complete course descriptions, regulations and plan of operation for the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) component of the degree, and to the entry for Computer Science for the Computer Science course descriptions.
