HONORS SPECIALIZATION IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
The Honors Specialization in Computer Science leads to a Computer Science degree that is accredited by the Computer Science Accreditation Council, the academic arm of the Canadian Information Processing Society. This specialization, in combination with the department's Minor in Software Engineering, leads to degree that is accredited by CSAC as a Software Engineering degree.

Admission Requirements
Completion of first-year requirements with no failures. Students must have an average of at least 70% in 3.0 principal courses, with no mark in these principal courses below 60%, including:
Computer Science 1025A/B or 1026A/B or Engineering Science 1036A/B;
Computer Science 1027A/B or 1037A/B (in either case with a mark of at least 65%);
1.0 course from: Applied Mathematics 1201A/B or 1413, Calculus 1000A/B, 1301A/B, 1500A/B or 1501A/B, Mathematics 1600A/B, or the former Calculus 1100A/B, 1201A/B, Linear Algebra 1600A/B.
Module
