Successful applications to the concurrent program will enter first-year law after completing two years of Computer Science at Western. After one year in the Law School, students in the concurrent program will take a combination of Computer Science and Law courses in years four, five and six. Upon completion of the program students will receive both a BSc in Honors Computer Science and an LLB.

Year 1

Computer Science 025a or 026a/b, and Computer Science 027a/b.

One full course or equivalent, chosen from the following: Mathematics 030, Applied Mathematics 026, Calculus 050a/b, 051a/b, 081a/b, Linear Algebra 040a/b.

One other full-course equivalent.

Computer Science 208a/b, 209a/b, 210a/b, 211a/b, and 212a/b/y.

One half course in Computer Science at the 300-level.

Mathematics 222a, 223b

One half course at the 200-level or higher offered by the Department of Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, or Statistical and Actuarial Sciences.

1. Students must take the following principal Computer Science courses:

   Computer Science 305a/b, 307a/b, 331a/b, 340a/b, 342a/b, and 350a/b. A different 300-level Computer Science course can be substituted if one of these was taken in the second year.

   Computer Science 490y, to be taken in the sixth year.

   One additional half course in Computer Science at the 300-level or higher.

   Four additional half courses in Computer Science at the 400-level/

   Law 462a/c/d and of of Law 431a/c/d, 480a/c/d will be counted as principal courses toward the Computer Science degree.

   In addition, 18 credit hours of Law courses will be counted as subsidiary courses toward the Computer Science degree.

2. Students must take the following Law courses:

   Law 414a/c/d Evidence; 401a/c/d Administrative Law; 403a/c/d Company Law; 438a/c/d Income Taxation; 446a/c/d Civil Procedure; 476a/c/d Trusts; 462a/c/d Intellectual Property; 431a/c/d Computer Law or 480a/c/d Communications Law

3. Students must take an additional 17 credit hours of Law courses, if they took Law 431a/c/d Computer Law, and 18 credit hours if they took Law 480a/c/d Communications Law.
4. Students must also complete a paper of at least two credit hours in one of their law courses.

Applicants to the concurrent program will apply to the Faculty of Law at the beginning of their second year of Computer Science. To be eligible for the concurrent program, students must have a cumulative, weighted average of 78%, or stand in the top 20% of their class in their first two years of Computer Science. In addition, candidates must meet the minimum LSAT requirement established by the Law School Admissions Committee.

Progression Requirements

Once admitted to the concurrent program, students must meet the regular progression requirements of the Faculty of Law and the Department of Computer Science, and stand in the top half of their respective classes in each year.

Failure to Meet Progression Requirements

A student who fails to meet these progression requirements would be required to withdraw from the concurrent program. However, if that student has met the progression requirements of either the Computer Science or Law program, he or she will be allowed to proceed to the next year of that program. In order to graduate, a student who is withdrawn from the concurrent program must complete all the degree requirements of the program in which he or she is registered.

Dean's Honors List

Students in the concurrent program are considered for the Dean's Honors List in the Faculty in which they are enrolled. Eligibility is determined by the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Science.

Graduation with Distinction

Eligibility to graduate with distinction for each degree is determined by each faculty.
