Double Honours Programs may be taken in combinations of two subjects. 42 credit units in Computer Science will normally be taken.

The prerequisite structure of courses in C4 of this program assumes 9 credit units of Mathematics or Statistics, 6 credit units of which are required in C1. Students wishing to combine this program with another double honours program will need at least 3 additional credit units in Mathematics or Statistics (STAT 242 recommended).

Students wishing to combine this program with a Double Honours Major 2 in a Type C program that requires additional Mathematics or Statistics beyond those stated in C1 will be able to meet all prerequisites of courses in C4 of this program. However, students in specializations with minimal mathematics requirements may not be able to meet the prerequisites for courses in C4 without taking additional Mathematics or Statistics. For these students, the recommended courses are MATH 110, MATH 164 or MATH 266, and STAT 245.

Students interested in entering a Double Honours program should consult advisors in the department concerned before registering for their second year. Of the 120 credit units required for the B.Sc. Honours degree, at least 66 credit units must be at the senior level. Students must have completed at least 60 credit units (i.e. two full years of undergraduate study) before applying for admission to this program. The deadline to apply is May 31. Formal admission requires

  1. Application for Honours admission, made on the form available from the Department of Computer Science;

  2. Completion of all mandatory 200-level CMPT courses in the C4 Major Requirement:
  • CMPT 214,
  • CMPT 215 or CME 331,
  • CMPT 260,
  • CMPT 270,
  • CMPT 280; and
  1. A Cumulative Weighted Average of at least 70% overall and at least 70% in the courses which are included in each Major Average.

No more than 6 credit units from one subject may be used in Requirements C1, C2, and the Junior Course Requirements in C3. An exception will be made to this rule to allow a student to choose to take 9 credit units in the same subject to fulfill the English Language Writing and Indigenous Learning Requirements (in the C1 College Requirement). Students who make this choice will be required to take 3 additional credit units of Fine Arts Program Type, Humanities Program Type, Social Science Program Type, or Arts and Sci No Program Type courses, in a different subject, within the C5 Electives Requirement.
