Computing and Business is a four-year honours program leading to a Bachelor of Computing and Business degree, designed for students with an interest in computer science and its application in business. With the current trends to outsourcing and contracting for the provision of computing resources in business, it is imperative that computing practitioners have a strong grounding in business and business practices. These practitioners need entrepreneurial skills as they will often have to establish themselves as independent consultants and compete for contracts. This degree is intended to prepare students to compete in this market.

The program requires a minimum 80 percent admission average on 6 OACs and BCB majors are required to maintain a minimum 75 percent major average in order to continue in the program.

There is also a program leading to a BSc in Computer Science offered by the Computer Science department.

An Internship option is available in this program.

Please consult the relevant entry for a listing of program requirements.
