About the Program

Learning about Computer Science is arguably one of the most important routes to understanding and participating in the world of the future.

Our Computer Science program will equip you with both foundational knowledge and applied skills, using a blend of hardware and software courses including extensive lab work. You will learn the methodologies that lead to efficient and accurate software development, and you can choose from a wide range of application areas, including machine learning, robotics, graphics, user interface design and data mining.
Lassonde has teamed up with a variety of companies to help you gain valuable professional experience. There is also an Industry Partnership/Dev Degree option, in which some of your academic courses involve learning on the job as you work at Shopify throughout the 4-year program.

The B.Sc., BA, iB.Sc., iBA and International Dual Degree all allow you to explore learning beyond computer science. In the BA, you can complement your studies with courses from the Liberal Arts such as humanities, social sciences, history, philosophy and more – fields that help you understand human social and creative endeavours and the potential impact of computing. In the BSc, complementary courses will be in the sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics). You can also formalize such studies through a degree minor or double major.
Our International degrees give you the opportunity to learn computer science from a global perspective. Pick up a new language and study abroad as part of the iBA or iB.Sc. degree. In the Dual Degree, you’ll spend a year studying in Germany and Greece. 

Changing the world for the better, perhaps through artificial intelligence, data science, and other new fields of the future, requires more than a purely technical point of view. An awareness of impacts on the world and on our lives is a fundamental outcome of our programs.
