B.Sc. Honours Combined Major in CS & Mathematics

Academic Requirements

In order to earn the Honours designation, students must attain a Program GPA of 70% and a Major GPA of 75%. Students not meeting this requirement but still achieving a GPA of 65% will graduate with a regular B.Sc. Combined Major in Computer Science and Mathematics.

Program Overview

A combined major is single major that has been designed to provide a student with knowledge relating to two areas of study. It requires fewer courses in each individual area, but a good background in both and an understanding as to how the two relate.

Note that a combined major is not the same as a double major. A double major requires a student to meet all the requirements of two majors within 120 credit hours. If you are interested in a double major, please contact the Academic Program Advisor.
