Bachelor of Science with Major in Computer Science

St. Francis Xavier University

Computer Science (CS) is the study of computation. For any given problem, a central question is whether a solution can be computed, and, if so, what are the most efficient and practical ways to carry out the computation. Computer science also involves questions that have the potential to change how we view the world. In Computer Science at StFX, students are offered a well-rounded education in the scientific foundations of information and computation together with practical techniques for the implementation of these foundations, applicable to almost every facet of life, through an intensive, hands-on approach. You will learn about new technologies and ideas, laying the foundation for various computing careers. At one of Canada’s top undergraduate universities, you’ll get to work closely with faculty members and participate in exciting research projects.Undergraduate students can pursue a Major, Advanced Major or Honours degree in Computer Science. Our undergraduate curriculum aligns with the current guidelines of the ACM and IEEE, which are major international professional organizations that provide curriculum guidelines for computing programs. Our core courses provide a strong computing foundation, while our elective courses keep up with emerging areas and the latest industry demands.B.Sc. with Major, Advanced Major, and Honours
