Program overview
Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science is a four year honours route at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. The Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science curriculum covers programming, data structures and algorithms, software design, databases, operating systems and the mathematics that underpins computing across four years.
Studied as a single major rather than inside a dual degree, Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science gives students the full depth of the subject and room for electives across the faculty. Taking Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science on its own carries one implication worth stating. Pairing computing with a second specialisation or a graduate route later produces a graduate who can build systems and explain them to people who cannot, which is a rarer combination than either skill alone, which is worth weighing before choosing Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science over a dual route.
Because Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science is a degree, the field of study restriction that catches non degree credentials does not apply and no CIP verification is required. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science in writing before you pay a deposit.

Tuition for Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science is recorded at CAD 21,000 a year with a CAD 150 application fee, and 5 intake windows are listed. Apply Study Visa manages the Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
