Program overview
Bachelor of Science - Computer Science is a four year honours route at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. The Bachelor of Science - 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 Science - Computer Science gives students the full depth of the subject and room for electives across the faculty. Taking Bachelor of Science - 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 Science - Computer Science over a dual route.
Degree level programmes are exempt from the field of study rules that apply to non degree credentials, so Bachelor of Science - Computer Science needs no CIP code check. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Science - 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 Science - Computer Science in writing before you pay a deposit.
