Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Mathematics with Computing Science

 

Only Year One of Computer Science is offered.

YEAR ONE

MATH-1105 (or MATH-1101, MATH-1203), MATH-1206 (*), MATH-2101, MATH-1204, MATH-1116, MATH-1217

6 credits English at 1000 and/or 2000 level

One full course equivalent in a Science other than Mathematics

One semester of close cognates (MATH-2211 recommended)

One full course equivalent in a Science other than Mathematics

One full course equivalent in the Social Sciences

(see NOTE below)

 

YEAR THREE

Three semesters of close cognate courses

Two semesters of Mathematics at the 3000-level or above

PHIL-2222

One full course equivalent in a Science other than Mathematics

One full course equivalent in an Arts subject

MATH-2211 and one of MATH-1109 or MATH-2106 should be included.

 

All students in this program are required to write the Calculus Readiness Test. In Bachelor of Computer Science, BSc (Mathematics) with Engineering or Computer Sciences and BSc (Chemistry) with Engineering, students entering with Mathematics 12 (academic) from Grade 12 or who do not meet the required standard on the required Calculus Readiness Test, should substitute MATH-1101 and MATH-1203 for MATH-1105 and expect to complete MATH1206 at spring session after the first year.

Bachelor of Science (BSc) Chemistry with Engineering

 

With the equivalent of three years of study, a student may satisfy the requirements for the BSc with specialization in Chemistry, as well as an Engineering Diploma (transfer program).  In addition to engineering and other courses, it requires 36 credits of Chemistry with 9 credits at the 3000 levels or above.

6 credits PHIL or HUMA/PHIL-2222,  or 3 credits HUMA/Social Science and 3 credits of a 2000 – level PHIL.  PHIL-2222 is highly recommended. A social science is ANTH, AN/S, ECON, POLS, SOCO or PSYC.

 

Bachelor of Science (BSc) (Biology or Chemistry or Mathematics) jointly with the Engineering Diploma

 

The three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Biology or Chemistry or Mathematics can be combined with any option in the Engineering program, enabling the student to earn two degrees (BSc and BEng) in five years of study, three at CBU and two at Dalhousie. Where courses are listed specifically, they are required for one or both programs. Some changes can be made in the order of electives and core courses and in the division of 2000-level Engineering courses between years two and three.

Caution: Because of prerequisite arrangements in Mathematics, MATH-1204 must be taken no later than the fourth semester. It is therefore NOT generally possible to complete the standard Engineering diploma, then spend an additional year to earn a Bachelor of Science (BSc), in areas that require MATH-1204.
