Honours Physics and Computer Science (81 credits)

Program Requirements

This program provides essential background in physics and computer science at a level sufficient to pursue courses at the 400- and 500-level in either discipline. The program is intended to be flexible to allow students to take either more physics or more computer science courses at the advanced level.

Students entering this Honours program should have high standing in mathematics, physics, and computer science.

To graduate with an Honours degree, a student must have, at time of graduation, a CGPA of at least 3.0 in the required and complementary courses of the program, as well as an overall CGPA of at least 3.0

The program may completed in 78 or 81 credits.

Note: COMP 202—or an equivalent introduction to computer programming course— is a program prerequisite. U0 students may take COMP 202 as a Freshman Science course; new U1 students should take it as an elective in their first semester.

Required Courses (63 credits)

*Note: The student must then take MATH 314 in their second semester instead of MATH 248, if scheduling requires it.
