*Additional notes: Computer Science and other choice credits must include at least 2.5 science credits, at least 1.0 credit at the 3000 and/or 4000 level(s), and no more than 2.5 credits at the 1000 level. Students in the degree completion program will be allowed to enroll concurrently in COIS 2020H, COIS 2240H, and any course for which COIS 2020H, COIS 2240H and/or 2300H is a prerequisite (e.g. COIS 3030H, COIS 3040H, COIS 3320H). Three specializations are available in the Computer Science program, including Computer Science, Data Analytics, and Software Engineering. Interested students are encouraged to speak with an academic advisor, as studies may be required in addition to the 10.0 credits at Trent University.

Degree requirements are subject to change. Refer to the most recent version of the Academic Calendar for course descriptions and degree requirements, which apply to all undergraduate programs (http://trentu.ca/calendar). Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for courses for assistance with degree planning (http://trentu.ca/advising).
