Options in Computer Science
There are three options in computer science: Business, Science, and Hardware. All options have approximately the same core computer science courses, with additional courses allowing the student to gain more detailed understanding in an area closely related to computer science. Here are the courses a first-year student in Computer Science would take according to the Option chosen.
1. Business Option:
(a) Mathematics 1180, 1281; Computer Science 1411, 1431
(b) One FCE elective in Humanities or Social Sciences chosen from: History 1100, Philosophy 1100, or any combination of English 1011, 1031, 1111, 1112
