Bachelor of Science, Major in Computer Science

Computer Science programs enable innovation and discovery in most fields. Computer science encompasses both theory and practice; theoretical ideas about how information is represented and processed, and practical techniques for creating new software. UPEI offers computer science degree options including honours, major, minor, specialization in video game programming, and co-operative education. Mathematical and computational sciences are experiencing a “boom”. Everyone is collecting data, and they need people with the skills to manage, analyze, and extract useful information from the data. This is what mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists are trained to do. Employment prospects are among the highest of any field, and Honours graduates are well positioned to pursue graduate studies.
