Bachelor's degree program studying theoretical or practical aspects of computing

The Bachelor of Computer Science (abbreviated BCompSc or BCS) is a bachelor's degree for completion of an undergraduate program in computer science. In general, computer science degree programs emphasize the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing.

Typical requirements

Because computer science is a wide field, courses required to earn a bachelor of computer science degree vary. A typical list of course requirements includes topics such as:

  • Computer programming
  • Programming paradigms
  • Algorithms
  • Data structures
  • Logic & Computation
  • Computer architecture

Some schools may place more emphasis on mathematics and require additional courses such as:

  • Linear algebra
  • Calculus
  • Probability theory and statistics
  • Combinatorics and discrete mathematics
  • Differential calculus and mathematics

Beyond the basic set of computer science courses, students can typically choose additional courses from a variety of different fields, such as:

  • Theory of computation
  • Operating systems
  • Numerical computation
  • Compilers, compiler design
  • Real-time computing
  • Distributed systems
  • Computer networking
  • Data communication
  • Computer graphics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Human-computer interaction
  • Information theory
  • Software testing
  • Information assurance
  • Quality assurance

Some schools allow students to specialize in a certain area of computer science.
