Computer Science

Computer Science is a Bachelor program taught at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

Computer Science at McMaster University studies the theory and practice of computing. Students cover topics including the theory of computation, algorithm design, programming languages, data science, software development, computer networking, information security, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence. Typical first-year courses include Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science (COMPSCI 1DM3), Introduction to Computational Thinking (COMPSCI 1JC3), and Introduction to Programming (COMPSCI 1MD3).

Teaching and learning include computer science practice and experience courses such as Computer Science Practice and Experience: Development Basics (COMPSCI 1XC3) and Computer Science Practice and Experience: Introduction to Software Design Using Web Programming (COMPSCI 1XD3). The degree includes approximately 25% (30 units) of open electives and 18 units of technical electives in upper years. The program culminates in a capstone project that applies learning to a real-world challenge.

Students can gain experience through a co-op program. McMaster University describes a professional career that starts in the first year with an introductory career planning and employment course, supported through connections with employers and career planning activities. Co-op can start as early as the summer after the first year for a four-month-long co-op, with longer co-op options after the third year lasting eight, 12, or 16 months.
