* or a 300- or 400-level CS major course in addition to those required above

Three additional CS courses chosen from CS 340-398, 440-489.

Two additional CS courses chosen from CS 440-489.

One additional course chosen from

(CS 600- or 700-level courses may be taken only if an equivalent 400-level course does not exist and special permission is obtained from the instructor and a CS undergraduate advisor. Courses in this list may be counted as CS 0.5 units.)

The selection of upper-year CS courses must include at least one course from each of at least two of the following area groups

Systems and SE: CS 343, 442, 444, 445, 446, 447, 450, 452, 454, 456, 457
Applications: CS 348, 448, 482, 483, 486, 488
Mathematical Foundations of CS: CS 360, 365, 370, 371, 462, 466, 472, 476, 487

The 5.0 non-math units must either be used to satisfy requirements for a minor or a joint honours plan outside the Faculty of Mathematics, or must satisfy the following elective breadth and depth requirements. (Alternate plans must be approved by a CS advisor).
