Academic Plans - Non-Departmental

Computational Science

Honours Computational Science - all Plans Core Requirements

Advisor: Professor R. LeRoy (Chemistry)

These Academic Plans have a common core of mathematics, computer science, and science courses plus two upper year Computer Science electives chosen from a specialized list of CS courses that is common to all of the specializations. Each Plan has additionally a number of core courses that are specific to the particular plan, plus electives. Electives may also be divided into two classes: Specialization Electives that are specific to a particular Plan, and Free Electives.

Continuation in the Plans will require the maintenance of an Overall Average of 60%, a Science Average of 60%. Failure of more than 2.0 units of core courses in any given plan will result in withdrawal from that plan.

Completion of the English Language Proficiency Examination (ELPE) is a requirement for graduation.

For students studying in the co-op format, find detailed information on co-op program requirements in Co-operative Program Evaluation and the Co-operative Education and Career Services section of the undergraduate calendar.

The Computational Science Core defines 9.5 lecture units and 1.5 lab units that are common to all Plans. Each Plan contains a set of plan core courses in addition to the common Computational Science core courses plus a number of Free Electives; further, the four sets of Specialization Plans each contain several Specialization Elective courses.

Computational Science Plans are:
Computational Science (No Specialization)
Computational Science/Biochemistry
Computational Science/Chemistry
Computational Science/Earth Sciences
Computational Science/Physics

The common Core courses include: MATH 114, 127, 128, 227, 228, ENVE 224 or STAT 202, CS 115, 116, 230, 234, 370, CHEM 120/120L, 123/123L, EARTH 121/121L, 122/122L, PHYS 121/121L, 122/122L.

The two upper year CS Electives chosen from: CS 330 or 338, 430, 436, 437,475, 476.
