One additional CS course chosen from CS 340-CS 398, CS 440-CS 489.

Two additional CS courses chosen from CS 440-CS 489.

One additional course chosen from

CO 487 Applied Cryptography
CS 440-CS 498
CS 499T Honours Thesis
STAT 440 Computational Inference
CS 600- or 700-level courses
Note: 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 unit.

Three additional courses with ACTSC, AMATH, CO, PMATH, STAT subject codes, excluding the following:

  • Courses with requisites normally excluding Honours Computer Science students
  • Courses cross-listed with a CS course
  • Courses explicitly listed in Computer Science major plans as alternatives to CS courses
  • Readings and topics courses
  • ACTSC 221, CO 353, CO 380, CO 480

The 5.0 non-math units must satisfy the same restrictions as specified for the Bachelor of Computer Science.
