The Computing and Financial Management program is offered jointly by the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the School of Accounting and Finance. Students will be members of both the Faculty of Mathematics and the Faculty of Arts, although, for administrative purposes, they will be registered in a separate unit. The Computing and Financial Management, Honours program leads to a Bachelor of Computing and Financial Management degree.
The course requirements for CFM reflect the interdisciplinary nature of this program, with 19 courses (9.25 academic course units) from the Faculty of Mathematics, 18 courses (9 academic course units) from the Faculty of Arts, and four general electives, for a total of 41 courses (20.25 academic course units).
Students in CFM must fulfil all the requirements of Table 1, except the Undergraduate Communication Requirement. A student’s standing in the program will be determined according to policies used in the Faculty of Mathematics. The Computing and Financial Management program is also considered an Honours Computer Science plan for purposes of student access to math courses.

Note
The Computing and Financial Management program's academic curriculum is a combination of the curricula in Computer Science and Accounting and Financial Management, and therefore, cannot be combined with any academic plan, minor, or specialization offered by the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science or the School of Accounting and Finance. Other academic plan combinations, minors, or specializations may be possible, but may require more than 40 courses (20.0 units) and/or more than the customary eight study terms to satisfy all of the various requirements. Plan combinations, minors, or specializations should not be considered without careful consultation with a Bachelor of Computing and Financial Management (BCFM) academic advisor.
