Computer Science — Software Engineering

This is a four year undergraduate program accredited by the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS), leading to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BScCS). Both honours and majors are available through the three specializations. A set of core courses and some student selected courses comprise the requirements for the degree. For general regulations on admission, please consult the appropriate section of the University calendar. Transfer into the BScCS from another UNB degree program is not permitted if the GPA for the most recent assessment period is below 2.0. For transfer from another university, a CGPA equivalent to 2.0 at UNB is required.Software Engineering is the application of engineering principles to the design of computer software. It is a fusion of computer science - which has developed a vast body of knowledge of software in the past two decades - and engineering - which uses mathematics and science to build products that are both useful and safe. Software delivers what many believe will be the most important product of this new century - information. As a result, employment opportunities abound locally and internationally, in virtually every sector of industry. UNBSJ offers all courses for the first year and most of the courses for the second year of Software Engineering.
