At Laurier Milton, computer science is more than just coding — it’s about designing solutions, solving complex problems, and shaping how we interact with technology. You’ll learn programming, software design, algorithms and data structures while building adaptable skills that are valuable across industries. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Computer Science lets you combine technical learning with another arts program, giving you space to explore how computing connects with human behavior, communication or society. The Bachelor of Science (BSc) offers a deeper dive into computing and science, preparing you for technical roles, research opportunities, or further study in fields like software engineering, data science or cybersecurity. |
