| Acadia University’s Jodrey School of Computer Science will help you move beyond being just a user of computers. The School will teach you how to design and implement computer systems that solve real-world problems. We offer a Bachelor of Computer Science, a Bachelor of Computer Science with Honours, a Bachelor of Applied Computer Science, and a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computer Science. In our Bachelor of Applied Computer Science, we offer defined options in Software Development, Game Development, Data Analytics, Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing, as well as options to take a second major or an interdisciplinary minor. Our programs are designed for those students who do not have a programming course from high school. If you do have programming experience, please let us know, and we may be able to fast-track your 1st year courses. |
