CSCI Programs at VIU

Your Computing Science options at VIU are quite varied:

You can get a B.Sc. Major in Computing Science:
with or without a co-op work term option, and
with or without adding minors in one or more other disciplines such as math or digital media.
You can get a B.Sc. by combining minors from two different programs, e.g. a Minor in Computing Science and a Minor in Mathematics.
If you are taking a B.Sc. or B.A. Major in some other program you can add Computing Science as a Minor.
You can get a Diploma in Computing Science (following which you can go on to the B.Sc. if desired, applying all the diploma courses towards your B.Sc.).
