Prerequisites

Basis of admission

Eligible DECs and their conditions

Required prerequisite courses

Alternative pathways: (1) DEC + the 3 listed mathematics courses; (2) technical DEC in computer science with a software development component, with a commitment to pass the prerequisite mathematics activities offered alongside the regular program by the end of the second term. Bridging offered to holders of a technical DEC in computer science (co-op program) and to holders of a DEC in science, computer science and mathematics (recognitions on request). 90 credits, regular and co-op programs, fall and winter admission. Unlimited eligibility according to the legend of the official 2026 statistics ("---: Unlimited eligibility"), hence no published R score cutoff. Access to the co-op program: maintain a cumulative average of at least 2.0 out of 4.3 (continuation requirement, not admission).
