Bachelor of Computer Science

The Bachelor of Computer Science (abbreviated BCompSc or BCS) is a bachelor's degree for completion of an undergraduate program in computer science. In general, computer science degree programs emphasize the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing.

Typical requirements

Because computer science is a wide field, courses required to earn a bachelor of computer science degree vary. A typical list of course requirements includes topics such as:

Computer programming

Programming paradigms

Algorithms

Data structures

Logic & Computation

Computer architecture

Some schools may place more emphasis on mathematics and require additional courses such as:

Linear algebra

Calculus

Probability theory and statistics

Combinatorics and discrete mathematics

Differential calculus and mathematics

Beyond the basic set of computer science courses, students can typically choose additional courses from a variety of different fields, such as:

Theory of computation
