The Computer Science program exposes you to not just the software, but also to the hardware that underlies computer and embedded systems, giving you a fundamental understanding of digital systems and microprocessors, and an appreciation for the interaction between the hardware and the software. While exposure to high school computer science is useful, the first-year Computer Science at Laurier courses provide you with the necessary background. In senior years, you will select courses in application areas ranging from internet computing to writing apps for mobile computing, from applied cryptography to quantum computing. In addition, you’ll gain necessary experience in group work, project administration and time management.
