Additional work is required to total 21 upper division MATH and 24 upper division CMPT units including core requirements. MACM are counted in an alternating fashion toward the MATH and CMPT requirements, starting with the first MACM course completed, counting toward either MATH or CMPT. Twelve units must be at the 400 division or higher, including at least three units each of CMPT and MATH.

Other Requirements

The program is subject to Faculty of Science and University regulations. Course and prerequisite admission is subject to departmental requirements. MACM major graduation is contingent upon a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and upper division grade point average (UDGPA) of 2.00 or better. Students must also achieve a 2.00 or better CGPA and UDGPA in each of the CMPT, MACM and MATH designations. Faculty of Applied Sciences residency requirements apply to the computing science courses used toward the program.

Co-operative Education and Work Experience

All computing science students are strongly encouraged to explore the opportunities that Work Integrated Learning (WIL) can offer. Please contact a computing science or mathematics co-op advisor during the first year of studies to ensure that you have all of the necessary courses and information to help plan for a successful co-op experience.

Visit for more computing science information, or for mathematics, .

Faculty of Science Degree Requirements

In addition to the above requirements, students must also satisfy Faculty of Science degree requirements to complete a minimum of 120 units including additional upper division units to total a minimum of 44 upper division units.

Residency Requirements and Transfer Credit

The University’s residency requirement stipulates that, in most cases, total transfer and course challenge credit may not exceed 60 units, and may not include more than 15 units as upper division work.

Elective Courses

In addition to the courses listed above, students should consult an to plan the remaining required elective courses.

Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements

Students admitted to Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV beginning in the fall 2006 term must meet writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of any degree program they may undertake. See for university-wide information.
