Programs
The David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science offers several diverse undergraduate programs including:
- Bachelor of Computer Science
- Honours Computer Science
- Business Option
- Bioinformatics Option
- Digital Hardware Option
- Software Engineering Option
- Honours Computer Science
- Bachelor of Mathematics
- Honours Computer Science
- Business Option
- Digital Hardware Option
- Honours Computer Science
- Bachelor of Software Engineering
- Bachelor of Computing and Financial Management
In general, the philosophy of the undergraduate program is to build a solid foundation of mathematics and computer science during the first three years of the program, allowing students more flexibility in fourth year. Required courses for all computer science programs include courses in combinatorics, data structures, algorithms, compilers, software engineering and operating systems. The curriculum is also designed to encourage either significant depth in an area outside of computer science (such as in the Bioinformatics Option) or exposure to a variety of areas outside of the computer science.
The school offers a Masters of Health Informatics program, with a specific focus on computational health informatics: computational techniques that are relevant in healthcare applications.
The school also offers Masters of Mathematics and Ph.D. graduate programs.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
