How does the Post Degree Specialization Certificate (PDSC) compare to the other Computer Science degree options available at this University?
If you already have a 4-year degree other than a B.Sc., the PDSC offers an option to complete the CMPT courses equivalent to a 4-year B.Sc. without concern for non-CMPT electives. If you already have a 3-year or 4-year B.Sc. in another discipline, especially if the degree is from here, you should not consider doing PDSC but should pursue an Advanced or Honours Certificate. An Advanced or Honours certificate certifies that you have completed ALL the requirements for a B.Sc. This is obviously better than a certificate (like a PDSC) that only certifies that you have completed the computer science part of a B.Sc. Thus, if you have already completed the non-cmpt electives as part of your first degree, you can easily complete all the requirements for a B.Sc. Therefore, in this case an Advanced or Honours certificate is the way to go. Doing a PDSC as opposed to a B.Sc. is an attractive alternative for many students whose first degree is not a B.Sc. or else a B.Sc. that does not involve taking
