What are the differences among the degrees with computer or computational in their names?
The many programs offered at the University of Waterloo vary in depth, breadth, and whether computers are used as a tool in another discipline or studied as a discipline in their own right. The School of Computer Science offers the following degree programs, both designed for accreditation by the Computer Science Accreditation Council (the BMath/CS, having been existence longer, has received accreditation already). The choice between the BCS and BMath/CS is made after first year. • The Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) program is aimed at students who want a solid understanding of computer science, with flexibility to choose from a wide range of elective courses. The Bioinformatics, Business, Digital Hardware, and Software Engineering Options provide concentration in specific areas. You may design your own plan to focus on other areas of interest. • The Bachelor of Mathematics – Computer Science (BMath/CS) program combines Waterloo’s strengths in both mathematics and computer science
