Notes
1 ITI1120 is a prerequisite for most further courses in computer science. GNG1106 is recommended for students not taking further computer science courses.
2 Of the 24 elective credits, some breadth in other sciences is recommended and the following course is recommended in particular: CHM1311 (see also note 3).
3 (MAT2141 or MAT2342) or (MAT2371 or MAT2377) is recommended.
4 May be taken in 3rd year if prerequisites satisfied.
*This course is offered in alternating years with the French equivalent.
Specialization programs are also offered in Physics with Computational Physics Option and in Physics-Mathematics; please consult the relevant tables for details.
For students registered in the Faculty of Science: If the components of your program of study require common compulsory courses, you will have to replace the credits as follows:
1) 1000-level courses must be replaced with electives;
2) 2000-level courses and above must be replaced with courses from either discipline at the same level or above.
Please note that all programs in the Faculty of Science require a minimum of 12 credits from the Faculties of Arts, Education, Law, Social Science or the School of Management. Once you have decided on the replacement courses, please inform the Office of Undergraduate Programs of the Faculty of Science by email at infosci@uOttawa.ca so we may amend your Rabaska audit accordingly.
Co-operative education is available with this program.
The extended French stream is available with this program.
