Notes

1 ITI1120 is a prerequisite for most further courses in computer science. GNG1106 is recommended for students not taking further computer science courses.
2The following courses are recommended as particularly useful: MAT3130, MAT3155, MAT3341, MAT3380, MAT3395, MAT4183, MAT4381, MAT4385, MAT4386, MAT4387, MAT4388.
3 Out of the 18 elective credits, some breadth in other sciences is recommended and the following course in particular: CHM1311.
4 MAT2371 is a prerequisite for most further MAT courses in probability and statistics.
5 May be taken anytime in 3rd or 4th year if prerequisites satisfied.
*This course is offered in alternating years with the French equivalent.

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.
