Specialization in Computing Science
The Specialization in Computing Science program is designed for students to pursue the concentrated study of Computing Science, or to combine the study of Computing Science with another discipline. Students should consider the Science Internship Program.
Continuation in the Specialization in Computing Science program requires successful completion of at least ★18 with a minimum 2.3 GPA and a minimum 2.3 GPA on all CMPUT courses completed in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, graduation requires a minimum 2.3 GPA on the last ★60 and a minimum 2.3 GPA on all CMPUT courses credited towards the degree.
Specialization students must complete a minimum of ★24 in CMPUT courses at the 300- or 400-level offered at the University of Alberta.
Students can take a maximum of ★42 in 100-level courses.
Course selections in other departments and Faculties may be subject to enrolment management and GPA requirements.

Notes
- Options consist of Science options (see details of courses ), Arts options, and other approved options. The options must satisfy at least ★21 from Science (see details of courses ) and at least ★12 from Arts; ★30 can be chosen from Science (see details of courses ), Arts or another Faculty. At least ★9 in options must be at the 300-level or higher.
- Higher level CMPUT courses may require specific CMPUT, MATH or STAT courses as prerequisites. Therefore, prerequisites for higher level CMPUT courses must be considered when choosing options.
- Students must have ★6 in introductory statistics and probability. This can be satisfied by selecting STAT 151 or STAT 235 ) and STAT 252 , or the more advanced sequence of STAT 265 and STAT 266 .
- At least ★6 in CMPUT must be at the 400-level.
- Credit in SCI 100 will be considered equivalent to CMPUT 174 , MATH 114 , MATH 115 and ★18 Science options (see details of courses ).
- Credit in SCI 151 will be considered equivalent to STAT 151 and ★3 Science option (see details of courses ).
