Program Summary

Selkirk College offers elective courses in computer
science.

These elective courses are transferable to a variety
of post-secondary institutions. Course requirements
vary among post-secondary institutions. We advise
that you plan your program with a UAS School Chair
for information on transferability.

Admission Requirements

Admission to the program requires the completion
of Pre-calculus 12, Foundations 12, MATH 051 or
MATH 50 with a grade of “C” or better, or written
permission of the Instructor and School Chair.

Other prerequisites depend on the electives chosen
to complete the program. Students who lack the
admission requirements may still gain entry to the
program by taking a combination of upgrading and
university courses in their first year. This may extend
the length of their program.
