About this programme

Please visit the International application deadline page to find out when applications may be available. Take the first step toward careers in cloud computing, software development, artificial intelligence, game design/development, information science and more with an Associate of Science Degree in Computing Science. In this program, you’ll get to learn and work with programming languages such as Python, C++ and more. You’ll also gain fundamental knowledge in software engineering, data structures and algorithms, computer graphics, user interface design and more. Associate degrees take two years to complete and concentrate on one area of study. If you plan your courses carefully with a university program in mind, you’ll be able to transfer all 60 credits to university. In most cases, an associate degree will allow you to enter the third year of a four-year bachelor's degree program. To ensure your courses transfer, see the BC Transfer Guide . Put your skills to work by joining the optional Co-operative Education Program , which alternates semesters of study with paid, full-time work in your field. You’ll earn money while gaining experience, building your resume and getting an employer reference, all before you graduate. To participate in Co-op you need to plan two semesters in advance, so we strongly recommend contacting the Co-op Office at the start of your program.
