The Computer Science program offers three specializations, including Theoretical Computer Science, Data Analytics and Software Engineering. Students interested in pursuing a specialization are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor, as additional courses will be required. Some specializations will require students to complete more than 10.0 credits at Trent University in order to meet specialization, major and degree requirements. 

Degree requirements are subject to change. Refer to the most recent version of the Academic Calendar for course descriptions and degree requirements (http://trentu.ca/calendar). Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for courses for assistance with degree planning (http://trentu.ca/advising).
