Proposed calendar changes: CMPT Post Baccalaureate Diploma

Greg Baker, Director of Undergraduate Programs, School of Computing Science

Jan 8, 2008

Summary of Changes

Course requirement modified to allow up to 6 credits of non-CMPT work in the diploma.

Rationale

Many students at this level have broad interests and goals. This will allow them to take two courses that are relevant to their future career goals or graduate work.

Revised Wording

[Changes highlighted]

Changes to CMPT Postbac
CurrentProposed

This program is for students who already possess a university degree. It includes studies in computing science at a more advanced level.

Requirements

Students complete an approved program consisting of at least 30 credit hours which include the following or equivalent.

CMPT 300-3 Operating Systems I
CMPT 307-3 Data Structures and Algorithms
CMPT 354-3 Database Systems and Structures

Students must complete additional upper division computing science courses and/or computing science graduate courses (with instructor's consent) to bring the total to at least 30 credit hours.

Courses must be selected in consultation with a program advisor to achieve a coherent program of study. The student is responsible for satisfying the prerequisites of program courses. This may entail taking more or all courses listed in the lower division requirements of the major in computing science (depending upon the student's prior transcript).
