The combined degree program in Mathematics and Computer Science is for students with a joint interest in both fields of study.
Since Computer Science developed out of Mathematics the two disciplines enjoy a strong relationship. A big part of Computer Science research relies on the collaboration between Mathematics and Computer Science. Disciplines with strong background in both areas include Graphics, Bioinformatics and the Design and Analysis of Algorithms.
The combined degree program includes the essential courses for both a Mathematics and Computer Science degree. This program has an optional co-op component. Students in this program are able to access co-op placements from the CSc/Math Co-op, part of the Faculty of Engineering Co-op.

Degree
Students in this program work towards a Bachelor's degree of Science as a Combined Major in Mathematics and Computer Science.
Unit/Department
Although students are considered to be equally part of both Computer Science and Mathematics, the "home" department for students in this Combined Program will be the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science.
Co-op
Optional Co-op program -- coordinated through the Computer Science/Math Co-op office or the Faculty of Engineering Co-op office.
