4.6.4 Computer Science – Physics & Astronomy Joint Honours Program
The departments of Computer Science and Physics & Astronomy offer a joint Honours program for in-depth study in both Computer Science and Physics & Astronomy.
To enter the Joint Honours Computer Science-Physics and Astronomy program, the student must have a minimum grade of “B” in each of PHYS 1050 (or “B+” in PHYS 1020), PHYS 1070 (or B+ in PHYS 1030), MATH 1300, MATH 1500, MATH 1700 (or any equivalent), COMP 1010 (or COMP 1012) and COMP 1020 and a minimum DGPA of 3.00. Students must complete a minimum of 9 credit hours per term in each Fall and Winter term.
To continue in the Honours program, students must maintain a minimum DGPA of 3.00, complete a minimum of 9 credit hours during each Fall and Winter term (or equivalent for students in the Co-operative option).
To graduate with the Honours degree, a student must obtain a minimum DGPA of 3.00 and present a minimum grade of “C” in each course that contributes to the degree

| NOTES:
1 PHYS 1050 and PHYS 1070 are recommended.
2 MATH 1220 or MATH 1310 may be taken in place of MATH 1300; MATH 1230, MATH 1510 or MATH 1520 may be taken in place of MATH 1500; MATH 1232 or MATH 1710 may be taken in place of MATH 1700; MATH 1690 may be taken in place of MATH 1500 and MATH 1700. Students who have previously completed COMP 2130 may use it in lieu of MATH 1240.
3 As there are no open electives in Year 2 of the program, students should complete the University written English requirement in Year 1. If not completed in Year 1, a “W” course must be completed prior to Year 3 in addition to the required Year 2 courses.
4 When chosen, the Co-operative Option work terms (SCI 3980, SCI 3990, SCI 4980, and SCI 4990 (if selected)) will normally be completed during the Summer Terms following years 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
5 Students are required to take at least one of PHYS 2260 or PHYS 2610.
