Stand out from the crowd by specializing in cloud computing, data analytics, game engineering or network engineering. You’ll be introduced to each of these growing fields of computer science in your first year of studies, then take eight courses in the area of your choice. Each field requires specific skills not taught in traditional diploma and degree programs.
Not a computer expert? No problem! You'll begin with the basics in your first year, learning about computer programming, networks, mathematics, scripting and database modelling. More than 80% of our Computer Science degree curriculum consists of core courses designed to develop fundamental skills that will prepare you to work in all areas of computer science, both now and in the future.
At Sheridan, we believe the best way to learn is through hands-on experience. Between your third and fourth year of studies, you can work for our industry partners through a four-month internship or a paid co-op placement that can last up to 16 months. You can also sharpen your research skills by providing computer science support to any of Sheridan's various applied research projects.
Your education should support your future goals. In your fourth year, you'll have the option of working on either a capstone project or thesis. Capstones involve developing a solution to a significant problem and may include an external client or partner — ideal if you're seeking employment immediately after graduation. The thesis research project option is also offered in case you intend to pursue graduate studies in computer science.
It's always good to keep your options open. Our Computer Science degree shares many common core courses with our Mobile Computing degree, making it easy to transfer from one to the other. If you want to change specializations after two years, you'll only need to make up two courses.
And if you're interested in furthering your studies after graduation, our honours bachelor's degree is accepted for graduate admission at a broad range of institutions in Canada and internationally.

Have you previously studied in a different applied computing program? You may be able to go directly into the second year of Sheridan’s Honours Bachelor of Computer Science degree, where you can specialize in cloud computing, data analytics or game engineering.
Our Degree Completion program allows you to apply credits you’ve already earned towards a Sheridan degree, providing a quicker path towards upgrading your credential and opening more career and educational opportunities.
This Degree Completion program begins in September only.
Admission requirements for direct entry into the second year of Sheridan’s Honours Bachelor of Computer Science degree are determined by your previous program of study and the institution you previously attended.
Depending on your previous program and institution, you’ll need to complete certain reach-back courses before entering the degree program (required courses from Year 1 of the degree that were not taught in your previous program). The number of block transfer credits that you’ll be granted also depends on your previous program and institution.
Please note that you will still be required to meet all liberal arts breadth course requirements of a bachelor’s degree. Visit myPathways for more details on reach-back courses and pathways.

In our Honours Bachelor of Computer Science program, you'll learn foundational skills that prepare you to work in any area of computer science. But you’ll also have the chance to specialize in one of four emerging fields that interests you the most.
In the first year of the program, you’ll be introduced to each of these four fields: cloud computing, data analytics, game engineering, and network engineering.
Then, you’ll focus your studies on your selected specialization. You’ll take eight courses in your specialization of choice, gaining specific skills that are not taught in traditional diploma and degree programs. Your computer science specialization will give you a competitive advantage when you graduate.
Get a deeper understanding of cloud computing — the delivery of computing system resources such as software, databases, servers, data storage, and more — over the Internet. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of private, hybrid or public cloud delivery.
Learn how to apply statistical analysis, data mining and other advanced techniques to draw new and useful insights from large data sets. Confidently interpret and share information about the data patterns you discover.
Master the algorithmic, programming and mathematical techniques used to develop software components for computer games.
Learn the specialized skills needed to plan, construct, optimize and manage the computer networks that businesses and organizations rely on every day.
