Do you have interests in both computer science and business administration? The BBA/BCS program offers a unique opportunity to receive two highly respected degrees from two outstanding institutions. Graduates of this program will meet the demand from today's information-rich society for personnel with both computer science and business management knowledge.
Applications to this program are through OUAC with the code WBC for applicants to UW.
The first students admitted to the program will begin in September 2010.
The University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University will each admit a limited number of outstanding students to the BBA/BCS program each year. The academic program is identical, regardless of home university. You are eligible for scholarships, live in residence and participate in the co-op process at your home institution.
More detailed information can be found at the site for Prospective Students in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo here.
An overview of admission requirements for Computer Science at UW is here. These requirements are currently identical to those for the BBA/BCS program, described here.
A more detailed view of admission requirements from the Faculty of Mathematics at UW is here.
Note: students applying to the BBA/BCS program who are not selected for admission into the program will be automatically considered for admission to the BCS. Students in the BCS may elect to pursue a Business Option as part of the degree by selecting their upper year CS courses and elective courses appropriately.
A limited number of students currently enrolled in a limited selection of programs at WLU or at UW will be accepted for transfer into the BBA/BCS program to begin as students the following Fall.
The procedure to request a transfer is here.
Students currently enrolled at other institutions apply through OUAC as transfer students to UW.
BBA/BCS program requirements are shown in the UW calendar here.
