Module and Graduation Planning

First Year 5.0 courses numbered 1000-1999, including 1.0 from Category A or B
70% in required principal courses. No principal courses less than 60%

Module Courses 9.0 or more courses specified by Department

70% cumulative average in HSP module with no mark below 60%

Essay 2.0 E, F, G courses including 1.0 from 2000 level or above (essay courses must be done at Western)

Breadth 1.0 Category A (Social Science, Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary, Various)

1.0 Category B (Arts & Humanities and Languages)

1.0 Category C (Science)

Courses No more than 7.0 Year 1 courses, 13.0 minimum senior level

BSc degree 4 year: 11.0 Science/BMSc courses (14.0 maximum in one subject area)*

Averages 60% cumulative average in any additional Module taken

65% cumulative average on 20.0 courses successfully completed

*Subject Areas: Actuarial Science; Astronomy; Biology; Chemistry; Computer Science; Earth Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Physics; Statistical Sciences - are all separate subject areas. Courses in
Applied Mathematics, Calculus and Mathematics belong to the same subject area – the subject area of mathematics.

Year 2: 5.0 Courses

 2.5 courses: Computer Science 2208A/B, 2209A/B, 2210A/B, 2211A/B, 2212A/B/Y
 0.5 course from: Computer Science 2214A/B or Math 2155F/G
 2.0 elective courses
Year 3: 5.0 Courses
 2.5 courses: Computer Science 3305A/B, 3307A/B/Y, 3331A/B, 3340A/B, 3342A/B
 0.5 course: Writing 2101F/G – could be done in 2nd year
 0.5 course from: Stats 2141A/B, 2244A/B, 2857A/B, 2657A, Biology 2244A/B
 1.5 elective courses
Year 4: 5.0 Courses
 0.5 course: Computer Science 3350A/B
 0.5 course: Computer Science 4490Z
 1.0 additional course in Computer Science at the 4000 level
 0.5 additional course from: Math 2156A/B, Computer Science courses at the 3000
level or above.
 2.5 elective courses
Please Note This Important Point:
 Students who are also pursuing the Software Engineering Minor or the Game
Development Minor must take Computer Science 4470Y or 4480Y respectively. If
either minor is taken, Computer Science 4490Z must be replaced in the Honors
Specialization with a 0.5 course in Computer Science at the 4000 level. Students
completing this Honors Specialization must include at least 5.0 courses offered by
departments other than Computer Science, Applied Math, Math, and Stats and
Actuarial Sciences in order to graduate.
