Software Design

The precise requirements for Computing degree plans are listed in the Arts and Science Calendar. In case of discrepancies, the calendar should be considered as the official definition of the Computing degree plans.

Electives can be any course in the Arts and Science Calendar, including CISC courses. That is, you can take more CISC courses than the minimum required number. Special permission is needed for an Arts and Science student to take courses from other faculties (Applied Science, Business, etc) as electives, unless those courses are already listed in the Arts and Science Calendar. A student in fourth year with a first class average may apply to take a CISC graduate course in place of a 400 level CISC course. The student must obtain approval from the department and from the course instructor. If the student later enters a graduate Computing degree program at Queen's, this course cannot be counted toward the graduate degree.

All Computing concentrations start with CISC-121. If you take CISC-101 before taking CISC-121, CISC-101 will count as an elective for you. With the exception of CISC-498/6.0, all CISC-courses are 3-unit courses.

Bachelor of Computing (Honours) in Software Design (SODE-P-BCH)

Software Design is a 120-unit plan. Full year courses (indicated by /6.0) count as 6.0 units and half-year courses count as 3.0 units. See the Faculty of Arts and Science calendar for complete details.
