Integrated Mathematics and Computer Science
Overview
Graduate into an industry that has a steady demand for employees with skill sets that combine two disciplines, which has long benefited from trained talents in combining math and computer science. Experiential learning in data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence
- Program graduates have a competitive advantage from their mathematical understanding of maching learning, computer systems and working with large and complex data.
- Recognized as a stand-out program by Macleans University Rankings.
- Prepares you for graduate studies in both mathematics and computer science.
Integrated Mathematics and Computer Science program options
If you're interested in applying to the Integrated Mathematics and Computer Science program without co-op, apply via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) using OUAC code DMC.
If you're interested in applying to the Integrated Mathematics and Computer Science (Co-op) program, apply via OUAC code DIM.
Through the Integrated Mathematics and Computer Science program, you’ll develop a strong foundation in both Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, with access to courses taught by area experts in both fields. Building upon a comprehensive and integrated curriculum of mathematics, computer science and statistics, you'll learn to solve complex and socially relevant problems using tools in computer programming and mathematical analysis in an immersive and experiential learning environment.
The curriculum offers flexibility in upper-year courses, tailored for a wide range of career trajectories and interests. Through program-specific application and integration courses, you’ll engage in experiential learning through self-directed group projects inspired by industry problems and initiatives.
Science and Management
If you are interested in managerial and leadership roles, consider applying for the five-year Bachelor of Science and Management (Honours) program in your upper years of study. Graduates gain a solid foundation in the key functional areas of business and management, including finance, accounting, operations, project management and marketing.
There is a wealth of opportunities for science graduates in industry, government and in areas of applied science. The combination of a science degree and business and management education will give an added advantage to graduates in establishing careers within these practical fields.

Career opportunities
- Computational analytics
- Financial and investment analysis
- Machine Learning and Data Scientist
- System and software development
An Honours undergraduate degree in Integrated Mathematics and Computer Science will also allow you to pursue graduate studies, including the university’s Master of Science program in Computer Science or Master's of Modelling and Computational Science.
Experiential learning
A five-year Co-operative Education option is available; it satisfies the guidelines of the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education. The program combines an Honours Bachelor of Science program with embedded work terms. The co-op option gives you opportunities to apply your classroom and lab concepts to real-world situations and help you gain valuable, relevant work experience to promote networking and lifelong career success.
Co-op work terms give you the opportunity to earn a competitive salary that will help pay for your university degree, and the work experience to help clarify your career objectives. More importantly, a co-op degree gives you a distinct advantage that will assist your prospects for full-time employment after graduation or for being readily accepted into graduate school to pursue further studies. Studies have shown that university students who graduate with a co-op degree have lower debt loads, are employed faster and have higher starting salaries.
We are committed to providing you with outstanding opportunities to work with today’s highest-quality employers in business and industry. Our university has developed strong partnerships with leading employers in Durham Region and beyond to allow you to connect with experts in the field and gain hands-on, real-world experience.
