|
At this level, interested and qualified students should be able to select one from among several electives to gain depth of understanding or special skills in particular areas of computer science. All of these electives will require the Level II course as a prerequisite, while some may require the Level III course as well. Most importantly, these courses provide students with an opportunity to explore topics of personal interest in greater depth, and thus prepare themselves for the workplace or for further study at the post-secondary level.
