This program combines full-time English language study delivered at FIC on the Burnaby campus with two academic courses from the UTP Stage I or UTP Stage II. A minimum IELTS score of 5.0 or equivalent is required for the Mixed Program. Progression to second year at Simon Fraser University Bachelor of Applied Science (Computing Science) Areas of study: - Artificial Intelligence
- Computer Graphics and Multimedia
- Programming Languages and Software
- Information Systems
- Computing Systems
- Theoretical Computing
You must complete a minimum of 30 units at FIC with an overall GPA of 2.5 and with a grade of C- or better in all courses upon completion of UTP Stage II, in order to be guaranteed admission to the School of Computing Science. Course offerings may change without notice. Additional SFU programs offered to FIC students can be located here.
