SCIS students can add breadth to their learning by augmenting their computing education with knowledge from other disciplines.

SMU SCIS students can choose to graduate with either a double degree or a second major which makes them more attractive to employers and provides more versatility in their career choices.

DOUBLE DEGREES

SMU SCIS students can choose to graduate with a double degree by combining their discipline with either Accountancy, Business Management, Computer Science1, Computing & Law, Economics, Information Systems1, Law2 or Social Sciences or Software Engineering1 disciplines.

Upon successful completion, students receive two degree certificates.

  • Prospective students with outstanding academic results may apply for direct entry to the double degree programme.

  • Current students currently enrolled in a single degree programme and who display exceptional results in their first or second year, can also opt for the double degree programme.

If successful, students can take courses from both degree programmes concurrently. There is no fixed sequence for completing the required courses, as long as the prerequisites for each course are met. While it is possible to complete the double degree programme within four years, students should be aware that specific programme requirements or course scheduling may extend the overall duration.

SECOND MAJORS & TRACKS

SMU SCIS students may also elect for a second major with or without track to augment their knowledge from the many second major options offered by the SMU schools:
