Students wishing to pursue graduate studies complete an undergraduate thesis mentored by a faculty member and all students have the option of working toward an industry recognized designation in part through their academic studies.

They specialize into one of four streams beginning in second year. Each stream is linked to a professional designation or certificate program for students intent on working in a specialized field upon graduation.

Internship Program Studies

The BMOS program offers an Industry Internship Program (IIP) for students interested in practical degree-related experience in an employment setting prior to graduation. Internships are available across a broad sector of private and public companies and are aligned with Program(s) of study. Students spend 8 – 16 months working in their chosen industry between the third and fourth years of their degree.
