Program Overview
By choosing Acadia's graduate program in computer science, you will increase the depth and breadth of your knowledge through additional coursework and study, and you will further develop your research skills through challenging projects and development of a thesis with your supervisor. You will benefit from our small class sizes and collaborative approach to research—developing a high degree of contact and collaboration with your supervisor and gaining skills by working with groups with fellow researchers. Many of our research projects are collaborative in nature, where you will be working and reflecting with your supervisors and groups of students while pursuing your own particular research project.
The course-based MSc in Computer Science will extend your knowledge in the field without involving a thesis. You will explore courses in the various topic areas, expanding the breadth of your expertise.
Co-op education
- Students in all three program options are welcome to enroll in our Co-op Education program. You'll earn eight months of valuable industry experience (two four-month placements) and income while you complete your degree requirements.
