Description:

The MACS program is a course-based Masters (full-time) completed over 2 years of full-time study. It is open to students with an undergraduate major in Computer Science, or the equivalent combination of courses. Students have flexibility to select from numerous elective courses to design a Master’s program that meets their professional interests and aspirations. Students will also have the option to complete an elective, project-based course in a workplace environment or a co-operative education option.

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
    Incoming Graduate students should have a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science with a 70% average or better; equivalent to grade B or better, or 3.3 or better on the Merit Point system (out of 4). A degree in a related field is acceptable if the applicant shows evidence of a Computer Science background suitable for entry into the Master’s program as judged by the Departmental Graduate Committee. Generally, the minimum background is the equivalent of all required courses of a St.F.X. Honours Computer Science degree. Some applicants may be requested to take make-up courses to satisfy the minimal requirements.
