| Description: |
Computer scientists are problem solvers. The study of computer science provides students with the ability to develop systems for many fields, using innovation and creativity. The knowledge students obtain is applied to many fields such as medicine, business, and forensics. Students at the Jodrey School of Computer Science acquire skills that are relevant, current, and in demand. These skills are gathered in a cutting-edge, nationally-accredited curriculum, as well as through relevant job experience supported by Acadia's co-op program and industry partners. Computing can be your main area of study or integrated with other disciplines such as Biology, Education, or Music. A degree in Computer Science allows a student to secure employment in an area of personal interest.
A co-operative education option is available to students who are enrolled in the Master of Science in Computer Science program. Co-operative education offers a minimum of four months and a maximum of eight months of work experience in industry while students are completing the requirements for a degree. The full 8-months of work experience are required to complete the Co-op Option. Work terms are non-credit courses, graded as pass or fail over and above the required courses for the degree and are not considered as replacement courses for the degree. Students enroll in co-op in September of their first year of study. Two terms of study must be completed prior to the student's first co-op term. Co-op terms must be completed prior to the student's final full term of study.
